Revenue Leak Report
Hivelead · sample estimate
Est. annual revenue leaking
$312,400
~22% of revenueYou built something real: customers, revenue, a reputation people trust.
But growth got harder. Referrals don't fill the calendar like they used to. Lead costs keep climbing. A competitor who isn't better than you keeps showing up where you used to.
And there's no one to hand the marketing to, because you're already doing three jobs.
The problem usually isn't effort. It's the system underneath: the part that answers every lead, follows up, tracks what each customer cost, and brings past customers back. Either it was never built, or it was built for a smaller business than the one you run now.
The good news: a missing system is a buildable one.
An agency sells you tactics and sends a report. A consultant hands you a plan and leaves you to carry it out.
A growth operator builds the system and runs it. We're measured by what it produces: booked jobs, and what each one cost you.
You get the strategy of a CMO and the execution of a full team, without the payroll.
The Leaks
Most owner-run service businesses lose revenue in the same four places. The Revenue Leak Calculator estimates each one from your own numbers. Here's what each leak looks like, what we build to close it, and how closing it pays you back.
Packages
We fix the leaks before we buy you more traffic. Sending more leads into a system that loses them just makes the leak more expensive.
Run the Revenue Leak Calculator, then walk through your results with us on a one-hour teardown call. You'll leave knowing which leaks are biggest and what to fix first, whether or not you hire us.
One-time build, then monthly maintenance.
We set up or upgrade your CRM and automation to close all four leaks: instant response, follow-up, a pipeline with tracking, and past-customer reactivation.
Already have a CRM? We build on what you have instead of replacing it. Your team keeps working the way it does; the system handles the chasing.
Monthly.
Once your business can catch every lead, we bring in more: Google, Meta, and AI ad channels, landing pages, and SEO and AI search, all tracked to booked jobs.
Already running your own ads? We can take them over, or upgrade what you built and keep you in the loop on every decision.
Websites, copywriting, creative, and reporting are included wherever a package needs them.
Every business leaks differently, so we price after your free Diagnosis, once we know what you actually need. You'll get a fixed quote before any work starts.

FAQ
Most businesses start with the Leak Fix, because it makes every lead you already get worth more. If your CRM and follow-up are already solid, you may go straight to the Growth Engine. The Diagnosis tells you which.
We report in booked jobs and cost per customer, not clicks and impressions. And our average client stays more than three years, which doesn’t happen if the numbers aren’t there.
No. We do the setup and the running. Your part is a kickoff call, a review before launch, and a short check-in once things are running.
We don’t throw out what works. We upgrade the parts that stop holding up at your current volume, usually tracking, follow-up, and ad efficiency, and you stay in control of the decisions.
We’ve run the same systems in home services, legal, automotive, and home improvement, across different cities. The leaks are the same in every owner-run service business.
Leak fixes can start paying off immediately, because they work on leads you already have. Ad results depend on your market and budget. You’ll get a realistic timeline after the Diagnosis.
