Context

The framework: identify the job (what's being hired), the trigger (what made the customer notice), the alternatives (what else they considered), and the obstacles (what made existing solutions fail).

For home services (cleaning, repair, beauty) specifically, JTBD is influenced most by these 4 primary channels — each shifts the metric in a different way: SEO Services (compounding organic growth — pillar/cluster, programmatic, and ai-engine-cited.); Google Ads (search, shopping, youtube, and performance max — engineered for indian unit econ); Meta Ads (facebook + instagram + whatsapp — built for d2c, real-estate, and lead-gen.); WhatsApp Marketing (click-to-whatsapp + automation — the channel indian buyers actually answer.).
