Their Weakness |
| Tier 1 — Heavy |
National pool franchise brands (CA Pools, Shasta), large regional builders |
$20,000–$50,000+ |
Generic messaging, not locally authentic |
| Tier 2 — Mid |
Local OC pool & landscape companies — your primary competition |
$3,000–$8,000 |
Siloed — good at ONE service, not both |
| Tier 3 — Small |
Single-service local operators |
$500–$2,000 |
Weak targeting, poor ad quality, no filtering |
