Solo operator (hardscape & landscape), been at this six years now. I'm not getting the returns I used to and I'm trying to figure out if it's me or if the channels are just cooked.

Angi cost me $340 last month for those shared leads. Every single one went to at least 4 other contractors, and one of the "homeowners" was straight up renting. Google Ads in my market are running $150-180 per click and the conversion rate doesn't even come close to justifying it. Door hangers used to pull 1-2%, now its basically zero. Facebook is a non-starter cuz my customer base is mostly 55+ and they arent really on it.

Looking for what's actually working right now. Not the 2022 stuff. Appreciate any honest input.
