Who is Builder Funnel (Remodeler Marketing Blueprint)?
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 Builder Funnel.
Builder Funnel ranks for "remodeler marketing" because their founder Spencer Powell literally wrote the book on it. The agency is about 40 people in Colorado Springs, and they exclusively serve design-build remodelers and custom home builders. Nobody else. If you're an electrician or roofer, they'll send you away. And their backstory is real: the family has been building homes for over 100 years, and Spencer grew a remodeling division from $2M to $10M after the 2008 recession.

Feature review at a glance
Side-by-side
Where Builder Funnel excels
Inbound marketing for high-ticket remodelers. As a HubSpot Diamond Partner, they run the full inbound playbook: content strategy, lead nurturing, marketing automation, and CRM. For remodelers selling $100K+ projects where the sales cycle is 3-6 months, that long-game inbound approach matches the buying cycle. And 15+ years exclusively in this space means they've seen what works and what doesn't for remodelers specifically.
Our take
Builder Funnel runs an education arm alongside the agency: Builder Funnel Academy, a blog with 250+ content ideas, and the book itself. That means Spencer Powell is part agency owner, part educator. The upside is genuine thought leadership. The question is whether a 40-person team can serve agency clients at full capacity while also running an education business.
Who typically hires Builder Funnel
Design-build remodelers and custom home builders doing $2M-$10M+ in revenue who want a long-game inbound marketing strategy with HubSpot as the backbone.
Where Fervor differs as a Builder Funnel alternative
Builder Funnel and Fervor don't actually compete. Builder Funnel 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 Builder Funnel may fall short for contractors
Only serves remodelers and custom builders. Won't take roofers, HVAC companies, plumbers, or any other trade. Their approach is inbound marketing (content, nurture, long-cycle), not direct-response or CRO. If you need your website to convert more visitors into calls next month, inbound is a 6-12 month play.
Choosing the right agency for your business
Choose Builder Funnel if:
- You need SEO, PPC, web design, and paid channels managed under one roof
- You want more visitors hitting your site every month
- Your main bottleneck is traffic volume, not what happens after visitors land
- You value remodeler/builder exclusive for 15+ years, hubspot diamond partner, founder wrote the category book
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, Builder Funnel 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.
