HOW WE COMPARE
How to choose a home-services marketing partner
Most agencies look identical on the sales call. The differences show up in the contract, the invoice, and what happens the day you try to leave. Here's how to compare, including how we stack up.
WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
Five questions separate the good partners from the expensive ones
After a decade serving home service companies (and years running a lawn care company before that), we've seen where marketing relationships go wrong. It's almost never the logo design. It's these five things: Can you see the pricing before the sales call? Can you leave without losing your website and phone numbers? Does the agency actually know your trade? Does their platform connect to the software that runs your business? And does that platform do anything (send quotes, chase follow-ups, mail your neighbors) or does it just draw charts about what already happened?
THE DETAILED BREAKDOWNS
Head-to-head comparisons
Each page acknowledges what the other option does well, then shows exactly where the fit diverges, so you can make the call in one read.
M180 vs. Scorpion
The biggest name in home-services marketing vs. the platform built for home service companies. Pricing, contracts, and who each is really for.
M180 vs. RYNO
A respected HVAC/plumbing SEO shop vs. a platform that acts. Read-only reporting vs. quotes that send themselves.
M180 vs. Traditional Agencies
Local generalists and WordPress freelancers can be cheaper. Here's when that's fine, and when it quietly caps your growth.
THE HONEST GUIDE
Ten questions to ask any agency, including us
Print this. Take it into every sales call. A good partner answers all ten without flinching; a bad one changes the subject on the first three.
✓ What exactly happens to my website if I cancel?
✓ Do I keep my tracking phone numbers, the ones on my trucks and postcards?
✓ Where is your pricing published?
✓ What's the contract term, and what does cancellation take?
✓ Does your platform do anything, or does it just report?
✓ Who, by name, will work my account, and how often do those people change?
✓ How many clients do you serve in my exact trade?
✓ Do you integrate with my field software: Jobber, Service Autopilot, RealGreen, Sweep&Go?
✓ Can I get a full export of my data, leads, and content whenever I ask?
✓ How do you handle bad LSA leads? Do you dispute them and feed ratings back to Google?
