Let me be straight with you: Contractor Commerce is a genuinely clever product. It bolts a working online store onto your HVAC or plumbing website — filters, tune-ups, maintenance plans, even instant system quotes. Contractors on their own blog report getting a store live and selling within about 48 hours. If you want to sell filters and memberships online, it does that job.
But here’s the thing a store can’t do: make anyone show up. An e-commerce widget converts the traffic you already have. If your website gets 40 visits a month, a beautiful checkout flow is a beautiful empty aisle. And their pricing isn’t published — you find out on a demo call.
What we build is the other half of the equation: a Google Ads lead machine in your own account, with your own landing page and call tracking, that puts homeowners searching for your service right now in front of your phone number. $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month — public, month-to-month, no setup fee. Honestly? Run our machine for the calls and bolt their store on top if online sales matter to you. They’re not enemies. But traffic comes first.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years: an HVAC owner buys a shiny new tool for the website — a chat widget, a booking button, an online store — and then waits. Three months later he calls me confused. The tool works fine. The problem is that nobody’s walking into the store. His site gets a trickle of visits, mostly people who already know him.
Tools that convert traffic are the second purchase. The first purchase is the traffic itself — and for a local service company, the highest-intent traffic on earth is a homeowner typing ‘AC repair near me’ with sweat on their forehead. That’s Google Search, and that’s all we do.
We build the whole machine inside your accounts: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers. Our AI — trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions — manages the bids daily, I personally oversee it, and you approve everything before it goes live. 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 ever cancel, the machine stays yours. Then, if you want an online store on top? Great. Now it has customers.

No — and I’ll say that plainly. Contractor Commerce is an e-commerce layer for your website; we’re a lead-generation machine. They solve ‘how do visitors buy filters online’, we solve ‘how does the phone ring’. If online product sales matter to your HVAC company, you could genuinely run both. But if you have to pick one problem to solve first, it’s traffic — a store without visitors sells nothing.
They don’t publish pricing on their site — you get it on a demo call. Ask for the monthly fee, any transaction fees, and the contract terms before signing. Our pricing is public on this page: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, month-to-month, no setup fee, 7-day full money-back guarantee.
HVAC is one of our core trades — 15 years, 500+ local service business owners coached, $20M+ client revenue across HVAC, plumbing, electrical and more. The machine is high-intent Google Search in one city, a dedicated landing page, call tracking, and 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.
Yes, and for some HVAC companies that’s the right stack. We drive the calls and the visits through Google Ads you own; their store converts some of that traffic into filter subscriptions and maintenance-plan sales. Nothing we build locks you out of adding tools to your own website — because the website and the accounts are yours.
