About this listen

Hosted by Steve Broxterman and John Bujak of America's Home Experts, this podcast is for contractors, tradespeople, and home service pros who’d rather be swinging a hammer than decoding marketing jargon. We break down real strategies — websites, videos, social media, and more — with just the right amount of sarcasm, sawdust, and smart advice. No fluff. No gurus. Just the stuff that actually works (and maybe a few dad jokes).

  • 012 – The 3 Types of Content That Actually Make the Phone Ring
    Jan 5 2026

    Most contractors are posting on social media — but not seeing real leads.

    In this episode of the Mongoose Blue Podcast, John and Steve explain the three types of marketing content that actually convert viewers into phone calls for blue-collar and home service businesses.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why posting more content doesn’t automatically mean more leads

    • The difference between content that looks busy vs. content that builds trust

    • How FAQ videos turn Google searches into booked jobs

    • Why behind-the-scenes videos increase credibility and authority

    • How video testimonials outperform written reviews

    • A simple, realistic content strategy contractors can stick to

    We share real examples from working with contractors in deck building, insulation, HVAC, windows, and home improvement, including how FAQ videos helped businesses rank in the top local Google results in under 30 days.

    🎯 Contractor Challenge: Create one FAQ video, one behind-the-scenes clip, and one customer testimonial this month. Tag us or DM it — we’d love to see it and celebrate the win.

    If you want help turning content into a system that drives consistent leads, this is exactly what we do.
