Where they started
When Maria called, she had already paid for marketing twice: once in budget, once in trust.
- Over $100,000 spent with nothing to show for it.
- Ads running far outside the area her team installs in.
- No tracking. Nobody could say what worked, because nothing was measured.
- Every click dumped on the homepage, where it died.
- She was ready to give up on digital marketing entirely.

What should you compare before applying a case result?
Start with the named client’s market, starting point, channel mix, and sales process. Then compare the cost and quality of your own leads, the budget you can support, and the role each channel plays before treating any outcome as relevant to your business. Check whether the client had the same buyer type, service area, sales capacity, and measurement setup as you. Also separate a result created by a long-running program from one created during a launch or recovery. Use our cabinet lead cost guide, marketing budget guide, and Google Ads vs. SEO guide to frame that comparison for your business.
People also ask
What results did GBC Kitchen & Bath see with CabinetBoost?
$100K and 9+ months. GBC Kitchen & Bath recovered from a $100K marketing loss and now has 9+ months of steady leads. After a previous agency delivered nothing measurable, the campaigns were rebuilt from zero and turned profitable by month three. By month six lead volume had doubled at the same efficiency, and the flow has held steady since.
How long did it take GBC Kitchen & Bath to become profitable?
3 months. The campaigns were rebuilt from zero in month one with tracking turned on, produced their first steady leads in month two, and turned profitable in month three — the first time the channel had ever paid off. By month nine and beyond, GBC’s lead flow was steady and predictable.
What did GBC Kitchen & Bath change to fix its marketing?
Four changes. Ads were locked to the neighborhoods GBC actually installs in, so no budget went to clicks three towns over. Every call, form and showroom visit was tracked back to the ad that drove it. Each job type got its own landing page that asks for the quote, and budget shifted toward the campaigns that booked work.
Why did GBC Kitchen & Bath’s previous agency fail?
It spent over $100,000 with nothing measurable to show. Ads ran far outside the area GBC’s team installs in, there was no tracking so nobody could say what worked, and every click was dumped on the homepage where it died. By the time she called, the owner was ready to give up on digital marketing entirely.
Is a recovery like GBC Kitchen & Bath’s typical for a cabinet business?
No. This case shows one K&B showroom’s Google Ads rescue, not a guarantee. GBC’s result — profitable by month three and holding 9+ months — came from a specific rebuild: local-only targeting, full call and form tracking, a landing page per job type, and budget that follows booked work. The same measurable approach is what CabinetBoost starts every owner with.
Can a showroom judge a Google Ads recovery by lead volume alone?
No. A recovery should be judged against the work the showroom can actually book, not only a lead count. GBC Kitchen and Bath’s case centers on local targeting, call and form tracking, landing pages, and profitable work. Those checks help a showroom distinguish useful demand from activity that cannot be measured.
