Here's what contractors tell us about their experience.
Most agencies lock you into 6-12 month contracts. You won't see meaningful results for 3-6 months — and by then you've spent $15,000-$30,000.
Agencies send you leads but don't answer calls, qualify prospects, or book appointments. If you miss the call, the lead is wasted.
When a lead fills out a form at 9pm, the agency doesn't respond until Monday morning. By then, the homeowner has called 3 competitors.
Most agencies use the same playbook for every contractor. Your roofing company gets the same strategy as a plumber or landscaper.
You get monthly reports showing impressions and clicks, but no direct connection to booked jobs or revenue generated.
Even with an agency, you need a receptionist, appointment setter, and follow-up person. The agency only handles marketing — not operations.
