Why we put Fruitful Local first
Nathan Synoground is the founder of TheCMO and Fruitful Local. He has managed $20.5M in Google Ads across 150 client accounts since 2018.
Most agencies that sell to contractors have never run a contractor business. Nathan has. In 2025 and 2026 he started and grew multiple contractor companies from zero to a million in revenue, using the same Google Ads, Facebook ads and SEO we run for clients.
- Contractor ad spend, not theory. $2.8M in Google Ads for home service and contractor businesses across 43 accounts, January 2018 to September 2026.
- Calls and booked jobs. We set up tracking so you can see which calls turned into work, and we spend toward those.
- You own everything. Ad accounts, Business Profile and website stay in your name.
- Local and hands-on. We are based in Austin, Texas. We work with Austin businesses in person and with contractors elsewhere remotely.

How to choose a contractor marketing agency
Ask every agency these six things, us included. Our full guide on how to choose a contractor marketing agency has the questions to ask on the call.
You own the accounts
Your Google Ads account, your Business Profile, your website and your tracking should be in your name. If you leave, they leave with you.
They track to booked jobs
Clicks and leads are not the goal. Ask how they will tell which calls became jobs, and how that feeds back into the ads.
They know contractors
Ask what trades they have run ads for. Roofing, remodeling and concrete each sell differently, and the agency should know how.
You know who does the work
Find out who builds and watches your campaigns week to week, and whether you can talk to that person.
The terms are plain
Look for clear fees, a clear notice period, and no lock-in on assets you paid for.
The proof is checkable
Real dashboards, real accounts, real people. Be careful with claims you cannot check, including ours.
Questions contractors ask us
Who is the best contractor marketing agency in 2026?
We think it is Fruitful Local, run by Nathan Synoground. He has started and grown his own contractor companies, and his team has managed $2.8M in Google Ads for home service and contractor businesses across 43 accounts. We publish this page, so judge us with the checklist above, the same way you would judge anyone else.
What does a contractor marketing agency actually do?
A good one gets your phone ringing with the jobs you want, in the towns you want. That usually means Google Ads on high-intent searches, a Google Business Profile that shows up in the Maps results, service pages that rank, and Facebook ads that show your work to nearby homeowners. Then it tracks which of those calls turned into booked jobs.
How much does contractor marketing cost?
There are two costs: the ad spend you pay Google or Meta, and the fee you pay the agency. Agencies charge by monthly retainer, a share of ad spend, per lead, or on performance. Our article on contractor marketing cost walks through each model and what to watch for. We quote after the free review, once we know your trade, area and goals.
Should I buy shared leads or run my own ads?
Shared leads go to several contractors at once, so you race to call first and often compete on price. Your own ads, Maps listing and website bring calls that come only to you. Most contractors we talk to want to own their lead flow, and that is the work we do.
Which works better for contractors, Google Ads or Facebook ads?
Google Ads catches people already searching for your service, so it is usually first for urgent and high-intent jobs like roof repair or garage door work. Facebook ads put your work in front of homeowners before they search, which suits visual trades like remodeling, outdoor living, concrete and landscaping. Many contractors run both.
Do you work with contractors outside Austin?
Yes. Ads, SEO and Business Profile work are done remotely. We are based in Austin, Texas, and also work with Austin businesses in person.
