“We were nervous about expanding too quickly. Growth Bridge Media helped us test five new markets before we even opened physical offices—bookings came in before we hired local teams!” — Jason K., Founder, SwiftShift Movers
Before Partnering With Us
Swift Shift Movers was struggling with:
Limited to one city, relying on word-of-mouth
No clarity on real demand in nearby locations
Losing leads to larger franchises with stronger local presence
Broad ad targeting that burned budget without bookings
Our Multi-City Lead Generation & Expansion Funnel
We built a zip-code specific lead funnel to test, validate, and scale into multiple nearby markets—without needing new websites or offices.
1. Google Ads with Zip Code Targeting by City
We found exactly which zip codes booked and which didn’t—no guesswork.
We launched separate campaigns for each of the 5 new cities with tight geographic segmentation.
Keywords Used: “Local movers in [city name]” “Licensed moving company [zip code]” “2 men and a truck near me” “Same-day movers [location]”
Key Tactics: Individual call and message extensions for each city City-specific ad copy to boost CTRs and quality score Paused low-performing zip codes within 10 days to stop wasted spend
2. Meta Ads for Local Awareness + Retargeting
While Google captured urgent intent, Meta helped warm up cold audiences and retarget recent visitors.
Creative Strategy: “1-Minute Move” time-lapse video ads showing real team in action Carousel ads featuring: team photos, trucks, happy customers Lead form ads with the hook: “Get an Estimate in 60 Seconds”
Bonus: We boosted Charlotte’s existing page posts into new markets to test local interest without creating new profiles.
3. Data-Driven Scaling Decisions
The client made staffing decisions based on real lead volume—not gut feeling.
We tracked key expansion metrics to prioritize profitable cities:
Cost per qualified lead per city Lead-to-booking ratio by zip code Missed call rate per location campaign Google Analytics + Meta reporting dashboards
