Athay Google Ads Direct Response Engine

Description: Houston-based mobile car detailing acquired through Google Search Ads. High-intent prospects see a search ad and either click through to the LP or call directly from the ad's call extension. LP visitors fill a quote form or call from the page. All paths converge into GHL (contact + opportunity created), then branch by lead type: form leads receive an automated email/SMS sequence before manual sales conversation, phone leads go directly to Oliver's sales framework. One operator, one channel, one flow. Core Offer: Mobile car detailing — Phase 1 package menu (Problem-Specific $299-549, Signature $349-549, Premium/VIP $599-1,200+) Sales Motion: Direct response — Google Search Ads → LP → phone/text sales conversation → book service Triggering Events: Google Search (primary ~95%), word-of-mouth/referral (secondary ~5%) Ending Event: Prospect books a service. Post-booking delivery and payment happen but are not part of the mapped engine — zero post-service systems exist.

Engine Summary

Prospects in Houston search Google for car detailing, see one of three intent-based search ads, and either click through to the landing page or call directly via the ad's call extension. On the LP, visitors either fill out a quote form (landing on a thank you page) or call via the page's call button. Both call entry points merge into one path — it doesn't matter where they called from.

All three entry points (form, call from ad, call from LP) converge into one shared CRM flow: contact created in GHL (tagged per source), opportunity created on the sales pipeline, internal notification sent to the team.

The flow then branches based on how the lead came in:

Phone call path: If Oliver answers, he runs the sales framework on the call. If he misses it, he calls back. Either way, the goal is booking a service on that conversation. If the prospect doesn't answer the callback or doesn't book, it's a dead end.

Form submission path: An automated sequence fires — confirmation email, confirmation SMS, then Oliver's intro SMS (~4 min delay) and a follow-up SMS (~30 sec later). If the prospect responds, Oliver runs the sales framework via SMS toward booking. If they don't respond, Oliver manually follows up (call or text, 15-60 min later). If they still don't respond, dead end.

Both paths converge on the same endpoint: SERVICE BOOKED.
