Interview With Legacy Junk Removal: Why Giving It More Time Paid Off
One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is watching business owners gain momentum—especially after experiencing frustration, slow months, or failed marketing efforts. Recently, we had the chance to sit down with Matt from Legacy Junk Removal, based in North Texas, to talk about his journey, the challenges he faced early on, and what changed after giving his marketing strategy more time and support.
Meet Legacy Junk Removal
Legacy Junk Removal is located in Flower Mound, Texas, just north of the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The business is a family operation run by Matt and his son—hence the name Legacy. From the beginning, Matt’s goal was to build something sustainable that his son could grow into and eventually take over.
Matt originally entered the junk removal industry after working in residential remodeling. When work slowed down, his dump trailer—his most expensive tool—was sitting idle. Instead of letting it collect dust, he decided to make it work for him.
After placing a simple Craigslist ad and learning the ropes through YouTube, Matt transitioned into junk removal full-time in early 2021. Today, Legacy Junk Removal focuses on junk removal and light demolition services.
Early Marketing Struggles
Before working with Top Dog Digital, Matt hired another company to run Google Ads for his business. The campaign ran from April through early fall, and while it produced a few jobs—including one large cleanout—the results were inconsistent.
Calls were sporadic. Online form submissions were few and far between. After landing one big job, Matt held on, hoping things had finally clicked. Unfortunately, the leads dried up, and he found himself paying for marketing that wasn’t producing reliable results.
That’s when he decided to make a change.
Finding Top Dog Digital
Matt had seen Blake’s content on YouTube before, but hadn’t paid close attention until he started actively searching for a new solution. After watching multiple videos and testimonials, he reached out to Top Dog Digital.
Even while on vacation, Blake made time to speak with Matt and walk him through the process. That personal attention stood out. Within two weeks of signing up, the Google Ads campaign was live—and the phone started ringing immediately.
Immediate and Consistent Results
From the very first day the campaign launched, Matt began receiving calls. Since then, there hasn’t been a single day without at least one inbound call, and most days result in booked jobs—even during the slow season.
Beyond Google Ads, Matt also began seeing results from the realtor and property manager outreach system, which includes automated texts and emails. One of those connections led to a major house cleanout worth nearly $5,000.
For Matt, the difference wasn’t just leads—it was consistency.
Support That Made the Difference
One of the biggest challenges Matt faced was technology. Like many business owners, he doesn’t consider himself tech-savvy. Learning how to navigate a CRM, manage leads, and respond quickly felt overwhelming at first.
What made the difference was support.
When Matt missed messages while out on jobs, the team followed up. When he had questions, they were answered. When systems needed explaining, the team walked him through them step by step.
That level of service stood in stark contrast to his previous experience, where he never even spoke to the agency owner.
Why Top Dog Digital Stood Out
According to Matt, several things made Top Dog different:
- Industry focus: Top Dog works exclusively with junk removal companies.
- Proven results: Real testimonials from real business owners.
- Personal involvement: Direct access to leadership and hands-on support.
- Multiple lead systems: Google Ads, realtor outreach, follow-ups, and CRM support.
- True partnership: A feeling that someone had his back.
In Matt’s words, the one word he would use to describe Top Dog Digital is “partner.”
- Looking Ahead
Even during the slow season, Legacy Junk Removal is seeing steady lead flow. With peak season approaching, Matt is preparing his systems, equipment, and schedule for growth.
What once felt uncertain now feels exciting—though a little intimidating in a good way.
Why Top Dog Digital Stood Out
For anyone hesitant about working with a marketing agency, Matt’s advice is simple:
- If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different.
- Watch the testimonials.
- Talk to the team.
- Give it a real chance.
After wasting thousands of dollars with little return in the past, Matt has already earned back his investment—and more—since making the switch.
