The estimate that never gets a reply
You quote a job, the customer goes quiet, and nobody follows up because there's no system for it — just a memory that fades in a week.

The problems we see most. None of them are marketing problems in the way agencies usually mean it.
You quote a job, the customer goes quiet, and nobody follows up because there's no system for it — just a memory that fades in a week.
A lead calls while you're on a roof or with a patient. By the time you call back, they've already booked with whoever answered first.
Someone nearby searches for exactly what you do, and three competitors show up before you do — in the map pack and in AI search results.
Past customers who'd rebook or refer, sitting in a spreadsheet or CRM that hasn't had an email or text sent from it in a long time.
A typical build
7 of twenty-three.
Drawn from the five pillars. The blueprint confirms it.
Teleos is based in Glen Arm, Maryland, and works with businesses across Greater Baltimore and central Maryland. When you book a call, you're talking to the people who'd actually scope your plan — not a rep reading a script before handing you to someone else.
A consultant who knows the difference between how a roofer in Towson gets found and how a dental practice in Bel Air gets found isn't guessing at your market. They're working in it.
If you call, here's what happens: thirty minutes on the phone, five questions about how your business actually gets work now, and a fixed-scope plan with a price on it. Not a range, not a follow-up meeting to plan the follow-up meeting.
There are two starting points: the Build, and Managed Growth — paid search and Local Services Ads management, social/email/SMS, review generation, reporting, running month-to-month after the first 90 days. Most businesses start with the Build and add Managed Growth once it's live. Plenty do just one. Both are real options.
Unsold estimates that never get a second touch. Calls that ring through to voicemail while you're mid-job. Map pack rankings that put a competitor above you. Increasingly, AI search results that answer the customer's question before they ever reach your site.
These are the kinds of leaks the blueprint call is built to find. There are twenty-three services across four pillars — Get Found, Look Like the Obvious Choice, Win the Job, Keep Them Coming Back. Most businesses need about three of them to start. The call decides which three, based on where your business is actually leaking work.
Home services — roofing, HVAC, electrical, painting. Clinics, studios, and professional practices. If you're a business where someone nearby searches for what you do, compares a few options, and either books or doesn't — this is built for that decision.
No deck. No sequence of meetings before the meeting. Thirty minutes with the person who'd build the plan, five questions about how work reaches you now, and a fixed-scope plan with a price attached — or, if it isn't worth doing yet, that answer instead.
The blueprint locks scope, price and dates before you commit to the build. Everything after that is execution.
Thirty minutes. We find where the work is leaking — usually slow follow-up, enquiries nobody answered, or a dead database. If we can’t help, we say so on the call.
30 minutesA fixed-scope plan: which pillars you need, what gets built, what gets managed, what it costs and when it lands. No surprises after this point.
3–5 daysBrand, site, photography, automations and integrations. You see it working before you sign off, and it goes in your name from day one.
4–8 weeksAccounts, documentation and a session with your team. Everything you paid for is yours. We are not a dependency.
1 weekOngoing SEO, ads, social, email and reporting — or we hand you the keys and you run it in-house. Both are real options.
Month to monthMost businesses start with the build and add the monthly once it’s live. You can also do either on its own — the assets are yours whichever way you go.
one-time — and every asset is yours
monthly — month to month after 90 days
Doing fewer than about twenty leads a month? This won’t pay for itself yet, and we’ll tell you that on the call rather than after the invoice.
Thirty minutes, no deck. We’ll scope it live and tell you on the call if it isn’t worth doing yet.
Thirty minutes. We’ll find where the work is leaking — unsold estimates, response time, or a database nobody has touched in three years — and what it would cost to fix. If it isn’t worth it yet, we’ll tell you that instead.
No sequence, no newsletter. One reply from the person who’d build it.
