We build the complete growth engine for home service companies: SEO, Google Local Services Ads, PPC, a conversion-built website, reviews, and speed-to-lead follow-up. We run it, prove it, and hand you the keys by month 6. No more renting shared leads.
A home service company sells capacity. Everything we build exists to keep it full.
Every home service company runs the same math: a fixed number of trucks, a board that has to fill by seven, and demand that never sits still. Home services marketing decides whether tomorrow's slots hold real work or the same lead four competitors already bought.
We build the engine that fills the board: found first when something breaks, booked before the homeowner calls the next name, and back again next season. You own it. Run project work instead? Start at contractor marketing.
In 2015 I started Four28 Marketing with one goal: give local businesses an unfair advantage in their market.
Eleven years and 250+ businesses later, one pattern kept jumping out. Home services was the one place I could run the same playbook and watch it actually work. Not a slide in a quarterly review, real jobs on a real calendar. I’d rather move the needle for a small business than a Fortune 500 any day.
So we took everything we had built over a decade and pointed all of it at one thing.
Every one of these is a leak in how work reaches you, not a flaw in how you do it. Leaks can be plugged.
Peak season buries you, the slow months bleed you. Without a system producing work year round, the profit you bank in the rush leaks out in the quiet.
Consolidators run national ad budgets in your zip codes. You will not outspend them, but you can outrank and outconvert them where the jobs are actually won.
A website firm, an SEO shop, an ads guy, a reviews tool, a CRM nobody configured. Each bills monthly, none of them talk, and nobody owns the number that matters: booked jobs.
Retainers and lead fees buy you a spot in someone else's asset. Stop paying and the rankings, the leads, and the pipeline vanish overnight.
The same engine has scaled 250+ local service businesses across 25 industries, and home services is the only category we serve. Every review below is a real owner. See the full case studies on our results page.
“I've worked with plenty of agencies that promise the world and deliver a folder full of vanity metrics. Contractor Fast Lane is different. They feel like an extension of our team and take the time to understand our industry instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all template. Since partnering with them we have seen a significant increase in qualified leads and a real boost in ROI, and our cost per acquisition has dropped.”
We've used a number of marketing agencies over the years. Contractor Fast Lane has hands-down been our favorite to work with. We tell everyone that they need to hire them. They exponentially increased our revenue. They are phenomenal to work with!
I was with a different company for TWELVE years whom I trusted, only to find out he had not been performing yet was charging us anyway. We didn't have our log-ins, never got reports, and had no idea what we were missing.. until my wife found these guys. Daniel and the team have made my business shine. They are a God send.
My husband and I run a local business, and when it came time to grow we knew we needed experts. Contractor Fast Lane came highly recommended from a friend who raved about them. They are crazy good at taking complicated, nerdy stuff and making it make sense, and they were always communicating so I never once wondered what was going on. Their SEO work for our market has been a game changer, and we have seen a tangible increase in our lead volume.
It was clear they had done extensive research on our industry before we ever sat down. We spoke to other agencies, but there was a distinct difference. What really stood out was their proven track record getting clients top rankings on Google. We needed a site built the right way, optimized and built to convert, and that is exactly what they delivered. Honestly, it has been one of the best investments we have made for our business.
My lawn care company needed to fill our schedule fast, and Contractor Fast Lane was the solution. They identified the best times, places, and people to target to maximize the amount and quality of the jobs my money was paying for.
They are AHMAZING! They truly care, are ethical and transparent, and do what it takes to help their clients. When you hire this team you get what you pay for, and we RANK #1. HIRE THEM!
Working with this team has been an absolute pleasure from day one. Beyond the website, their strategic marketing support has played a major role in helping me grow my small business and connect with the right audience. They are creative, responsive, professional, and truly invested in your success.
I have some pretty big competitors that are double and triple my size, and I needed to compete with them. Contractor Fast Lane delivered exactly that. Their team is not only skilled but genuinely passionate about what they do.
Daniel and team helped take my small business to a level I never would have reached without them. They are always patient and happy to educate me. My customers love my new website and it is bringing in new business every week!
Contractor Fast Lane has been our go-to team. Daniel carries excellence in every area of the business, from development and service to integrity and design. Highly recommend. Five stars.
Daniel and his team did a terrific job learning about our company, understanding our competitive advantages, and building to our strengths. They continue to work with us to drive qualified customers to our door. I would definitely recommend them.
Excellent people to work with. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very reliable. We had some time constraints and they came through big time. We could not be any happier. An A+ company!
Their team is very helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and quick to respond to any need we have. They have greatly improved our website, our SEO, and our social media. We are thankful and blessed to have them!
They walked through each step carefully to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, and that we understood everything. Communication was great, especially around expectations and next steps. I am very thankful we got connected with them.
We could not be happier. We looked at several options and this team had, by far, the most positive approach, and their price was very competitive. Throughout the whole process they were thorough and more than accommodating for our needs.
Daniel and his team are awesome to work with. They get the modern marketing landscape and provide tailored solutions that really work. We are thankful for the partnership and highly recommend them.
