257: Your Detailing Business is Making a BIG Marketing Mistake
2026/05/26
✏️ Join Detailers Growth Academy: https://detailgroove.co/detailers-growth-academy/ In this episode, I break down the one thing that most detailers overlook when it comes to marketing: volume. It doesn't matter if you're running Meta ads, Google ads, doing SEO, posting on social media, or handing out door hangers.  If you're doing the bare minimum, you'll always get below average results. I walk through real examples comparing websites, reviews, social media, paid ads, and flyers to show you exactly how volume changes your output. I also bust the myth that "volume detailing" is a bad thing.

2026/05/22
✏️ Join Detailers Growth Academy: https://detailgroove.co/detailers-growth-academy/ In this episode, I break down what actually moves the needle in your detailing business versus what just looks productive.  You'll learn why working on luxury vehicles doesn't mean you're making more money, why revenue is one of the most misleading metrics detailers chase, and why adding new services or equipment can become a distraction rather than an opportunity.  We also cover the danger of comparing yourself to other detailers flaunting big revenue numbers online. If you want to stop chasing vanity metrics and start focusing on what actually makes your business profitable, this episode is for you.

244: The BIG Mistake Detailers Make With Their Website - Website Review
2025/10/23
✏️ Join Detailers Growth Academy: https://detailgroove.co/detailers-growth-academy/ Websites are hyper important to grow your business. But the big problem is, too many detailers focus on the wrong part of the website. I've seen detailers spend $5,000 on a website and still get zero customers.  In this episode, I'll show you examples of websites that are simple and not-very-custom, but they generate $40M to $140M in annual revenue. That's because the design is no where near as important as the optimization.
