Most agencies show impressions. We show revenue.
Below are documented results from businesses that partnered with YoungCow Media to improve:
Booked jobs
Cost per booked job
Return on ad spend
Enrollment growth
Revenue attribution
One of these results was strong enough to be featured directly by Yelp in their official Success Stories.
The common thread across all three? We measure booked revenue, not just leads.
Case Study 1
Cars Best Care: Featured by Yelp for Exceptional ROI Performance
Industry: Automotive Repair
Market: Fort Worth, Texas
Platform: Yelp
Timeline: Immediate lift sustained across 3+ months
The Situation
Cars Best Care was advertising on Yelp but lacked clarity around:
True revenue attribution
Cost per booked job
Return on ad spend
They needed performance, not just activity.
The Strategic Shift
YoungCow Media:
Rebuilt targeting around high intent service categories
Optimized profile positioning and conversion structure
Implemented structured attribution tracking
Shifted KPI focus from leads to booked revenue
Refined demand capture without increasing ad spend
The shift was strategic, not budget-based.
The Results
50x+ return on ad spend during peak months
Record breaking performance in first month
Sustained lift across the following three months
Clear, measurable revenue attribution from Yelp
Yelp publicly recognized the performance and published the success story.
This wasn’t incremental improvement.
It was measurable, documented ROI.
What This Proves
When Yelp Ads are structured around:
High-intent demand
Profile optimization
Revenue attribution
Cost per booked job
The platform can produce outsized returns.
Yelp’s case study can be viewed here: How Cars Best Care made $115k in three months with Yelp Advertising Partner YoungCow Media
Case Study 2
Top Plumber in Phoenix: Turning Yelp Into a $100K+ Monthly Revenue Channel
Industry: Home Services (Plumbing)
Market: Phoenix, Arizona
Platform: Yelp & Google Advertising
Timeline: Immediate lift tracked across 3 months
The Situation
This was the top reviewed plumber in Phoenix.
Multiple trucks. Strong review profile. Millions in annual revenue.
Their account was previously managed by a two-time Yelp Agency Partner of the Year, yet performance was underwhelming.
Under Previous Management
43–70 booked jobs per month
$267–$502 cost per booked job
~$24K–$61K monthly Yelp revenue
1.3×–3.3× ROAS
Marketing cost as high as 79% of revenue
The platform wasn’t broken.
The measurement system was.
The Strategic Shift
YoungCow Media:
Refined high intent job targeting
Reallocated budget by demand windows
Tightened operational booking workflow
Built real time feedback loops
Replaced lead-based reporting with booked revenue metrics
No meaningful increase in ad spend.
The Results
107–132 booked jobs per month
$154–$188 cost per booked job
$100K–$120K+ monthly Yelp revenue
5×–6.5× ROAS
Marketing cost reduced to 18–20% of revenue
Booked jobs more than doubled.
Cost per booked job was cut nearly in half.
Yelp became a six-figure monthly revenue channel.
What This Proves
Even well positioned, well managed businesses leave revenue on the table when they optimize for leads instead of booked jobs.
Infrastructure and operational alignment unlock scale.
Case Study 3
Child Development Center Franchise Location in Scottsdale: From 2 Tours Per Week to Record Enrollment
Industry: Early Childhood Education (Franchise Location)
Market: Scottsdale, Arizona
Platforms: Yelp + Meta
Timeline: Immediate lift in first month
The Situation
The location had:
55 open spots
25 students graduating soon
Only 2 tours per week
Multiple prior agency attempts with minimal measurable results
Enrollment decline was imminent.
The Strategic Shift
YoungCow Media:
Rebuilt campaigns in 48 hours
Implemented aggressive Yelp + Meta targeting
Applied geo-focused parent targeting
Optimized campaigns for booked tours
Integrated enhanced attribution tracking
The goal was simple: More scheduled tours.
The Results
Tours increased from 2 to 7 per week (3× increase)
65,000+ parents reached within 5 miles
10 new enrollments in the first month
Cost per lead dropped from ~$100 to pacing near ~$60
June described by the owner as “Our Best Month Ever.”
Momentum continued beyond month one.
What This Proves
Franchise marketing requires:
Speed
Local precision
Platform integration
Clear enrollment level KPIs
When structured properly, demand can scale immediately.
The Unified Framework Behind Every Case
Different industries. Different markets. Different platforms.
Same framework:
Refine targeting around high intent demand
Strengthen conversion environment
Implement infrastructure
Track booked revenue
Optimize cost per booked job
Align marketing with operations
This is how channels turn into revenue engines.
What We Measure Across Every Client
We consistently track:
Booked jobs per month
Cost per booked job
Revenue per platform
Return on ad spend
Marketing cost as percentage of revenue
Close rate by channel
Performance by city
Clicks and impressions are secondary. Revenue is primary.