We worked with Contractor Fast Lane on our new website and appreciated their flexibility and commitment to delivering a polished result. Their team was highly responsive, adjusting thoughtfully to our revisions while maintaining clear and professional communication. If you are looking for a company that listens, refines, and delivers work tailored to your needs, they are a great choice!
Retainers and lead fees are rent, and rent stops working the day you stop paying. Owned home services marketing is an asset that compounds and stays on your books.
Rented visibility resets to zero the day the invoices stop, no matter how many years you paid.
An owned engine compounds: your cost per booked job falls every quarter, and the website itself is fully yours by month 6.
Published figures for what it costs to get the phone to ring, and what happens to that money afterwards. Your trade and your metro will move all of them. The pattern underneath does not move.
Sources: home services cost per lead, cost per click and conversion rate from LocaliQ's 2025 home services search ad benchmarks (3,211 US search campaigns, April 2024 to March 2025). Local Services Ads cost per lead, book rate, cost per paying customer and average ticket from SearchLight Digital's LSA benchmark (888 home service companies, 126,650 leads, February 2026).

Most home services marketing leans on one channel and hopes. Real home service lead generation connects four systems so each one feeds the others, and all of them feed your schedule.
Search feeds reviews, reviews feed conversion, conversion feeds the ads, and instant follow-up makes sure none of it leaks. Connected, the four systems compound into one machine. Split across five vendors, they never will. See how the full engine works →
What fills a board is not a mystery, and it is not what wins a bid. Who gets found at 9pm. Who answers. What the call turns out to be worth. Whether that customer comes back. And who holds the list at the end of it.
You sell capacity, and a slot nobody filled at 2pm is gone for good. We build against what your dispatch board and your techs can absorb, so demand lands where you have trucks, hours and drive time to cover it.
Angi, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor and Networx rent you a service request and keep the homeowner. When that same house needs work again, the platform sells the visit to somebody else, and you pay a second time for a customer you already served.
Roughly a quarter of calls into home service companies are never answered, and published benchmarks put the booking rate on paid leads under half. Track every call, catch the after-hours ones, and you need fewer leads to fill the week.
Cost per lead is the wrong number to run on. Sixty dollars attached to a $200 repair loses money. The same sixty attached to a replacement pays for the week. We build for the mix of work you want, then measure revenue per booked call.
In a slow stretch there is no demand to buy. The auction has less to sell and the lead sellers have less to send. What carries those weeks is your share of the searches that still happen, and the customers already in your database.
One-time calls do not compound. Maintenance and membership plans do, and so does a customer list that is yours from day one along with your reviews, your content and your data. The website itself becomes fully yours at month 6.
Territories lock the day somebody starts. A quick call tells you whether your trade in your area is still open, and what the engine would look like running against your board.
Book a Discovery Call →Everything a home service business needs to own its market, built, connected, and run under one roof.
Rankings for the searches that decide your market: emergency terms, replacement terms, and near me searches across every city you serve, plus the map pack, where the calls actually happen.
Google Verified placement above everything else on the page. Pay per lead, not per click, managed and disputed weekly so the budget only buys real homeowners.
Google Ads and Meta campaigns tuned to your trade's seasons, service area, and highest-margin work, pointed at the openings on your board rather than at whatever comes in.
Fast, mobile-first, and engineered to book: click-to-call, instant scheduling, financing, and the proof that turns a comparison shopper into a booked estimate.
Homeowners hire the company with the strongest review wall. Automated requests after every completed job keep yours growing on autopilot, in every city you serve.
The first company to respond usually wins the job. Every lead gets an instant text, automated follow-up until it books, and a spot on your calendar.
One engine, tuned to how each trade actually wins work: different searches, seasons, and ticket sizes. Find yours below.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for established home service companies doing roughly $500K to $10M and up per year: HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, remodeling, pest control, and 25 industries in all. If you have the trucks, the crews, and the reputation, we build the home services marketing engine that takes you to the next level, and we lock your trade in your market so a competitor can never buy the same system.
Emergency and repair tradesHVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration: trades where being found first is the whole game.
High-ticket replacement and remodelRoofing, solar, remodeling, windows: trades won on proof, reviews, and relentless follow-up.
Recurring service businessesPest control, lawn care, cleaning: trades built on route density, retention, and reviews.
One company per trade, per marketWe work with a single company per trade in each service area. Yours locks when you start.
A home service business compounds through its customers. The call you win this month becomes the plan next spring, the replacement in five years, and the neighbor who asks who you used. That is why early work keeps paying: every booked call adds to a base that never resets.
A bought lead is one call and one invoice. A customer you earned calls back, refers the neighbor and renews the plan, and nobody gets to bill you for that twice.
“I kept watching the same thing happen: a contractor doing five-star work, running circles around the shop down the street, and still losing to them. Not because the other guy was better. Because he had a system bringing him customers, and they didn't.
So we built the system. Then we packaged the whole thing, done for you, for local service businesses ready to scale. We keep your calendar full, you run the jobs, and it is all in your name, right down to the website becoming yours at month 6.
No contracts, no lock-ins. We earn it every month. And we only take one company per market, so if yours is still open, I'd love to meet you.”
A quick 15-minute call. We'll get to know your business and tell you honestly if it's a fit. One company per trade, per market.
