Specialized vs. Generalist

A Generalist Agency Learns Your Business on Your Dime. We Already Know It.

Marketing for the trades is its own discipline — not the playbook generalist agencies recycle from restaurants, dentists, and SaaS startups. When you hire a generalist, you become their training. When you hire a specialist, you get pre-built negative keyword lists, trade-specific landing pages, and content playbooks that already work in your industry. Same monthly investment. Radically different first 90 days.

Sound Familiar?

Why Most Contractors Hate Their Marketing.

You've been juggling three vendors who don't talk to each other. Your Google Ads agency doesn't know what your social media person is posting. Your email tool sends generic newsletters that don't match either. Nothing compounds. Nobody owns the result.

Locked into a year, ignored after month one

They get your signature on a 12-month contract, then your account goes quiet. The deal pays them whether it works or not — so the urgency disappears the day the ink dries.

Every agency serves 30 industries

Restaurants, dentists, SaaS startups — and you. The "specialist" assigned to your account learned what an LSA dispute is yesterday. You're the experiment. Your spend pays for their education.

Tracking is broken (and they know it)

80% of "bad campaigns" we audit are running on misconfigured tracking — counting page views as conversions, missing phone calls entirely, or attributing revenue to the wrong source. Nothing improves because nobody can see what's actually working.

You don't own anything you paid for

Some agencies run ads from their MCC, host your social on their accounts, and refuse to give you access. The day you leave is the day you lose every keyword, audience, and follower you paid them to build.

Generalist agencies optimize for what's easy to measure. Specialists optimize for what's profitable.

Real Client Data

What Specialized Marketing for the Trades Actually Delivers.

When every client we've ever worked with has been a home service contractor, the patterns get obvious fast. The numbers below are real — actual cost-per-qualified-lead from accounts we manage today.

When a generalist agency takes over your marketing, they're starting from zero. They don't know your trade's negative keyword patterns (the 200+ terms that need to be excluded on day one). They don't know which social content gets contractors leads vs. just likes. They don't know the email cadence that drives repeat business in home services.

So they guess. They run broad-match campaigns, post stock photos to Instagram, send generic monthly newsletters, and report on "engagement" because the leads aren't there. Three months in, you're frustrated. Six months in, you fire them. Sound familiar?

We've already learned this for the trades. Our negative keyword lists are pre-built from five years of running home services accounts. Our content playbook is tested across every home service vertical. You're not the experiment. You're the next deployment.

The numbers on the right are real cost-per-qualified-lead figures from accounts we currently manage. Compare them to industry-typical home services CPLs and you'll see exactly what specialization buys you.

Real Brands That Last Client CPLs

Cost per qualified lead — actual numbers from accounts we manage today.

Tree Service$88.25
Pool Resurfacing$112.50
Flooring$157.09
Roofing$212.52
Industry-typical home services CPL$150–$300+
The pattern: When an operator already knows your trade's negative keywords, content playbook, and customer journey — every channel performs better. These aren't just paid ad results — they're the byproduct of full-service marketing built around a single industry.

Trades We Serve

If You Run a Home Service Business, You're In.

We work exclusively with the home service trades — every campaign, landing page, and piece of content built on five years of in-the-niche data. Whatever you build, install, repair, or maintain, the playbook already exists.

What's Included

One Team. Every Channel. One Strategy.

Most contractors hire us for all of it — because when every channel is run by the same team with the same strategy, the results don't just add up. They multiply.

🎯

Google Ads Management

Full campaign build, account structure, ad copywriting, A/B testing, and weekly optimization. Built around your trade's proven account structure — not figured out on your spend.

SearchPerformance MaxCall AdsDisplay
🛡️

Local Service Ads (LSA) Management

We actively manage bidding, dispute bad leads (and get credits back), respond to reviews, and coordinate LSA + Google Ads as one strategy. Most agencies set LSA on autopilot — we don't.

