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 cover overlapping ground — SEO, Google Ads, conversion work — but the shape is different. Contractor Advertising 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.

Choosing the right agency for your business

Choose Contractor Advertising 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 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. Contractor Advertising and Fervor cover overlapping ground. The honest split is shape, not service line: Contractor Advertising 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.

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 runs the same core stack (SEO, Google Ads, CRO) for contractors with revenue-per-visitor measurement built in, regardless of CRM. Overlapping services; different emphasis — ServiceTitan-tied dispatch reporting versus revenue-per-visitor conversion engineering.
