We do not dabble. Home services is all we do.

Most marketing agencies treat home services as one vertical among dozens. At Ember, it is the only vertical we serve. That focus changes everything.

We only work in this space

Ember is not a generalist agency that dabbles in home services. This is all we do. We know the search behavior, the seasonality, the margins, and the competitive dynamics of the home service market.

Recurring revenue is the goal

We focus on industries with recurring revenue potential: maintenance agreements, service contracts, and repeat customers. That is what builds a business worth owning.

Built for operators at scale

Our clients are not startups. They are operators with crews, with reputations, and with growth ambitions that require a marketing partner who can keep up.

Three channels. One integrated marketing system.

Every Ember engagement covers paid, organic, and owned media. Together, they build a compounding growth engine that no single channel can match on its own.

Built for operators who are serious about growth.

We work with established home service businesses that have the infrastructure to handle more demand and the ambition to capture it.

$1M+ single-location operators

You have built a strong business in your market. Now you want to own it. We build the paid and organic engine that puts you at the top of search and keeps you there as competitors try to catch up.

Multi-location businesses

Expanding into new service areas or adding locations takes a different marketing approach than running one market. We build the strategy and execution that scales across every territory you operate.

Franchise operators

Local franchise marketing within corporate guidelines is a core specialty. We drive real results at the territory level while staying inside the guardrails that your brand requires.

From first call to compounding growth.

A clear four-step process that starts with understanding your business and ends with a marketing system that improves every month.

1

Audit

We dig into your current marketing, your competitive landscape, your service area, and your revenue mix. Every engagement starts with a clear picture of where you stand and where the biggest opportunities are.

2

Strategy

We build a 90-day plan across paid, organic, and owned channels. Budget allocation, campaign structure, keyword targets, and content priorities are mapped before a dollar is spent.

3

Launch

Campaigns go live with full tracking in place. Call attribution, form conversions, and CRM integration are set up from day one so every lead is accounted for and every channel is measured on revenue, not vanity metrics.

4

Compound

Monthly optimization, seasonal adjustments, and regular reporting tied to booked jobs and revenue. The system gets sharper every month as we learn what drives growth in your specific market.

What home service operators ask before getting started.

Straightforward answers about how we work and who we work with.

What types of home service businesses do you work with?

HVAC, plumbing, handyman, pest control, landscaping, and local businesses with recurring revenue potential. If your business depends on repeat customers and local search, we are likely a strong fit.

Do you work with businesses outside California?

Yes. We are based in Lafayette, CA, but we serve home service businesses nationwide. Our local SEO and paid search work is just as effective in Dallas or Denver as it is in the Bay Area.

What is your minimum revenue requirement?

$1M or more in annual revenue. This threshold ensures your business has the capacity to handle the lead volume we generate and the infrastructure to scale effectively with our support.

Do you work with franchises?

Yes, local franchise marketing is a core specialty. We know how to drive results at the territory level while staying within the brand guidelines and co-op marketing structures that corporate requires.

How do you measure success?

Revenue and cost per booked job. Not clicks, impressions, or rankings. Every report we deliver ties marketing activity directly to the outcomes that actually affect your bottom line.

How long is the initial commitment?

Six months. Meaningful growth takes time, and we build for the long term. Paid search moves quickly, but local SEO and owned media compound over time. Six months is the minimum to see the full picture.
