Train Your Team
Powered by the Insourced Marketing Blueprint™. Chris works directly with your employees to build the skills, systems, SOPs and accountability needed to take greater ownership of your marketing internally. Over 12 weeks we install a Marketing Operating System into your company — one your team understands, owns, and improves. Pick the pace: Standard ($18,000, 12 weeks), Fast Track ($30,000, 30 days), or Enterprise (from $40,000) for leadership teams and multi-location operators. Every engagement includes one location, one marketing lead, and your whole team can attend.
The status quo
If any of this hits close to home, you're not alone — and you're not stuck.
You're paying $2,000–$10,000/month and can't tell if it's working
A slick salesperson sold you — then handed you off to a junior you've never met
The person managing your account has never set foot in your industry
You're juggling 3 different vendors for SEO, ads, and social — and none of them talk to each other
You can never get anyone on the phone when you actually need help
Every call turns into an upsell for another service you didn't ask for
Your agency sends reports full of jargon designed to confuse you, not inform you
You've switched agencies 2–3 times and the results never change
Your website looks nice but doesn't generate a single lead
You know you should be doing this yourself — but no one will teach you how
You don't need another agency that treats you like a number. You need a system — and one expert who actually picks up the phone.
Three ways to install it
Same Marketing Operating System, three delivery models. All include live coaching, lifetime access, and one marketing lead trained by Chris.
The 12-week done-with-you program. Your marketing lead ships one module a week with live coaching from Chris — building a system your team owns.
Who it's for
Owners with a marketing lead (or an owner-operator) who can commit 3–5 hrs/week and want to build the system alongside the team over 12 weeks.
Key outcomes
Same curriculum. One month. For owners who can't wait 12 weeks — 8–10 live sessions scheduled in advance, plus one daily async check-in window with Chris.
Who it's for
Owners with urgent timing — a new marketing hire starting, an agency contract ending, or growth pressure this quarter.
Key outcomes
The same system, scaled for leadership teams, multiple marketers, and multiple locations — with agency and vendor oversight built in.
Who it's for
Multi-location operators and leadership teams who need KPI development, SOPs, vendor oversight, and implementation support across the whole organization.
Key outcomes
From $40,000 one-time
Monthly, with the first quarter committed.

The program
The Insourced Marketing Blueprint isn't a course you watch and forget. It's a 12-week installation of a Marketing Operating System inside your company — built for service business owners who are tired of outsourcing to people who don't understand their business.
Each week, your marketing lead works through a module, ships an asset, and meets live with Chris to make sure the system is being installed — not just studied. By week 12, you have a complete marketing machine running in-house. Running multiple locations or a leadership team? The Enterprise tier scales the same install with vendor oversight, KPI development, and implementation support.

Who you're learning from
Chris Heidlebaugh is a Digital Marketing Coach with 20+ years of experience helping home service businesses — contractors, roofers, plumbers, HVAC, electricians, landscapers, and remodelers — build marketing systems that produce consistent calls and booked jobs. The Insourced Marketing Blueprint is the distilled playbook from 500+ real client engagements.
This isn't a recorded course you watch alone. Chris shows up live every week to review your work, answer your questions, and make sure the system fits your business.
The shift
The businesses winning right now aren't outsourcing more — they're taking control.
A trained team member with the right system costs a fraction of what you're paying your agency — and they actually understand your business.
When you own the knowledge and the system, no vendor can hold your marketing hostage. Switch providers without losing the system.
Need a landing page tomorrow? Change ad copy today? Your team does it in hours, not weeks.
In-house teams know the real objections, the real questions, and the real language your customers use. Agencies guess.
Every blog post, email sequence, and ad you create stays with your business forever. You're building equity.
The system works whether you're doing $500K or $5M. Add team members as you grow — not more agencies.
The Insourced Marketing Blueprint has been battle-tested across dozens of home service industries. If you rely on local leads and repeat customers, this system was built for you.
Don't see your industry? The system works for any service business that needs local leads. Get in touch to learn more.

Good fit
Not a fit
The Insourced Marketing Blueprint paid for itself in the first month. We hired a marketing coordinator and she was up and running in two weeks using the templates and checklists. We’re generating more leads now than we ever did with our agency.

Verified Insourced Marketing Blueprint GraduateYou're not watching pre-recorded videos alone. You get a private portal, weekly worksheets, and Chris on a live call every single week making sure you're implementing — not just learning.
Each week, a new module unlocks with video training, downloadable worksheets, templates, and checklists tailored to service businesses.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to implement that week's module in your business. No guesswork — just execution.
Jump on a weekly Zoom call with Chris to review your work, get feedback, and make sure the system is dialed in for your specific business.
The Honest Question
Fair question. You can — and some owners should. Here's the honest answer about why that path keeps failing for most home service businesses.
When the agency leaves (or you fire them), logins, content, ad accounts, and tracking often go with them. You start over from zero.
A typical home service agency retainer runs $2K–$10K per month — every month — and you still don't own the system. The Insourced Marketing Blueprint starts at $18,000, plus an in-house person who works for you.
If nobody on your team understands what's working, you can't hold the agency accountable. The Insourced Marketing Blueprint trains that person — owner, office manager, or new hire.
12 weeks of live weekly Zoom calls with Chris — not a $1,500 video library you'll never finish. You get questions answered in real time, on your business, every week.
Investment
Stop depending on agencies that don't understand your business. For less than what most agencies charge in 2–3 months, you'll have a marketing system that lasts forever.

