Where to start
Ask for traffic data and rates on two boards along routes in your main service area.
An example
A roofer ran a digital board after a storm season. Callers mentioned seeing the name "everywhere" between the board and the trucks.
Common mistakes
Too much text, wrong location and expecting instant calls.
Know your numbers
Track calls to the billboard's dedicated number and ask every new customer where they heard about you. Compare months with and without the board.
A message that works
Example board copy: "Roof leaking? Call Apex. 555-ROOF". Short, readable at highway speed and easy to remember.
