Who is Blue Corona (now RYNO Strategic Solutions)?
Before you commit to any agency, it helps to review what they actually offer, how they price it, and where they focus. Here's what we found when we looked at Blue Corona.
Blue Corona merged into RYNO Strategic Solutions in October 2024. But plenty of contractors still search for them by name. The combined entity is PE-backed through EverService Holdings and Sunstone Partners, and they run the full stack — SEO, PPC, web design, email, social, plus a live call answering service called Lead Capture Live. So if a lead calls at 2 a.m. on a Saturday, someone picks up.

Feature review at a glance
Side-by-side
Where Blue Corona excels
The merger gave them scale and depth that most home services agencies can't match. RYNO's RYNOtrax platform handles call tracking and attribution. Blue Corona brought WordPress-first web design with 24/7 security monitoring and revenue attribution tied to CRM data. And the bilingual call answering service is unusual — most agencies stop at "we'll get you leads" without worrying about whether someone actually answers the phone.
Our take
Blue Corona's merger with RYNO created a home-services marketing machine backed by private equity money. But PE-backed agencies optimize for portfolio returns, not necessarily for the $800K plumbing company that needs 12 more jobs this month. The resources are real. The question is whether your account gets the A-team or the B-team.
Who typically hires Blue Corona
Mid-to-large home service companies ($2M+ revenue) who want one agency handling everything — SEO, PPC, web, email, call answering — and have the budget for a full-service retainer.
Where Fervor differs as a Blue Corona alternative
Blue Corona and Fervor cover overlapping ground — SEO, Google Ads, conversion work — but the shape is different. Blue Corona runs that playbook across many industries. Fervor runs it for contractors only, and ties every channel to the same number: booked jobs per visitor. So if you're pulling 2,000 visits a month and the phone only rings 9 times, we don't argue about whether the problem is traffic or conversion. We diagnose which one is actually leaking and fix that side of the funnel.
(Quick way to tell where your gap is: check your Google Analytics. Under 500 monthly sessions usually means you need more visibility — SEO, GBP, paid search. Over 1,000 and the phone still isn't ringing means the conversion path is leaking. Fervor works on both, contractor-side.)
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 343 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.
Where Blue Corona may fall short for contractors
Pricing isn't published, which usually means minimum spend thresholds that exclude smaller operators. And with PE ownership, the pressure to scale means high-touch attention can vary by account size. If you're a $500K contractor, you might not get the same team as the $5M franchise.
Choosing the right agency for your business
Choose Blue Corona if:
- You want a generalist agency working across many industries, not contractor-only
- You need traditional media (TV, radio, print) or other services outside SEO, Google Ads, and CRO
- You value full-stack marketing plus live call answering and lead recovery under one pe-backed roof
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. Blue Corona and Fervor cover overlapping ground. The honest split is shape, not service line: Blue Corona is built for breadth across industries; Fervor is built for depth across contractor trades, with revenue-per-visitor measurement on every account. Some contractors review both options and pick the fit that matches the way their team thinks about marketing.

Working with Ney was a pleasure. He was attentive, he listened to each and every one of my 100+ revision requests (it wasn't actually that much). He created a beautiful page that has served me well for a year. He did everything as asked/expected/on time and I would love to work with him again.
