Honest verdict first: Back At You does what it says well. If you want your Facebook and Instagram consistently active without touching them — listings auto-posted, content every other day — reviewers like it, and at $75–$125/month it’s cheap presence. Keep it if that’s working for you.
But don’t confuse presence with pipeline. Their own plan structure says it: Bronze and Silver are built for impressions and followers, not lead generation. Even Gold — the $400/month lead tier — promises 90 to 140 leads per year from interruption-based social ads.
We work the other end of the funnel: people typing what they need into Google right now and calling the business at the top. That’s the difference between someone scrolling past your listing and someone standing in the driveway with a problem. And we build that machine inside your accounts, so it’s yours forever.

Here’s the thing about social posts — they’re a billboard on a side street. Nice to have. Builds familiarity. But the person who fills your calendar this week isn’t scrolling — they’re typing into Google, and they’re calling whoever shows up first with a page that answers their exact problem.
I’ve coached 500+ local business owners, and the pattern never changes: on Facebook, expect maybe 2 good leads out of 10. On high-intent Google Search, 5–7 out of 10. That’s not a reason to abandon social — it’s a reason to know which machine actually feeds you, and to own that machine outright.
So that’s what we build: your campaign, in your Google Ads account, with a dedicated landing page and call tracking in your name. The LSM AI manages your bids every single day, I personally oversee it, and you approve everything before it goes live. Keep posting if you like — but put the serious money where the buyers already are.

They’re different machines. Back At You automates your social presence — posts, listings, boosted content. We build and run a high-intent Google Ads lead machine that you own. Plenty of businesses keep a cheap social automation running AND run Google Ads for actual lead flow. If your budget only covers one, ask yourself: do I need more followers, or more phone calls?
Per their public plans (hooquest.com review, July 2026): Bronze $75/month, Silver $125/month, Gold $400/month, plus a one-time $149 activation fee. Bronze and Silver are positioned for visibility rather than lead generation; Gold promises 90–140 leads per year. Our plans are $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, month-to-month, no setup fee.
No — and that’s on purpose. We do one thing deep: Google Ads lead generation in accounts you own, managed daily by AI with my personal oversight. On the Pro plan we add Meta Ads too — but built for lead generation with retargeting, not feed-filling.
The machine is the same one we’ve run for 15 years across 500+ local service businesses: high-intent Google Search, one city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. It works for any local business that wins when someone searches and calls — and that includes agents. Run the free estimate below with your city, or book the 15-minute call and I’ll tell you honestly if your market fits.
