Pool Cleaning & Maintenance Case Study

Sonus Digital's digital marketing solutions help a pool service company fill its weekly route with recurring customers.

Pool service businesses live and die by route density and recurring accounts, not one-off jobs. This case study looks at how a pool cleaning company used targeted local marketing to fill gaps in its existing routes with signed, recurring maintenance customers.
