I’m a little late but wanted to add:
2nd the website. We’ve goofed with several different forms of advertising. Our google-ranked website outperforms them 10-1 or better. I still think that when the majority of people look for services like ours, they use google. I paid a local web developer $1500 (or something like that) a few years ago to build a simple website that ranked 1 or 2 on google. Very good investment for us.
I think your in the very painful process of new business I call building inertia. It’s like your pushing a rock uphill everyday and progress is slow, challenging, and imperceptible, but if you can get the rock over the top of the hill and started downhill, it takes off on its own and carries itself. If you keep doing your best work for people, treat people right, network, and the economy stays in decent health, your company will build inertia and jobs should start rolling in.
I’m sorry I don’t have better advice than just “keep on keeping on” but know that what your describing is, I think, a very normal part of starting and running a business. Good luck!!!
