The full answer
A fence looks simple, so buyers assume quotes should match, then see wide gaps and do not know why. Howard Kan acts as a fractional CMO for fence contractors in DFW, building the plan that makes quotes understandable and calls better qualified.
What is the marketing problem in fencing?
The gaps between fence quotes often come from material, height, post type, gates, and what is included. A contractor who explains those differences wins the buyer who is tired of guessing.
That takes answers to the questions people search and a way to let them pick options. It also takes someone owning the plan so it actually gets published.
What would a fractional CMO look at first in fencing?
- Price-driver content. Material (pine, cedar, metal, or masonry), height and style, wood or steel posts, gates, staining or sealing, removal of an old fence, slope and access.
- Permit and rule answers. The Town of Prosper requires a fence permit unless replacing under 16 linear feet with like materials; McKinney requires pool barrier fences at least four feet tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. Others vary, so buyers should check the city.
- Qualifying calls. A simple option picker or intake questions filter tire-kickers.
- Local proof. Finished fences in named neighborhoods.
- Quote follow-up. Many quotes die with no second contact.
What do fencing buyers ask before they call?
Buyers ask how much a fence costs, whether they need a permit, what fence a pool needs, whether the HOA allows a style, and how long it takes.
The detail is on the trade page: fencing contractor marketing.
What would the first 90 days focus on for fencing contractors?
Month one reviews why quotes are lost. Month two writes the roadmap around price-driver content, permit and pool-barrier answers, and a simple option picker. Month three ships them with a quote follow-up routine and the first report.
How does the engagement work for a fencing business?
The engagement is the same everywhere: a free 20-minute strategy call, a written 90-day plan, then weekly execution and monthly reporting. Advisor ($4,999 a month) is senior direction for the team you already have; Embedded ($9,999 a month) adds live working sessions four times a week, continuous hands-on improvements, and the Ascend program run for you. Both have a 90-day initial term, you keep everything we build, and Howard Kan takes three clients at a time. Details are on the fractional CMO page.

Mistakes to avoid in fencing marketing
- Publishing a universal price table that is wrong for most lots.
- Leaving permit and pool-barrier questions unanswered.
- Treating every inquiry the same instead of qualifying them.
Common questions
Is a fractional CMO a fit for a fencing business?
It fits established fencing businesses that already sell, have a team or a few vendors, and need someone to set direction. A business that has not made its first sales is better off focusing on sales first.
How is WRD Media priced?
WRD Media works as a fractional CMO. Advisor is $4,999 a month and Embedded is $9,999 a month, with a 90-day initial term and month to month after that. Ascend, Envision, and Architect are included in the engagement and are not sold separately.
Should a fence company publish prices?
Explain what drives price and point to a written quote. Prices vary by lot and change, so a universal table tends to mislead.
Do you guarantee rankings or leads?
No. Rankings and AI recommendations change often and build over time. We commit to documented work each month and an honest report.
Where do the 3D tools fit?
Envision, our 3D sales tool, is built inside the Embedded level when your 90-day roadmap calls for it. It is not sold separately.