Google GuaranteedLead Disputes
📱

Social Media + Retargeting

You send photos and videos from your job sites — we handle daily posting, trade-specific captions, hashtag strategy, and a content calendar built for home services. Plus retargeting ads on Facebook and Instagram that catch every visitor who clicked your Google Ad but didn't convert.

Email Marketing

Weekly campaigns to your existing customer list. Nurture sequences, promotions, and Google Review generation — turning past clients into repeat business and referrals.

Google Review Generation

A systematic approach to getting more 5-star reviews from happy customers. More reviews means more local trust, higher LSA rankings, and more inbound calls.

📍

Google Business Profile Management

Your GBP fully optimized and actively managed — posts, photos, Q&A, category optimization. The most underused free lead source in home services.

Website Design & Optimization

From conversion fixes on your existing site to a full redesign built to turn clicks into calls. We handle load speed, landing pages, mobile experience, and the trust signals home service buyers look for before they pick up the phone.

SEO & Local SEO

On-page SEO, content built around what your customers actually search, and local SEO — Google Business Profile, Maps, and citations — so you show up when buyers look. Paid ads are leads this week; SEO is the leads you stop paying for.

Lead Tracking & Analytics

Every lead tracked through WhatConverts — phone calls, form fills, chats. You know exactly which channel drove which lead. No black-box reporting. No guesswork.

Monthly Strategy Calls + Reporting

30-minute call with the operator running your account — not a junior account manager. Real strategy, real decisions, real accountability — same person every time.

The Multiplier Effect

Why All-In-One Beats Best-Of-Breed.

When every channel is managed by the same team with the same strategy, results don't just add up — they multiply. Here's how.

01

Consistent Messaging

Your Google Ads, social posts, and email all tell the same story. Customers see the same brand everywhere they look — building familiarity and trust faster.

02

Cross-Channel Retargeting

Someone clicks your Google Ad but doesn't convert? They see your Instagram reel the next day. Then an email. Then a Google Review. Multiple touchpoints close more deals.

03

Paid Now, SEO Forever

Google Ads and LSA bring leads this week. Your website and SEO build the leads you eventually stop paying for. Run together, the paid spend funds growth while the organic moat compounds underneath it — each month better than the last.

Honest Qualification

Are We the Right Fit?

We don't take every contractor who reaches out. We only work with businesses where we're confident we can deliver. Here's how to tell if that's you.

You should book a call if…

  • You run a home service business — any trade — doing $500K+ annually
  • You're tired of juggling three vendors who don't talk to each other
  • You can answer your phone (or have someone who does) when leads come in
  • You want one team running every channel with one unified strategy
  • You're ready to invest in real marketing that compounds over time
🚫

We're not the right fit for…

  • Restaurants, dentists, lawyers, SaaS, ecommerce, real estate — we don't do those
  • Anyone shopping primarily on price who wants the cheapest agency they can find
  • Businesses without a real lead-handling process or someone available to answer calls
  • Anyone who wants quick wins but won't fix broken tracking or websites first
  • Agencies looking to white-label our work — we work directly with contractors only

Who You're Actually Hiring

You're Not Just Another Account. You're Working With Me.

My father was a blue collar guy. I grew up watching him work with his hands, do what he said he'd do, and get the job done — no excuses. That's the world I come from, and it's the only world I want to work in.

So I built Brands That Last around it. I don't take restaurants, dentists, or SaaS startups — I work with contractors, the people who build, install, and fix things for a living. When you hire us, you're not getting passed to a junior account manager who's never set foot on a job site. You work with me directly — like having a marketing director who actually understands your business, with a team behind me that works the way I do.

I'm also a man of faith, and I run this business that way — a meaningful amount of what we earn goes to our church and ministry partners. I don't say that as a pitch; it's just who we are.

When we make you a guarantee, we mean it. My name is on it — and so is your ad spend.

Nick BeecherFounder, Brands That Last

"Incredibly client-focused, honest, and professional. A man of faith who understands marketing and brings a thoughtful, strategic approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone."

It all sounds great. So we put our money where our mouth is.

