RATE CARD · NO SALES PITCH REQUIRED

What it costs, before we ever talk.

Most agencies make you sit through a pitch to hear a number. Here are ours. Your exact price depends on three things: how competitive your market is, how many locations you run, and how much ad spend we manage. Same inputs, same price, every client. Month to month after the first 90 days, and you own everything we build.

Ad spend is separate, paid straight to Google or Meta on your card. Never marked up.

One good job pays for this.

THE MATH

A Bay Area HVAC replacement runs $15K to $25K. A repipe, $8K to $15K. If our work books you one additional high-ticket job a month, every package on this page pays for itself several times over. That is the bar we hold ourselves to, and it is why we report revenue, not impressions.

No lock-in

Month to month after 90 days. We keep clients by performing, not by contract.

No markup

Ad spend goes straight from your card to Google and Meta. You see every dollar.

No hostages

Your profiles, ad accounts, content, and customer list are yours. If you ever leave, everything goes with you.

No surprises

Your plan spells out exactly what we deliver each month before you sign. You always know what's included, and we always deliver it.

Pricing questions, straight answers

FAQ
How much does home service marketing cost with Ember?

Foundation starts at $1,750 per month, Growth at $3,000, and Market Leader at $6,500. Your exact number depends on how competitive your market is, how many locations you run, and how much ad spend we manage, and we set it in your plan before you sign. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google or Meta on your card, never marked up. One-time setup runs $750 to $1,500 depending on the package.

Why a range instead of one price?

Because a fixed price either overcharges small operators or underserves big ones. The range prices the actual work. Same inputs, same price: two clients with the same footprint and market pay the same rate.

How often will we meet?

Every package includes a monthly check-in, because we want to know how each client is actually doing, not just what the dashboard says. Foundation gets a 15-minute monthly check-in plus a monthly video report you can watch anytime. Growth adds a quarterly strategy call. Market Leader has a standing monthly call with the founders. Something urgent never waits for a scheduled call.

Why publish pricing when most agencies hide it?

Because hiding prices wastes your time and ours. If the numbers work, we talk. If they don't, no awkward call required.

Am I locked into a contract?

The first 90 days are committed, because real marketing takes at least that long to prove itself. After that, month to month with 30 days notice. You own everything we build either way.

Which platforms are included?

Foundation and Growth are built around Google: Business Profile, Maps, Search, Local Services Ads, and AI search. That is deliberate. Google is where home service jobs get booked, and we would rather dominate it than dabble everywhere. Meta ads come in at Market Leader. Every platform beyond that (Yelp Ads, Nextdoor, TikTok, and so on) is scoped and priced in your plan, because each added platform means its own creative, management, and reporting. If a platform won't book you jobs, we will tell you to keep your money.

Is ad spend included?

No. Ad spend goes directly from your card to the platforms, so you always see exactly what Google and Meta charge. Growth manages up to $5,000 per month in spend; above that, Market Leader adds 10 percent of spend over $5,000.

Which package is right for me?

Living on referrals and need to show up in search? Foundation. Crews to keep busy and ready to invest in ads? Growth. Multiple locations or ready to own the market? Market Leader. Book a fit call and we will tell you straight, even when the answer is the cheaper package.
