Art Unlimited vs LSM:
Custom strategy, or a machine you own?

  • Their pricing, contract terms, and account-ownership stance: not published. Ask before you sign.
  • LSM: $699 / $1,499 / $2,450 per month, public, month-to-month — the Google Ads account, landing page, and call tracking in YOUR name, forever.

The honest verdict

Decades of craft.
But whose name is on the machine?

Let me be straight with you: Art Unlimited — now rebranding as A-Squared Marketing — has real history. They cite over 40 years of marketing innovation, deep roots in roofing and construction, and a genuinely custom approach: SEO, paid ads across Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, content, branding, even audience “Persona Blueprints.” If your roofing or construction company wants a long-term strategic partner that builds the whole brand picture, that’s a real offer.

But here’s what their site doesn’t tell you: what it costs, how long you’re committed, and who owns the ad accounts and website when the engagement ends. None of it is published. “Custom strategy” usually means custom pricing — which means you negotiate blind. Get the number, the term, and the ownership clause in writing before you sign anything.

We run the opposite playbook: one thing, deep, at a price printed on the page — $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, month-to-month, 7-day full money-back guarantee. The Google Ads account, the landing page, the call tracking numbers get built in your name from day one and stay yours if you cancel. Strategy decks are nice. A lead machine you own is better.

Why this matters

Strategy is what they sell you. Ownership is what you keep.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years. A contractor signs with a custom-strategy agency. Beautiful onboarding, persona workshops, a brand audit. Eighteen months later he wants to see the actual cost per booked job — and discovers the answer lives in dashboards he doesn’t control, in ad accounts that aren’t his, behind a monthly fee that was never written on any public page.

None of that makes an agency bad. It makes the model bad for you — because everything you’re paying to build compounds in someone else’s name. The day you leave, the strategy stays a memory and the machine stays with them.

So we flipped it. Your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers — from day one. Our AI, trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions, manages bids daily; I personally oversee every account; nothing goes live until you approve it. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. And if you cancel? You keep the whole machine. That’s the point.

How LSM AI Works

The honest truth

Agency vs. owning it.

The agency model
  • $2,000–$5,000/month in fees just to manage your account
  • They own your Google Ads account — you start from zero when you leave
  • Random results. No explanation of why.
  • Zero visibility into what they're actually doing
The LSM way
  • From $699/month — less than one job is worth
  • Your Google Ads account. Your campaigns. Your data — always.
  • AI manages it daily. Full transparency — you see every decision.
  • Cancel anytime. Your campaigns stay yours forever.

If this sounds familiar…

You've been burned before.

🔒

They own your accounts. Not you.

The day you leave an agency, your Google Ads account, tracking numbers, and landing page are gone. You spent $30,000 building their asset.

💸

The reports look great. The phone doesn't ring.

Impressions. Clicks. CTR. Beautiful PDF every month. But when you ask how many jobs you closed — nobody has a straight answer.

🤷

You ask a question. You get an email 48 hours later.

You need answers now. A human account manager you can never reach isn't service — it's a subscription to uncertainty.

I built Local Service Mastery because I watched too many great contractors get burned by agencies — overcharged, locked out, left with nothing. So I flipped the model: your accounts, your data, your asset. We build it. You own it.

Good questions

Questions,
answered.

Is LSM a replacement for Art Unlimited?

Not across the board. Art Unlimited (A-Squared Marketing) does branding, content, SEO, and multi-platform ads — we deliberately don’t do SEO retainers, social posting, or branding projects. We do one thing deep: a high-intent Google Ads lead machine you own. If your roofing or construction company needs a full brand-and-content partner more than owned lead flow, they may be your pick — we’ll tell you that honestly on the call.

How much does Art Unlimited cost?

Not published — their site describes custom strategies without listing prices as of July 2026. Ask for the monthly fee, setup costs, contract length, and who owns the ad accounts and website, in writing. Our pricing is public: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month, with a 7-day full money-back guarantee.

Does LSM work for roofing and construction companies?

Yes — roofing is one of our core trades, and the same machine works across construction-adjacent services. High-intent Google Search in your city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.

Do I need a big brand strategy before running Google Ads?

No. Brand work compounds over years — and it’s real. But someone searching “roof leak repair near me” today doesn’t care about your brand book; they care that you answer the phone. We get that call ringing in ~48 hours, in accounts you own. Build the brand in parallel if you want — with anyone you like.

Which plan should I pick?

Start with Starter if you want to get your phone ringing in one city and grow from there — one new campaign gets added each month. Go with Growth if you're ready to cover your full service area right away. Pro adds local SEO, Facebook Ads, and weekly coaching with me directly. If you're still not sure, run the free audit — it'll tell you what to expect in your market.

How fast will my ads go live?

Most clients are live within 48 hours of completing setup. Your LSM AI builds everything, you review and approve, then it goes live. The only exception is if Google requires advanced verification for your category (locksmith, garage door) — that's a direct process between you and Google, and we walk you through it.

What results can I expect?

Depends on your trade, your city, and your ad budget. The free audit gives you a real estimate pulled directly from Google's own Ads data — not a made-up projection. In a medium-to-large market with a $1,000/month ad budget, most clients get 15–40 qualified calls per month. Run the audit first to see what's realistic in your specific area.

Do I really own everything?

Yes. The Google Ads account, the call tracking numbers, the landing page — all built inside your accounts, in your name. If you ever cancel, you walk away with everything you paid to build. That's not a policy. That's the whole point.

Is there a contract?

No contract, ever. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel anytime — if we stop earning your business, you should stop paying.

What if I already have my own call tracking or fraud protection?

No problem. You can connect your existing accounts, or we set everything up fresh for you. Your call — you pick during onboarding.

I'm a locksmith or garage door company. Anything I should know?

Yes — Google requires advanced verification for locksmith and garage door services before ads can run. We build your campaign and all your keywords, but you'll need to complete that verification with Google directly (we walk you through it). If for any reason you can't complete it, you're covered by our full 7-day refund.

Do you work with my trade?

We specialize in home and local services — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, locksmith, garage door, pest control, carpet cleaning, water damage, tree service, and more. Run the free audit and you'll instantly see if we're a fit.

What exactly is my LSM AI account manager?

It's your personal AI marketing manager — trained on 8,600+ real LSM coaching sessions. Sign up and it's ready to go: builds your full campaign setup inside your accounts, reviews everything with you before anything goes live, and stays on 24/7 to answer any question about your campaigns, leads, or marketing strategy. In Lior's exact voice.

What's the 7-day money-back guarantee?

If you sign up and decide within 7 days that this isn't right for you — for any reason — you get a full refund. No hoops. We'd rather lose a bad fit early than keep a client who isn't seeing value.

Stop renting leads.
