Agencies

You've already paid
an agency once. How'd that go?

No retainer · no contract · your ad budget stays in your account

100+ contractors nationwide. Most of them came to us after an agency.


The Pattern

It usually breaks the same three ways

We hear these on almost every call.

!

The retainer came first

You paid every month whether the phone rang or not. The invoice was the only thing that showed up reliably. When you asked what you were getting for it, you got a slide deck.

!

Your ad money vanished into theirs

Spend and fee were bundled into one number, run out of their ad account, and you never saw the split. When you left, the account, the pixel and the history left with them.

!

Nobody owned the outcome

Leads came in unqualified, or came in late, or came in shared with four other contractors. Nobody could tell you which. There was no report, or the report measured impressions instead of booked jobs.

Why this happens: a retainer pays an agency for activity, not for booked jobs. Once the fee is locked in for the year, the incentive to make your phone ring is gone — and the contract makes leaving expensive enough that most contractors just ride it out.

The Difference

What actually changes

The agency model

  • Retainer billed monthly, results optional
  • Locked into a 6 or 12-month contract
  • Ad spend and fee bundled into one number
  • Ads run from their ad account, not yours
  • Leads shared, recycled, or unqualified
  • Reporting on impressions and reach
  • They sign your competitor down the road too

ClientSwing

  • $297/mo, month-to-month, cancel anytime
  • No contract — 30-day money-back on month one
  • Our fee is for managing. Spend is separate.
  • Your ad account, your name, your data
  • Exclusive leads, AI-qualified before booking
  • A monthly report on booked, qualified jobs
  • One contractor per trade, per area

The Math

You already know your old number

We're not going to invent a figure for what your last agency charged. You've got the invoices. Put ours next to them.

$

$297/mo, and that's the whole fee

Month-to-month. No setup fee, no onboarding fee, no minimum term. If you run ads, that budget is separate and sits in your own account — you fund it and you watch every dollar before it's spent. Our fee is for managing the machine, never a cut of your spend disguised as one.

And you keep everything

The ad account, the pixel and its history, the website, the reviews, the CRM and every contact in it — all in your name from day one. If you ever leave, none of it leaves with us. That's the part that costs contractors the most when an agency relationship ends.


Contractors Who Switched

They'd all tried something else first

Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

Higher-ticket

“Right away we started picking up higher-ticket clients. We'd tried other marketing companies who charged a lot more with hardly any results.”

Brandon Ballance · Texas Home Remodel & Repair

Staten Island, NY

Replaced 8 years

“Every lead is your lead — not shared with ten other guys. Through the dead winter months, I've been booked solid.”

Joseph Romano · replaced 8 years of Angie's List

Canonsburg, PA

2 leads in days

“Within days I got two serious leads — the guy sent me drawings for the house. That's more than I got from Houzz in four years.”

Gordon Kwasniewski · Togo Custom Homes

Every one of these contractors pays the same $297/mo.


Questions

What contractors ask after the last one

Because most of what an agency bills for is people doing repetitive work by hand — chasing leads, sending follow-ups, qualifying, booking. That part is automated here and runs the same way for every client, so it doesn't cost more to serve one more contractor. What you're not paying for is an account team, an office, and a retainer that exists whether the phone rings or not.

There isn't a hidden one, but there is a real constraint: we take one contractor per trade, per area. If your zip is already taken for your trade, we'll tell you on the call and that's the end of it. We also turn down businesses we don't think we can help — that's not a line, it's cheaper for us than a refund.

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, and the first month carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. The whole point is that you shouldn't have to trust us for very long before you can see whether it works.

You do, from day one. Your ad account is in your name and you fund it directly — the money never passes through us. The site, the reviews, the CRM and every contact in it are yours. If you leave, you keep all of it.

The $297 foundation is a flat fee, not a percentage. There is a fuller version where we run the ads for you, and that one is priced differently — we'll walk you through it on the call rather than leave you to guess from a page. Either way you always see the spend and the fee as two separate numbers.

You're live in a day and fully activated inside 48 hours, so the clock starts almost immediately. Your first month is covered by the money-back guarantee, which is deliberately long enough to see real leads rather than just setup.
