Where Coalition Technologies excels

SEO execution at scale. A 97% client retention rate and 99% satisfaction rate across 800+ clients means they consistently deliver. Their ability to rank #1 for their own target keywords ("SEO company," "digital marketing company") is the ultimate proof of concept. And 250+ employees means they have the bench depth for complex, multi-property SEO campaigns.

And if you're a e-commerce contractor specifically, that trade depth counts for something. Coalition Technologies knows the seasonal surges, the buyer hesitations, and the search patterns that generalist agencies miss entirely.

Our take

Coalition is what you hire when you want the agency that ranks #1 for "SEO company" to do your SEO. That's a legitimate selling point. But their 800+ case studies span every industry, and none of them are contractor-specific. A plumbing company hiring Coalition would get great SEO. But they wouldn't get someone who understands why "emergency plumber" converts at 3x the rate of "plumber near me."

Who typically hires Coalition Technologies

Mid-to-large businesses across any industry who want a proven SEO agency with a massive track record and are willing to pay for the Coalition name.

Where Fervor differs as a Coalition Technologies alternative

Coalition Technologies and Fervor don't actually compete. Coalition Technologies 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.

Where Coalition Technologies may fall short for contractors

Zero contractor specialization. No trade-specific data or CRO. Enterprise pricing likely excludes most contractors. And their SEO focus means they drive traffic, not conversions.

Choosing the right agency for your business

Choose Coalition Technologies if:

  • You need an agency that only works with e-commerce contractors
  • You want e-commerce-specific keyword strategy and campaign management
  • You value ranks #1 for "seo company" organically with 800+ case studies and 97% client retention

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, Coalition Technologies 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.
