Where to find homeowners in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Homeowners

Homeowners want to enhance home security and energy efficiency. However, they can't get it because they cannot monitor their home remotely and adjust energy usage accordingly.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. Smart Home Sentinel.

Remote Monitoring and Home Automation : Smart Home Sentinel is a comprehensive home security and energy management system that allows homeowners to monitor their home remotely and adjust energy usage, enhancing home security and energy efficiency. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Ring, or Nest!

How to find Homeowners

You can get insights about the pain points of homeowners if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where homeowners hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of homeowners, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Remote Monitoring and Home Automation.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!

Step 1 to find homeowners

This is what will happen

An AI will brainstorm 5 good search keyword phrases for you to find homeowners and their pain points in online forums on the internet.
With one click, you can search for each keyword phrase right away.
CustomerPing will present the search results to you.

You describe what makes a post relevant to your business.
CustomerPing will “ping” you 24h a day, whenever homeowners complain about their pet peeve: They cannot monitor their home remotely and adjust energy usage accordingly.
Good for you because this is something that you can solve with remote Monitoring and Home Automation, right?
