Comparing Back At You? Read this first

Posts don’t ring.
Phones do.

  • Back At You: $75–$400/mo social automation — their Gold plan promises 90–140 leads per YEAR.
  • LSM: typical clients see 15–40 qualified CALLS PER MONTH in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget.
  • Built in your accounts. Your ad account, landing page, and numbers — yours forever. No contract.

The honest verdict

Back At You keeps your feed alive.
We make your phone ring.

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.

Why this matters

Presence is not pipeline.

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.

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.

Who's behind this

I'm Lior. 15 years making sure you never get locked out of your own marketing again.

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 Back At You Media?

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?

How much does Back At You Media cost?

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.

Does LSM handle my social media posting?

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.

Does LSM work for real estate agents, or just contractors?

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.

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.
