How it works

How the North Star Framework works

The method behind every campaign we run: be seen first, filter out the time-wasters, and let the AI book the calls. It runs on pay per lead: a fixed price agreed before anything goes live, and you only pay for the qualified enquiries it delivers. Live in 7 days. First leads typically within 72 hours.

01The framework

Three pillars, eight steps, one owned asset

One system carries a homeowner from seeing your ad to signing your quote. You watch every step happen in a dashboard: every lead's name, number and details. The leads are yours to keep, forever.

Be seen first

Homeowners planning an extension see you before they ever reach a shared quote list.

  1. 01

    Your ad reaches the right homeowner

    Lewis writes and runs a Meta campaign aimed at homeowners actively planning an extension inside your exclusive 30-mile radius. Not random traffic: people already pricing up a project.

  2. 02

    They enquire

    The homeowner clicks through and submits their details.

    What you see: the enquiry lands in your dashboard the moment it comes in.

"Instead of renting leads from a platform, you build an asset that produces leads for you."

02The model

You pay per lead. Nothing else.

A fixed price per lead is agreed with you before anything goes live. No retainers, no long onboarding fees, no contracts. You pay for performance, not promises, and you can pause or cancel whenever you like.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the North Star Framework?+

The North Star Framework is Lewis Ford's three-pillar system for extension builders: Meta ads that reach homeowners before they hit a shared quote list (be seen first), qualification questions and a dashboard that track every lead (filter, don't chase), and an AI booking agent that texts every enquiry the moment it lands and books the serious ones into phone calls (AI books the call). Instead of renting leads from a platform, you build an asset that produces leads for you.

How does pay per lead work for builders?+

You agree a fixed price per lead with us before anything goes live. We build and run the ads, the qualification and the AI booking, and you pay for the qualified enquiries the system delivers. You pay for performance, not promises. There are no contracts, and you can pause or cancel whenever you like.

How do you stop me wasting time on tyre kickers?+

Every advert includes a qualification step built around criteria you set yourself, such as timeframe, budget or job type. Anyone who doesn’t match your standard gets filtered out automatically before they ever reach you, so you only see prospects who are actually worth your time.

How quickly will I start seeing leads?+

We typically see your first lead come within 72 hours of your campaign launch.

What if I invest in this and don't get any jobs?+

If you aren't happy with our services, tell us in writing and we pause our payments until you are happy again. We're here for the long term, not a quick payday.
