What owners ask us first.

Owner-operated home services companies doing roughly $1M–$10M, where the owner is still working in the business. It's not for price shoppers hunting the cheapest leads, or anyone who wants a quick campaign instead of an operating partner.

The Checkup is free. The Foundation build is fixed-scope and fixed-price, sized to your operation and quoted after the Checkup, so you know the full number before you sign anything. The partnership after it is a flat monthly amount with a 30-day out. The Teardown, when it's warranted, is $1,500 with every dollar credited toward the build. No percentage-of-ad-spend fees, no surprise line items.

You'll see your score live on the call. If there's something worth fixing, we'll send a one-page plan for your business: what we'd build, what it costs, and what it fixes first. A 12-minute walkthrough, no meeting required. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you that instead.

Time back. The dashboard is how you check on it in 20 minutes, not another thing to tend. The whole point is that the calls get answered, the leads get worked, the invoices go out, and the reviews get handled without you in the middle. The parts you never wanted stop being your job.

Most owners go straight from the Checkup to the Foundation build. The Teardown is the two-week deep dive for bigger operations, or for anyone who wants the full review first: mystery calls to your own line, a marketing teardown, an ops review, and your top three leaks priced in dollars. $1,500 flat, and every dollar credits toward the build if we work together.

No. The build is fixed-scope and fixed-price; the partnership after it is month-to-month with a 30-day out. Your website, your data, your ad accounts: everything is in your name from day one, so you can walk away clean anytime. We plan on you never wanting to.

FOCAL is founder-led: an operator leads every account. The person who diagnoses your business is the person accountable for the result. No handoff to a junior team after the sales call.

No. We build on what's working. If your CRM or field-service software does its job, we wire into it, and what we install fills the gaps around it: answering, follow-up, invoicing, reviews, reporting. Your team keeps the tools they already know.

No. It only replies to people who called or messaged you first, so every text is an answer they were expecting, not a cold blast. We set it up to follow the rules on consent and opt-out, in your company's voice, on your service area and your hours.

The first system usually goes live inside week one; call answering tends to come first because it pays back fastest. The full Foundation takes about 30 days. After that, the monthly report does the talking: calls captured, response times, invoices paid, review growth, and what it added up to in dollars.

Access, and an hour or two a week during the build. Read access to your numbers, admin access to set up the systems, and a sit-down so everything we write sounds like you and not like software. You keep running the business. We do the building.

We use modern tools wherever they make you money or buy back your time. That's how every call gets answered and every lead gets worked in minutes. But you'll never get a buzzword tour. You'll get a dashboard with booked jobs, revenue per truck, and cost per job. The technology is the how, never the point.

Then sell from strength. Buyers pay more for a company that runs without its founder: clean numbers, documented operations, and a durable marketing engine. Larger platforms are commonly cited as trading at higher multiples than independents, and closing that gap is exactly what these systems do. Same build either way; you choose the destination, and you can change your mind.
