Let me be straight with you: Contractor Growth Network is one of the more credible names in remodeler marketing. 500+ websites built, a claimed 2.24% conversion rate against a 0.38% industry baseline, 500+ five-star reviews, and — rare in this industry — published pricing. They’re honest about who they’re for: $2M–$7M design-build firms that care deeply about how they’re represented online.
Now look at the check. Their Build package runs $4,900/month for SEO, with a website around $26,000 (a $7,500 bundle discount applies), spread over the first six months. That’s premium-brand economics — and for a $5M design-build firm chasing referral-quality leads over years, it can genuinely pencil. But it’s a brand investment with an SEO timeline, not a lead machine you can turn on this week.
We’re the other tool: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, all-in, no setup fee — a high-intent Google Ads machine built in your account, with your landing page and your call tracking, live in ~48 hours, month-to-month with a 7-day full money-back guarantee. If you need the phone ringing while the brand compounds — or you’re not at $2M yet — that’s us.

I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and I respect what shops like CGN build — genuinely. A design-build remodeler with a beautiful site and compounding SEO is playing a long game that works. But I’ve also sat with too many remodelers six months into a five-figure website build, watching the rankings crawl upward, asking me the same question: “Lior, when does the phone ring?”
Here’s the thing — it’s not either/or. It’s sequencing. High-intent Google Ads are the paycheck; brand and SEO are the savings account. The remodelers who win run the paycheck first, then fund the long game from real revenue instead of hope.
So here’s what we do: a Google Ads machine in your account, with your landing page and your call tracking numbers — live in ~48 hours, from $699/month, no setup fee. Our AI, trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions, manages bids daily; I personally oversee it; you approve everything before launch. 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 everything we build stays yours, even if you leave.

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.
Peace,

No — and I want to be precise about that. CGN does websites, SEO, and brand strategy for design-build remodelers; we don’t do SEO retainers or website redesign projects at all. We build and run a high-intent Google Ads lead machine you own. If a premium brand presence and organic growth matter more to you right now than immediate owned lead flow, CGN may be your pick — we’ll tell you that on the call. Plenty of remodelers could sensibly run both.
CGN publishes pricing — credit to them. Public figures as of July 2026: SEO packages such as Build at $4,900/month, with websites around $26,000 (a $7,500 bundle discount brings a $26,000 site to $18,500), paid monthly with the site build spread over the first six months. Confirm current numbers with them. Ours: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, all-in, no setup fee.
Yes — with an honest caveat. Remodeling is a longer sales cycle than emergency trades, but people still search “kitchen remodeler near me” with real intent, and those calls are winnable. 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 I’ll tell you if your city and ticket size fit.
Yes. CGN is upfront that their sweet spot is $2M–$7M firms. Our model has no revenue minimum: $699/month buys the same owned machine — your ad account, your landing page, your tracking numbers, live in ~48 hours, month-to-month with a 7-day full money-back guarantee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No contract, ever. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel anytime — if we stop earning your business, you should stop paying.
No problem. You can connect your existing accounts, or we set everything up fresh for you. Your call — you pick during onboarding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Check your market, pick your plan, or grab 15 minutes with me. Let's get your phone ringing.
