A Simple 3-Step Plan for Home Service Owners

HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical and other home service companies need a clear plan and a team that can run it. Here's how it works.

Step 1

Get an Audit

Start with Chris's $497 home service marketing audit: your website, Google Maps, reviews, ads and follow-up — what's booking jobs, what's wasting money and what to fix first.

Step 2

Build Your Insourced Program

Turn the audit into a plan. Through the Insourced Marketing Blueprint™, Chris trains your office staff and managers to run your website, Google Maps, reviews, AI search and ads in-house.

Step 3

Scale Profitably

Keep the trucks busy year-round. With your team running the plan, every marketing dollar is tied to calls and booked jobs — and you own the accounts and the decisions.

For home service owners, office staff and crews

You don't need another sales pitch. You need someone in your corner.

Chris has spent 25 years helping contractors and home service companies cut through the noise — and he owns agencies himself. He shows you what's working, where money is leaking, and teaches your team to run it.

Stop wasting money

Find out what's working, what isn't and where your marketing dollars are leaking — so every dollar goes where leads actually come from.

Sound familiar?

These are the problems home service owners bring to Chris every week.

  • The phone isn't ringing like it should

    Some weeks the crew is slammed, others are dead quiet. You can't plan, hire or grow when leads feel like luck.

  • You have no idea what's working

    Money goes out every month, but nobody can show which calls and booked jobs came from which marketing.

  • Paying for leads that don't book

    Shared leads, tire-kickers and price shoppers eat your budget while your techs sit idle.

  • Competitors outrank you on Google Maps

    Newer shops with worse work show up first in the map pack and get the calls that should be yours.

  • Your website doesn't turn visits into calls

    People land on your site, can't find what they need or who to call, and leave for the next contractor.

  • Reviews are slow and inconsistent

    Happy customers rarely leave reviews, and one bad one sits at the top for months.

  • You're constantly being sold to

    Every day another call, email or DM promises page one and more leads. It's hard to know who to trust.

  • Missed calls and slow follow-up

    Calls go to voicemail after hours and estimates never get followed up, so booked jobs slip away.

Not sure which path is right?

You Don't Need Another Package. You Need the Right Prescription.

Start with a $497 Marketing Audit.

Before recommending training, consulting or Done With You work, Chris looks at what's actually happening inside your marketing.

What's working?

What is actually generating leads, calls, customers and revenue right now.

What's broken?

Where opportunities are leaking between the click and the booked job.

What's being wasted?

Where money and effort are going out without enough coming back.

What should you own?

Which marketing capabilities belong inside your company.

What should you outsource?

Where specialized execution genuinely makes more sense.

What should you do next?

Use your roadmap yourself with DIY guidance, train your employee or team, or delegate the execution to Chris's team while you retain ownership.

We diagnose first. Then we recommend the right path.
