AI search · The new word of mouth

When Homeowners Ask AI Who to Call, You Need to Be the Answer

More homeowners now ask Google's AI for the best local company instead of scrolling the results. If you aren't in that answer, you aren't in the running.

For one family-owned, multi-location client, we launched a new perimeter protection program. Within two weeks, Google's AI was naming it the best perimeter program for homes in BC and Alberta. The same approach works for a maintenance plan, a seasonal service or a signature package in any trade.

  • Your services described the way homeowners actually ask about them
  • Your reviews and reputation visible where AI looks for trust
  • Your signature programs named, so AI has something to recommend

How a Family-Owned Company Is Competing With Corporations in Chicago

Top Tier Pest Solutions had a 5-star reputation and a five-page brochure website, in one of the toughest home service markets in the US. Here's what happened in the first few months.

Two programs · One system

Pick the Program That Fits Your Team

Every home service company we work with starts on one of two programs. No custom proposals, no menu of tactics: a clear standard, sized to how many trucks you run and how many cities you serve.

$2,500from / month + ad spend

The Foundation

Launch and fill one core market.

Best for:

  • 1 to 3 technicians
  • One core market: your city and nearby suburbs, up to 3 cities
  • Starting out, or bringing a strong word-of-mouth business online

What's included:

  • A website built to turn searches into booked jobs
  • Local search and Google Business Profile, so you own the map in your city
  • SEO and AI search visibility, so Google and its AI answers name you
  • Google Ads sized to your team
  • Call and lead tracking on a live dashboard
Apply for The Foundation
$5,000from / month + ad spend

The Expansion

Scale a full team across cities.

Best for:

  • 3+ technicians, or 2+ locations
  • Higher lead volume expectations to keep a full team's schedules booked all year
  • Multiple cities: rankings and leads across several markets, or new territories

Everything in The Foundation, plus:

  • Meta Ads and social media included as standard
  • A city-by-city growth plan, with each new city priced by its competition
  • Seasonal and brand campaigns for every market
  • A higher recommended ad budget, billed separately
Apply for The Expansion

Not sure which one? If you run 1 to 3 trucks in one market, start with The Foundation. If you run a bigger team or more than one location and need jobs in several cities, that's The Expansion. Apply for either and we'll tell you straight which one fits.

Why not build it in-house?

Several hires

A marketing manager, an ads specialist, a content creator and a web and SEO person, before a single lead comes in

Months to build

Most growing home service companies don't have the systems yet, so they build from scratch

Turnover

Every time someone leaves, the system resets and the learning walks out the door

With either program you get a CMO-led team that's already trained, already running home service programs across many markets, and already has the systems. The full team, without the hiring or the turnover.

CMO-led · Not handed to a junior

Your Program Is Led by a Home Service CMO, Not an Account Rep

Most agencies sell you a senior strategist, then hand you to a junior account manager. Bailey Soolsma sets the strategy for every program herself, with a trained team behind her doing the work.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with pest control companies?

No. Pest control is where we built and proved the system, because it's one of the most competitive home service markets there is. We also work with landscaping, painting, cleaning, exterior and other home service companies, and the programs are the same: The Foundation or The Expansion.

Which program is right for my company?

If you run 1 to 3 technicians in one core market (your city and nearby suburbs, up to 3 cities), start with The Foundation. If you run 3+ technicians or more than one location and need leads in several cities, The Expansion is built for you. Apply for either and we'll tell you which fits.

How fast will I see results?

Google Ads can bring leads within the first weeks. SEO builds over time: smaller markets and suburbs usually move first, and bigger cities build up over months as your authority grows.

Is ad spend included?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Meta, so it always works for you. We recommend a budget based on your team size and cities, and show you your cost per lead on your dashboard.

Do I own my website and accounts?

Yes. Your website, Google Business Profile and ad accounts belong to you.

How long is the commitment?

Programs start with a 6-month term, then continue month to month. SEO and local search take time to build, and six months gives the system room to work.