Time, fit, and outcomes. Here's exactly what the 12 weeks demand — and what you walk away with.
How much of your week this really takes — and what happens if life gets in the way.
Plan for 3–5 hours per week: one module video, one worksheet or checklist, and the live coaching call. It's built for busy owners and team members who still have a business to run — not a full-time course load.
Modules unlock weekly on purpose, so you implement before moving on — not binge-watch and forget. You keep lifetime access, so faster teams revisit early modules anytime. The 12-week pace is what produces a system that actually runs, not a binder of notes.
You won't lose anything. Every call is recorded and every module stays in your portal. Chris adjusts coaching to your pace, and most teams catch up within a week. Lifetime access means there's no penalty for taking it at your real-world speed.
Who should take it, whether you have a marketing person yet, and what 'ready' looks like.
The owner plus one implementer works best. That implementer can be a marketing coordinator, an office manager, or a tech-savvy family member. They get the hands-on training; the owner learns to read reports and hold the system accountable.
Yes — it's one of the most common paths. Many owners go through the program themselves, build the system, then hand it to a coordinator they hire during or after the 12 weeks. The Insourced Marketing Blueprint includes hiring guidance and the SOPs a new hire steps into on day one.
That's the core promise. With the templates, checklists, and 12 weeks of live coaching, a non-marketer implements confidently — SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, lead capture, email, and reporting. They won't be an expert on day one; they'll be running a proven system.
It's built for U.S. home service companies, typically $500K–$5M in revenue. The application and the $497 Marketing Audit surface a fit mismatch before any $18,000+ commitment — so if your business is outside that, you'll know before you commit.
What you'll have at the end, when leads show up, and what happens if it doesn't land.
A marketing system your team owns and runs: an optimized Google Business Profile, on-page local SEO, paid lead generation you control, a lead-capture and email follow-up flow, and the dashboards to read it all. You're not renting any of it — when you stop paying anyone, it keeps running.
Most teams see early wins in weeks 3–6 — Google Business Profile optimizations and on-page SEO are the fastest. Compounding gains arrive in weeks 6–12 as ads, content, and email sequences come online. The audit tells you which lever moves fastest for your specific business.
Every engagement starts with an application and a conversation, so Chris only accepts companies he believes the system will fit. The $497 Marketing Audit further de-risks fit before the $18,000+ program. There are no refunds once coaching begins, because the training, live feedback, and assets are delivered as we go.
You keep lifetime access to all materials, templates, and future updates. If you want continued senior guidance, graduates can apply for Coaching & Consulting — monthly advisory from $5,000/month, or a single $1,500 strategy intensive.
Every phase produces something your team keeps: a checklist, a template, a calendar, an SOP. Here's the before-and-after for the six deliverables owners point to most.

Quick questions about the audit
A 30-minute personalized video walkthrough of your website, technical SEO, Google Business Profile, local and AI search rankings, reviews, competitors, and public social presence — what's working, what's broken, where you're losing leads, and the biggest opportunities. It's all done from what's publicly visible, so you never hand over passwords or account access.
You receive your prioritized 90-day action roadmap alongside the video walkthrough in your inbox within 5 business days of acceptance and payment. It's yours to keep — implement it yourself, hand it to your team, or have us run it.
After your $497 payment clears, you're sent straight to a short intake form so Chris can tailor the audit to your real business — your website, your city, and your biggest concerns. Once you submit, Chris records your walkthrough and roadmap, and you get a confirmation email with a link to track your audit status.
That's a great outcome — and you still get the full $497 value. Chris isn't here to invent problems or manufacture urgency, so if everything's solid, the audit confirms exactly what's working and why, points out the few things worth tuning to squeeze out more, and hands you a 90-day roadmap focused on protecting and compounding what you've built rather than fixing what isn't broken. You get the same 30-minute video walkthrough, the same prioritized roadmap, and the same plain-English explanation of where you stand — just with a 'keep doing this' verdict instead of a 'fix this' list. Either way you leave with confidence and clarity, not a sales pitch.
Because a PDF can bury the real issues behind charts and jargon and leave you more confused than you started. Chris records a live walkthrough so you can see, with your own eyes, exactly what's broken, where leads are leaking, and the specific fixes that would move the needle — not a confusing report you have to decode. It's the difference between reading a diagnosis and watching the doctor walk you through it.
