Why work with MAJ
What changes when MAJ runs your Lebanon pool marketing
Your problem
Replacement buyers caught off guard
A Lebanon homeowner tearing out a tired pool may not expect a new zoning permit or a fence permit, and learning about them after the quote makes your company look unprepared. Quotes also sit for weeks with no follow-up.
What we build
Two offers, explained and followed up
Separate new pool and replacement pages that explain Lebanon's permits, backed by before and after video and tracked ads, with every quote kept in a CRM with check-ins until the buyer decides.
Copy that matches the city's own pages
Permit, fence and historic district lines come from Planning & Development's published pages.
Warren County is part of our market
Our Google Business Profile is in Loveland, inside the same Greater Cincinnati market.

Why Lebanon pool leads go sideways
- 01
Replacement treated like a repair
A homeowner tearing out an old pool may not expect a new zoning permit. If your offer never mentions it, the surprise lands on you.
- 02
Fence permits forgotten
Lebanon requires a fence permit for all residential fences. A pool package with a new fence should list that permit in the timeline.
- 03
Patio confusion
At-grade poured concrete and brick paver patios do not need a zoning permit in Lebanon, but replacing a deck does. Getting that distinction right in the consult makes your team sound sure of itself.

Every lead gets a card. Every card keeps moving. Every call, form and text becomes a lead card. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in someone's head. Cards move across clear stages. New, Contacted, Estimate booked, Estimate sent, then Won or Lost. Follow-ups go out on day 1, 3 and 7. Automatic texts and emails, so quotes do not go cold. Day 1, check-in text sent. Day 3, follow-up email sent. Day 7, last check-in text sent. Customer replied. Every quote ends in Won or Lost. Won jobs move to the schedule. Lost ones get a reason, so you can learn from them. Won: added to the schedule. Lost reason: went with another quote. The whole pipeline on one screen. See what is new, what is booked and what is waiting, at a glance.

Catching a Lebanon replacement lead in the first minutes
A homeowner ready to replace a tired pool may call several builders in one afternoon. This video shows the instant reply, missed-call text back and booking link that put you in a strong position to be the builder they talk to first.
- Reply goes out the moment a request arrives
- Missed calls get a text back
- Booking link sent with the first reply
- Request tagged as replacement or new build
Read the transcript
The first business to answer usually gets the job. A homeowner calls at a busy moment. Your team is on a job, and the call goes unanswered. Phone screen: Missed call, 2:14 PM. An automatic text goes back in seconds. Not a voicemail greeting. A friendly text from your business. Text sent automatically: Sorry we missed you! What can we help with? The homeowner replies and gets a booking link. They pick a time that works for them, right from the text. Homeowner: Hi, I need an estimate. Is this week possible? Business: Yes! Pick any open time here. Link: Book a time. Estimate booked: Thursday, 10:00 AM. The estimate lands on your calendar. Time, address and job details are filled in automatically. Calendar, Thursday: New estimate at 10:00 AM. Your team gets notified. The right people see the new booking, with everything they need. Notifications to the office and the estimator: New estimate booked, Thursday 10:00 AM, details attached. Without it, the call waits in voicemail. By the time someone calls back, the homeowner may have booked someone else. Voicemail: next morning callback. Text back: estimate booked the same afternoon. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Lebanon pool builder marketing FAQ
Does replacing a pool in Lebanon, Ohio need a permit?
Yes, a new zoning permit. The City of Lebanon's Planning & Development FAQ says replacing an existing fence, shed, deck or pool needs a new zoning permit, while at-grade poured concrete or brick paver patios do not.
Do all fences in Lebanon need a permit?
Yes. The City of Lebanon requires a fence permit for all residential fences, so any pool project with a new fence should include that permit in the plan and in the timeline buyers see.
What kind of video sells an in-ground pool?
Footage of finished backyards, the build stages and the people who will be in the yard. A pool is bought before it exists, so buyers need to see finished work and trust the crew. We film it in house, and one shoot day becomes ads, site video and a month of posts.
How do you track which ads produce pool consults?
Every call and form enters the CRM with its source attached, then moves through stages: consult booked, design presented, signed or lost. Signed contracts are connected where your sales records allow, and a monthly report shows cost per booked consult by channel.
What happens to pool leads who are not ready to build this year?
They go into a follow-up sequence instead of a spreadsheet: a design guide, project videos, reminders and a personal check-in from your team. A lead who goes quiet in October can still book a consult in January if someone keeps in touch.
