THE LOCAL MARKET

What winning homeowners in Kern County takes.

Bakersfield first, then the corridors

Bakersfield is the county seat and the biggest market at the south end of the valley. Most Kern campaigns start there, then reach out along Hwy 99 and Hwy 58 only as far as your crews will travel. We don’t spend a dollar on roads you won’t drive.

Oil and ag paychecks

Oil and agriculture carry the county’s economy, and both run on long shifts and early starts. Booking pages offer the slots you approve outside regular hours, and reminders go out by text so a long shift doesn’t mean a missed estimate.

Solar sells differently since 2023

Net Billing (NEM 3.0) cut export credits in April 2023, so selling panels on old payback numbers doesn’t hold up. With heat this strong, solar still sells here, but the pitch leads with batteries and backup, and the calculator reflects that.

North Kern is its own market

Delano and the farm towns up 99 don’t think of themselves as Bakersfield. If you work that end of the county, it gets its own small ad set and footage from a job up there.

Shoots booked around the trip

Kern is outside Fresno County, so filming is scheduled per project and travel is quoted before you agree. We line up several jobs on one trip, from Bakersfield up to Delano if you work both.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Do you work with Kern County contractors even though you’re in Fresno?

Yes. The ads, pages, follow-up, and reporting run the same wherever you are. Filming is the only part that needs a trip, and those shoots are scheduled per project with travel quoted ahead of time.

Do you work with restoration companies here?

Yes, on water, fire, and mold restoration jobs where insurance is usually involved. The page asks what happened, when, and whether a claim is open, so your team knows what it’s walking into before calling back.

Should my ads cover Bakersfield and Delano together?

Usually not. Bakersfield is big enough to need its own areas, and Delano reads as its own town. If you work both, we run them as separate ad sets and let the signed jobs decide where the money goes.

Will you guarantee a number of jobs in Kern County?

No. Results depend on your offer, budget, season, capacity, and how you close. We show you what we build, track each lead through to the signed job, and report the numbers we can verify.
