Epi 193: Stop Posting Project Photos And Start Doing THIS Immediately

Owen sits down with Leon Sokolski, founder of Lokal Engage, to break down why having a pretty website is actually bleeding your building company dry. Leon explains how to turn your digital presence from an online brochure into a 24/7 sales rep that protects your margins, filters out tire kickers, and pre-qualifies your ideal clients.

They dive into the brutal reality of scaling a business and the toxic trap of misaligned partnerships. Leon shares specific strategies for increasing website conversions, from creating a bold site policy guarantee to using the sawdust strategy for repurposing video content. They also unpack why AI is about to force operational efficiency across the building industry and how you can get ahead of it.
