Where Group Two excels

Institutional knowledge that only comes from five decades. Group Two has seen every market cycle, buyer trend, interest rate shift, and competitive dynamic the homebuilding industry has produced since the 1970s. So if you're a custom home builder or production builder who needs an agency that genuinely understands the buyer journey from lot selection to model home experience to closing, Group Two has more pattern recognition in their files than most agencies have in their entire company history.

And if you're a custom home builders contractor specifically, that trade depth counts for something. Group Two knows the seasonal surges, the buyer hesitations, and the search patterns that generalist agencies miss entirely.

Where Fervor differs as a Group Two alternative

Group Two and Fervor cover overlapping ground — SEO, Google Ads, conversion work — but the shape is different. Group Two 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 Group Two if:

  • You need an agency that only works with custom home builders contractors
  • You want custom home builders-specific keyword strategy and campaign management
  • You value 50+ years exclusively in homebuilder marketing — longest tenure in any trade vertical

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. Group Two and Fervor cover overlapping ground. The honest split is shape, not service line: Group Two 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.
