Who is RGR Marketing (ReallyGreatRate)?
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 RGR Marketing.
RGR Marketing (ReallyGreatRate) is a lead generation company, not a marketing agency. They sell leads: real-time, validated leads for solar, home improvement, and mortgage companies. You don't hire them to build your website or run your SEO. You hire them to deliver phone numbers of people who want their windows replaced.
Recognition: BBB Accredited Business · Offers free trial (up to 10% of leads on first order)

Side-by-side
Where RGR Marketing excels
Lead delivery with quality controls. Their leads go through a validation process before they reach you, which is supposed to filter out the tire-kickers. And the free trial (up to 10% of leads on your first order) means you can test quality before committing. For contractors who just want leads without managing a marketing stack, the model is straightforward: pay for leads, call them, close them.
And if you're a solar contractor specifically, that trade depth counts for something. RGR Marketing knows the seasonal surges, the buyer hesitations, and the search patterns that generalist agencies miss entirely.
Our take
Lead gen companies sell you the same leads they're selling to your competitors. Unless you have market exclusivity (which RGR doesn't advertise), the leads you receive are also being worked by 2-3 other contractors in your area. Speed-to-call becomes the differentiator, not lead quality.
Who typically hires RGR Marketing
Solar and home improvement contractors who want a steady flow of leads without managing SEO, PPC, or website optimization themselves.
Where Fervor differs as a RGR Marketing alternative
RGR Marketing and Fervor cover overlapping ground — SEO, Google Ads, conversion work — but the shape is different. RGR Marketing 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 380 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 RGR Marketing may fall short for contractors
Lead gen only. No website, no SEO, no branding, no long-term asset building. Leads are likely shared with competitors. No conversion optimization. And if your close rate from bought leads is low, buying more leads just means spending more money on the same problem.
Choosing the right agency for your business
Choose RGR Marketing if:
- You need an agency that only works with solar contractors
- You want solar-specific keyword strategy and campaign management
- You value pure lead gen with validation process and a free trial before commitment
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. RGR Marketing and Fervor cover overlapping ground. The honest split is shape, not service line: RGR Marketing 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.
Is RGR Marketing worth it? Reviews, reputation, and cost
So you searched for RGR Marketing reviews and landed on a comparison page. Fair enough. Before you hand any agency your budget, you want two answers: what people actually say about them, and what they cost. Here's the straight version of both.
What the ratings say. BBB A+, accredited since 2005; no third-party star aggregate with a count; signals from BBB, Ripoff Report, ComplaintsBoard; Scamadviser flags site as legit/low-risk. We pulled that from third-party sources, not their own testimonials page.
What clients praise. A 20-year-old lead-generation firm (mortgage, solar, home-improvement leads); some buyers report good service, quality leads and consistent close rates on shared/exclusive campaigns
Where it gets mixed. It is a lead-gen vendor, not a full-service agency; complaints allege fake landing pages/scam-style ads posing as local contractors to harvest data, plus non-stop sales calls, lead-quality disputes and unfulfilled refund promises
Our take: A well-established, BBB-accredited lead broker with satisfied buyers, but a recurring thread of lead-quality, aggressive-sales and deceptive-ad complaints means due diligence is warranted. And the reviews further down this page come from real Fervor clients, pulled from Google, so you can judge both sides by the same standard.
What RGR Marketing costs
Their pricing, as best we can document it: Pay-per-lead with custom quotes; per-lead cost scales with exclusivity, geography and vertical (roughly $5 shared to $100+ exclusive), with up to 10% free leads on a first order (published on their site). Fervor prices differently: Project-based — Site Inspection (free), Leak Plug Sprint (from $4,997), Booked by Design (from $7,497), Performance Partner (from $1,497/mo). So instead of guessing which engagement fits, you start with the free Site Inspection, and it tells you whether you need a full rebuild or just a targeted fix, before a dollar changes hands.

Working with Ney was a pleasure. He was attentive, he listened to each and every one of my 100+ revision requests (it wasn't actually that much). He created a beautiful page that has served me well for a year. He did everything as asked/expected/on time and I would love to work with him again.
