Comparing CINC? Read this first

CINC vs LSM:
Who owns your leads?

  • CINC: reported $899–$1,299/mo before ad spend — and your leads live inside THEIR CRM.
  • LSM: from $699/mo — the Google Ads account, the tracking numbers, the landing page: yours. Forever.
  • No contract. Cancel anytime and walk away with everything you paid to build.

The honest verdict

CINC is a serious platform.
So is the question of who owns the machine.

Let me be straight with you, because that’s how I’d want it: CINC is not a scam. It’s a mature all-in-one real estate platform — IDX websites, a deep CRM, team routing, the works. If what you want is a big team operating system, it might genuinely be your pick.

But here’s the thing. With CINC, the lead machine — the ad campaigns, the system, the database your leads live in — is theirs. You rent the output. Reviewers report pricing around $899/mo solo and $1,299/mo for teams before ad spend, and it’s not published anywhere — you find out on a sales call.

What we build is different: a Google Ads lead machine that runs in your accounts, in your name, sending calls to your phone. If you ever leave, you keep the whole thing. That one difference changes everything about the next five years of your business.

Why this matters

Don’t rent your lead flow. Own it.

I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and I’ve watched the same movie hundreds of times. A business owner signs up with a big platform or agency. The leads come — great. Then the price goes up at renewal. Or the lead quality dips. Or they want to leave — and discover the ad account, the campaign history, the data, sometimes even the phone number… none of it is theirs. The day they stop paying, the phone stops ringing, and they start over from zero.

That’s not a CINC problem. That’s the model — and almost the entire industry runs on it, because dependency is a great retention strategy. It’s just a terrible deal for you.

So we flipped it. Everything we build — the Google Ads account, the campaigns, the landing page, the call tracking — gets built inside your accounts from day one. Our AI manages your bids daily, I personally oversee it, and you approve everything before it goes live. If we stop earning your business, you cancel — and you keep the machine. That’s not a policy buried in terms. That’s the whole 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.

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 direct replacement for CINC?

Honestly? Not feature-for-feature. CINC bundles a CRM, IDX websites, and team tools — we don’t do that. We do one thing deep: build and run a high-intent Google Ads lead machine that you own, with an AI account manager watching it daily. You can pair it with any CRM you like (or the one you already have). If you need the all-in-one platform more than you need owned lead flow, we’ll tell you that on the call.

How much does CINC actually cost?

CINC doesn’t publish pricing — you get it on a sales demo. Public reviews (agentadvice.com, July 2026) report around $899/month for solo agents and $1,299/month for teams before ad spend, with add-ons like CINC AI ($200/mo) and a dialer ($75/mo) extra. Our pricing is on this page: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, month-to-month.

Can I switch from CINC without losing my leads?

Export your database from CINC’s CRM before you cancel — check your agreement for how. Then here’s the difference going forward: everything we build lives in your accounts from day one, so there’s never another export day in your future. Your leads call your phone and land in your systems.

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.

Stop renting leads.
