Facilities management
Where the real cost per lead lives, after the vanity metrics are stripped out.
Commercial facilities management: janitorial, landscaping, snow, maintenance. The buyer is a facility manager with actual square footage and procurement authority. Measurement first. Pipeline-honest attribution. Paid media priced against real form submissions and verified calls, not directions clicks.

Why websites quietly stop working. And what an actual maintenance contract looks like.

How we work this vertical
Four signatures of the work.
Multi-brand portfolios, dispersed service areas, rollup M&A cadence. Unifying a dozen acquired brands under one digital roof.
Signature 02
CPL attribution at scale
Page-view 'conversions' get purged in week one. Real form submits and 60-second-plus calls become the only numbers we optimize against. RNA went from $400 CPL to $132 that way.
Signature 03
Multi-brand portfolio systems
TFG operates 23 subsidiary brands on one shared digital infrastructure with 24 active web properties. Each brand keeps its identity; the operational tier runs portfolio-wide.
Signature 04
Local service SEO
Service-area pages that rank for 'commercial janitorial Detroit' and every real variant. Not one catchall page doing 400 jobs. One clean page per service × territory combination.

What we won't do
In Facilities, we'd rather turn it down than fake it.
The shape of what we'll take is also the shape of what we won't. We'd rather lose the deal than ship the wrong work. Most of these have already cost us engagements. We're fine with that.
- 01
We don't take cleaning companies under $2M revenue trying to scale Google Ads.
Without CRM bandwidth, lead-routing infrastructure, or sales follow-through, paid spend just generates leads that go cold. We'd waste your money.
- 02
We refuse 'engagement' or 'directions click' as conversion goals.
Those are vanity events designed to make agencies look good. Qualified leads or real revenue. Period.
- 03
We turn down rollup acquirers who won't preserve subsidiary brand identity.
The TFG model works because EBM, Puresan, USC each keep their own positioning. Forced consolidation kills the local equity that took decades to build.
Facilities · Questions
Facilities management questions, answered.
The questions facilities management operators ask most. The full set lives on the FAQ page.
Do you work with multi-location businesses?
Yes, we specialize in multi-location SEO including individual Google Business Profiles for each location, location-specific content strategies, centralized review management, and consolidated reporting across all locations.
How do you track leads and conversions?
We implement comprehensive tracking systems including Google Tag Manager, CRM attribution, call tracking, and form monitoring. All data flows into real-time dashboards showing exactly where leads originate and what drives conversions.
Can you set up and manage our CRM system?
Yes. We specialize in CRM setup, optimization, and automation for platforms like HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Salesforce. We design your pipeline, create workflows, integrate lead forms, and build automated follow-ups.
Can you help us rank higher in Google search results?
Yes. Our SEO services combine technical optimization, keyword research, content creation, and local SEO tactics to improve rankings and drive qualified traffic. We track everything so you can see measurable ROI.
How do you report on ongoing work?
Weekly checklists and real-time updates as things change, so you're never surprised by what we're working on. Monthly reports layer on the numbers: what moved, what didn't, what we're doing next. Quarterly strategy reviews go deep on what's working, what isn't, and what to shift. Dashboards exist; they're not the report.
What makes Digital1010 different from other agencies?
Three things. First, we built the tools ourselves (Orbit, Otto, Mission Control) and they run in production today. Second, no junior handoff: the person who scopes the work delivers the work. Third, we sell outcomes on fixed scope, or priced-against-opportunity retainers, not billable hours. The agency-standard hourly model is how mediocre work gets protected.
Not what you came for?
