The Challenge

A Premium Builder With No Marketing Engine

Blue Tree Landscaping builds luxury custom pools, hardscaping, and landscaping in the Philadelphia suburbs. They had the craftsmanship. They had the reputation. What they didn't have was a system to predictably generate high-value leads and track what was working.

✕ Before ROI.LIVE

No centralized CRM or lead tracking
Ad campaigns running without attribution data
No email marketing or nurture sequences
No idea which channels produced which revenue
Pool campaigns under-funded during peak demand

✓ After ROI.LIVE

Full RG Tracking attribution on every lead
Google + META campaigns with 36× combined ROAS
GHL CRM with automated follow-ups
Klaviyo email marketing driving conversions
$4.38M in total revenue won across 350 deals
Return On Investment

Every Dollar, Multiplied.

Blue Tree invested $43,513 in paid advertising across Google and Meta in 2025. That spend produced $1,587,228 in closed revenue — a 36× return. The pool campaigns alone produced $1.46M from paid ads at 34× ROAS.

The Math That Changes Everything
Using campaign-level attribution (not blended averages), every pool customer costs $988 to acquire and returns $132,933 in revenue. Google is the efficiency king at $498 per sale → 293× ROAS, while Meta's "worst" number — $1,844 per sale — still delivers 60× returns. One single deal, a $305K custom pool from a Google ad, returned 87× the entire Google pool budget.
