How much does Momentum cost?
A one time setup fee for the foundation, then one monthly fee that covers everything we do for you. It's month to month with no contract. The number depends on the rung you're standing on and the work your shop needs, so we give it to you on your free business audit, not on a web page.
Are you a marketing agency?
No. We're a growth agency. In plain terms, an agency is someone who does the work for you. A marketing agency does your marketing and a social media agency runs your social media. We help you grow the whole company: your website, your Google profile, your phone, your reviews, your ads and the holes that are costing you good jobs. We won't run the wire or get on the roof. We do what we specialize in, so you can do what you specialize in.
Do you coach me, or do it for me?
Both. Some companies coach you and leave the work to you. Others do the work and keep you in the dark. We do the work, like an experienced teammate on your crew, and we walk you through what we did and why on a call every week.
What happens in the first month?
We lay the foundation, the same way you would on a house: a website that looks like the best in your industry, a complete Google Business Profile, spam calls stopped and every real call answered, and every review answered. The first month is about stopping the leaks, so the leads you already get turn into jobs. That foundation is what the setup fee covers.
What does the setup fee cover?
The foundation. Before we can start fixing the holes that cost you good jobs, your stuff has to be up to standard: a website that looks like the best in your industry, a complete Google Business Profile, a phone that screens out spam and answers every real call, accounts set up in your name and every review answered. That's the one time setup. After that, it's one monthly fee, month to month.
Is there a contract?
No. Momentum is month to month. A lot of agencies, done for you programs and coaches ask for a minimum before you'll see results. We don't, because there's real work you can see in month one. If we're not earning it, you can walk.
What happens if I cancel?
You walk away with every account, because they were in your name from day one: your Google Business Profile, your ad accounts and your domain. Nothing is held back until a contract runs out.
What do I actually get?
A team that does the work: a calling agent so you never miss a call, spam calls stopped, a website up to standard, your Google Business Profile and citations, every review answered, posts in your own words, your ads, help with service agreements and a sweep of your market every week. It's all managed through one playbook and one scorecard.
Who owns my website, Google profile and ad accounts?
You do. Every account stays in your name from day one. We get manager access, never ownership.
Can't I just do this myself with ChatGPT?
You can ask it anything. So can every one of your competitors, and they get the same answers you do. An answer isn't the work getting done. Somebody still has to do it, check it and keep it going every week.
Do you use AI?
Yes, behind the scenes. Virtual teammates handle the repetitive work, like answering and texting back missed calls and sweeping your market. People make every call that matters, and a real person who knows your business is on a call with you every week.
How fast will I see booked jobs?
It depends on your rung. We fix the phone and your profiles first, and we turn the ads up last, once calls are answered and tracking is live. For one crawl space company in North Carolina, $2,096 in ads turned into $104,100 in closed jobs, a 49X return on his ad spend and referral system. That's one client, not a promise.
What's a weekly sweep?
Every week we check your competitors, your reviews, what homeowners in your area are searching for and what AI says about your line of work in your town. Then we act on it.
What's on the scorecard?
Five numbers every Monday: leads, booked jobs, response time, reviews and revenue. You also get a 20 minute call every week and a report by the fifth of every month.
Who is Momentum for?
Home service owners who are tired of being the whole company and want a business that runs like one.

What happens on the free business audit?
We get on a call and share our screen. We find the rung you're standing on, show you what's leaking and tell you what we'd do first. If you don't need us yet, we'll tell you that too.
