Your current agency is
profiting from your confusion.

When private equity buys a marketing agency, contractors commonly report the same pattern. Tools, contracts, and proprietary systems make leaving costlier than staying. The three problems below come up across publicly available reviews on Glassdoor, Clutch, BBB, and industry publications.

PROBLEM 01 // // THE LOCK
01

You do not own your website.

Their websites run on a proprietary CMS. When you leave, the site stays with them. Your SEO equity, your conversion rate history, your custom integrations, all gone. You start from zero in a space where compounding work matters most.

PROBLEM 02 // // THE TRAP
02

12 to 24 month contract trap.

Long term contracts with reported buyout fees in the tens of thousands of dollars to exit early. You signed up for marketing services. Many contractors report ending up trapped, paying for a system they can no longer escape.

PROBLEM 03 // // THE NOISE
03

High volume, low quality leads.

The dashboard looks great. The booked jobs do not match. Account managers running 30 plus accounts cannot tell the difference between a real lead and a tire kicker, so the metric they show you is volume.

Side by side.
No spin.

Every row below is something a contractor told us about their old agency in the last 12 months. Then we lined it up against how we actually run accounts at Advanced Marketers®.

Real contractors. Real numbers. Real switches. Numbers below are from active engagements.

CASE 01 // FLOORING

We're not for sale. We're for contractors.

Eighteen years inside digital marketing. I started ADVANCED MARKETERS® in 2016 because I watched too many home services owners get sold a strategy by a salesperson and then handed off to whoever was free that quarter. We never wanted to be that.

No private-equity money. No quarterly revenue targets dictated by a holding company. No proprietary CMS we use to hostage your SEO. The agency answers to one person and that person picks up the phone.

We win when contractors win. Booked jobs, not leads. Revenue, not impressions. The trial period exists because we'd rather lose you in month two than trap you for twenty-four.

  • Top 3% Google Premier Partner — globally.
  • Meta Business Partner since 2018.
  • $0 in outside investor capital — ever.

Before you
switch agencies.

Yes. The audit is free regardless of your contract status. Many contractors use the audit to negotiate better terms with their existing agency, or find legitimate cause to exit a contract early.
You get full access to your campaigns, your CRM, and your strategist from day one. We run aggressively. If we are not driving real measurable results by day 60, you walk away with no further obligation. The 6 month term only begins when you confirm we are delivering.
Yes. We build on WordPress, the open source platform that powers 40 percent of the internet. You own your domain, your content, your code, your hosting credentials. If you ever leave us, you take everything with you, including your SEO equity.
Our strategists carry 8 accounts maximum. Compare that to the 30 plus accounts a typical national agency AM handles. You get a weekly call, real time access, and a senior person on every campaign decision. Not a junior in a rotating pod.
We pull your Google Ads, GA4, Google Business Profile, call tracking, and CRM data. We benchmark your last 90 days against industry standards in your trade and metro, then deliver a written report plus a 30 minute walkthrough call. You keep the report.
Most clients see meaningful lead volume changes within 30 to 60 days, with full optimization landing around the 90 day mark. The 2 month trial is designed to put proof on the table before any commitment kicks in.
