Who is Deck Builder Marketers?
Deck Builder Marketers only works with deck builders. They publish in Deck Specialist Magazine and host an industry podcast, which means they're embedded in the deck building community — not just marketing to it from the outside. Every strategy, template, and keyword set is built for outdoor living contractors.

Side-by-side
Where Deck Builder Marketers excels
Trade media involvement that translates into real strategy. When your agency publishes in the same magazine your customers read and hosts a podcast your peers listen to, the strategies reflect how the industry actually works. And their clients report 2x revenue in 6 months, which suggests the narrow focus produces concentrated results. So if you're a deck builder who wants an agency that doesn't need to Google what Trex is, this is your shop.
And if you're a deck builders contractor specifically, that trade depth counts for something. Deck Builder Marketers knows the seasonal surges, the buyer hesitations, and the search patterns that generalist agencies miss entirely.
Where Fervor differs
Deck Builder Marketers and Fervor don't actually compete. Deck Builder Marketers 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 65 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.
Who should choose which
Choose Deck Builder Marketers if:
- You need an agency that only works with deck builders contractors
- You want deck builders-specific keyword strategy and campaign management
- You value deck builders only — trade magazine contributor + industry podcast
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, Deck Builder Marketers 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. And some contractors end up working with both.
