Ep.139 - Most remodeling websites look good. Too many still act like brochures. In this episode of Endless Customers, Alex Winter sits down with Shane Rogers, Content Manager at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, to break down what happened when their team stopped relying on outside partners and started building a marketing system they actually own.

Shane shares the real story behind a full website migration, the internal hurdles that came with more transparency, and how their content shifted from “what we want to say” to “what homeowners need to know.” The result was not just better content. It was better outcomes, including more revenue and more in home appointments with fewer total leads.

Highlights include:

How ZINTEX moved away from agency dependence

Why ownership and clear tracking changed everything

What it took to rebuild their website twice

How pilot groups helped get sales buy in

The metric that proved quality beats volume

In this episode of Endless Customers, Alex Winter sits down with Nick Burrage, Endless Customers Certified Coach and founder of The Ambitions Agency, to break down what happens when you answer buyer questions before the first sales call.
