Where Contractor Advertising excels

Closing the loop between marketing and revenue. Most agencies hand you a lead count. Contractor Advertising connects that lead count to actual booked jobs inside ServiceTitan — campaign tracking, attribution, the whole pipeline. So if you're already running ServiceTitan and you're frustrated that your agency can't tell you which campaign generated which $8,000 job, this is the fix. And the no-contract policy after 14 years in business tells you they keep clients with results, not paperwork.

Where Fervor differs as a Contractor Advertising alternative

Contractor Advertising and Fervor don't actually compete. Contractor Advertising gets more people to your site. SEO, PPC, paid channels. We focus on what happens after they land. So if you're pulling 2,000 visits a month but your phone only rings 9 times, that's not a traffic problem. That's a conversion problem. And conversion is the only thing we work on.

(Quick way to tell which problem you have: check your Google Analytics. If your monthly sessions are under 500, you probably need traffic. If they're over 1,000 and you're still not getting calls, you need conversion work.)

Revenue per visitor

Your traffic has a dollar value. But most agencies won't calculate it because the number isn't always flattering. We measure what each visitor is actually worth in booked revenue, then rank your fixes by which ones move that number fastest.

The Site Inspection

Before we recommend a single change, we score your site across 6 categories against 64 national contractor brands. You get a Fervor Grade™ and a ranked fix list. No sales call required. And no money changes hands.

Conversion-first design

Booked by Design™ doesn't start with a homepage mockup. It starts with conversion benchmarks from 18 trades we've already scored. So layout decisions, CTA placement, form position, the order your services appear on the page, even which photo goes above the fold — all of it is backed by what actually gets contractors booked.

Choosing the right agency for your business

Choose Contractor Advertising if:

  • You need SEO, PPC, web design, and paid channels managed under one roof
  • You want more visitors hitting your site every month
  • Your main bottleneck is traffic volume, not what happens after visitors land
  • You value servicetitan integration experts — 14+ years, no long-term contracts

Choose Fervor if:

  • Your site gets traffic but your close rate from web leads sits under 5%
  • You want to know exactly which pages are bleeding leads right now
  • You need a website rebuilt around revenue per visitor, not just how it looks
  • You want a Canada-based agency that works with US and Canadian contractors

One more thing. These aren't competing solutions. If your site converts well but needs more eyeballs, Contractor Advertising can drive that traffic. If you're getting the traffic but it's not turning into booked jobs, that's our side of the equation. Some contractors review both options and end up working with both.

Questions to review before hiring Contractor Advertising

Does Contractor Advertising integrate with ServiceTitan?

Yes — and that's their standout capability. They wire your marketing campaigns into ServiceTitan so you can track a lead from first click to closed job. If you're already running ServiceTitan and your current agency can't tell you which campaign generated which booked job, this integration closes that gap.

Does Contractor Advertising require a contract?

No long-term contracts. After 14 years in business, they keep clients with results, not paperwork. That's worth something when you've been burned by agencies that lock you in for 12 months and underdeliver.

How does Contractor Advertising compare to Fervor Studio?

Contractor Advertising manages SEO, PPC, and web design with tight ServiceTitan integration — you see which campaigns produce which jobs. Fervor focuses on making the website itself convert better, regardless of which CRM you run. If your campaigns are driving clicks but the site isn't booking jobs, Fervor addresses that layer.