Most agencies guarantee nothing — or at most their own fee. We guarantee your entire investment, ad spend included. If it doesn't pay for itself in 90 days, we keep working free until it does. That's not a slogan — that's our money on the line, not just yours.

The Best Guarantee in Home Services Marketing

90 Days to Pay Back Your Full Investment
— Ad Spend Included — or We Work Free.

Here's our promise: in your first 90 days, we generate enough revenue to cover your entire investment — our management fee plus your ad spend. If we don't, we keep working for free until we do.

Most agencies won't guarantee against ad spend they don't control. We will — because we treat your budget like a marketing director would: our results are on the line every single month, just like yours. The only thing we ask? Answer your phone.

Common Questions

Things You're Probably Asking.

How is pricing determined?
Our pricing is published right on this page — three tiers: Growth at $2,497/mo, Scale at $3,497/mo, and Dominate at $4,997/mo. Each tier has different channel coverage. Ad spend is separate and you control it directly. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. Custom scopes are available for multi-location and larger operations. We'll help you figure out which tier actually fits on your free call — so you're not paying for things you don't need, and you're not stuck on a tier that won't move the needle.
What does the 90-day guarantee actually cover?
In your first 90 days we generate enough revenue to cover your full investment — that's our management fee plus your ad spend. If we don't, we keep managing your campaigns at no charge until we do. Most agencies won't guarantee against ad spend they don't control — we will, because we treat your budget like a marketing director would. The only requirements: you answer your phone, you respond to leads in a reasonable time, and you don't change the offer or website mid-pilot.
Is there really no long-term contract?
Correct — everything is month-to-month. Most agencies lock you into 12 months because that's how they get paid whether the work performs or not. We'd rather earn your business every month. If we're not producing, you can walk — and you keep everything we built. That's the same accountability a marketing director lives with, and it's exactly why we can make the guarantee we do.
Can I just hire you for one channel — like just Google Ads?
Yes. Our Tier 1 (Growth) package focuses on Google Ads and Google Reviews. Most contractors start there and add more channels as we prove out results. That said — most contractors quickly realize that single-channel marketing is harder to make work than coordinated multi-channel marketing. Channels compound when they work together.
How does social media content actually get created?
You provide the raw material — photos and videos from your job sites (your phone camera is enough). We handle everything else: daily posting, trade-specific captions, hashtag strategy, and a content calendar built around what drives leads in home services. We also run retargeting ads on Facebook and Instagram to bring back visitors who clicked your Google Ad but didn't convert — turning your existing ad spend into multiple touchpoints.
How fast do I see results?
Onboarding takes 7–14 days (tracking audit, account access, content planning, campaign build). Most clients see their first qualified leads from paid ads within 7 days of launching. Social media following grows steadily over 30–90 days. Email nurture sequences start producing repeat business within 30 days. By day 90, you'll have a clear picture of total marketing performance and a system that's ready to scale.
Do you build websites and handle SEO?
Yes. We handle website optimization and redesign plus search engine optimization — on-page SEO, content, and local SEO (Google Business Profile, Maps, and citations). Paid ads bring leads this week; a strong website and SEO build the leads you eventually stop paying for. Website optimization and local SEO foundations are included starting in Growth, ongoing content SEO comes in Scale, and full website builds plus aggressive SEO are part of Dominate.
Do I own everything — accounts, content, audiences?
Yes. Always. Your Google Ads account, LSA account, social profiles, email list, website, conversion tracking, landing pages, content library — all owned by you. We're a guest user with manager access. If you ever want to leave, you keep everything we built.
What trades do you actually work with?
Every home service trade — roofing, HVAC, pool construction/renovation, windows & doors, kitchen & bath remodeling, plumbing, painting, pest control, stucco & masonry, tree service, flooring, fencing, concrete, siding, garage doors, and more. We don't work with restaurants, dentists, lawyers, SaaS, ecommerce, or real estate — even if you ask nicely. The home services focus is the entire reason our work works.
