Credit first, because they’ve earned it: Funnel Boost Media is a solid operation. Running out of San Antonio since 2012, a 4.9-star average across 257 reviews, Google Partner and Bing accredited, BBB-accredited, a Forbes Advisor ‘Best of 2024’ mention — and unlike big generalist networks, they’re genuinely oriented around local lead generation: local SEO, PPC, conversion-focused web design. Their CRO claim of ‘up to 50% more leads’ from better-converting pages points at something real: most contractor traffic is wasted on weak pages.
Here’s my one raised eyebrow, offered respectfully: the site talks about ‘simple pricing’ and ‘transparent pricing’ — but publishes no figures. Transparency that requires a sales call is a promise, not a policy. Also unpublished: contract terms, and who keeps the website they design, the campaigns, and the tracking when a client leaves. None of that makes them bad actors. It makes them normal for this industry — and it gives you a checklist for the call.
We decided ‘transparent’ should be literal. $699 / $1,499 / $2,450 per month — printed on this page, no setup fee, month-to-month, 7-day full money-back guarantee. And the machine is yours: Google Ads account in your name, dedicated landing page, call tracking numbers — live in about 48 hours, kept in full the day you cancel. That’s transparency you can read, and ownership you can keep.

Here’s a habit I want every local service owner to build, after 15 years of watching this industry: when an agency’s website says ‘transparent,’ scroll for the number. Not the philosophy — the number. If it’s there, you’re dealing with people willing to be compared. If it isn’t, ‘transparent’ is a positioning word, and the real number will be calibrated to your perceived budget on a discovery call. That’s not evil. It’s just negotiation dressed as openness.
Same test for ownership. Every agency says ‘it’s your marketing.’ Fine — ask them to put in writing whose name is on the Google Ads account, who hosts the site they’re ‘designing for you,’ and whose logo is on the call-tracking dashboard. Well-reviewed agencies — and Funnel Boost’s 257 reviews at 4.9 stars suggest they treat clients well — will answer honestly. But you have to ask, because the industry default is agency-held everything.
We removed the need to ask. The prices are printed: $699 / $1,499 / $2,450 per month, no setup fee. The ownership is structural: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your tracked numbers, built in your name from day one — live in about 48 hours, AI-managed daily, personally overseen by me, everything approved by you first. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. Compare us to anyone. That’s the point of this page.

For the paid-search lead machine — yes, directly. But Funnel Boost also does local SEO retainers and full website design; we deliberately do neither. We build one thing deep: high-intent Google Ads in accounts you own, with a landing page and call tracking included. If you specifically want an SEO program or a site rebuild from a well-reviewed shop, they may be your pick — and I’ll say so on the call if that’s what your situation needs.
Their site promises simple, transparent pricing but doesn’t publish figures — you’ll get numbers on a sales call. Ask for the exact monthly fee, the minimum term, and who owns the website, campaigns, and tracking if you leave, all in writing. LSM’s pricing is literally on this page: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month, 7-day full money-back guarantee.
That’s our entire practice — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, garage door, pest control, remodeling and the rest of the trades. One city, dedicated landing page, tracked calls, AI bid management every day. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market below.
It’s a genuinely good signal, and I won’t wave it away. But reviews measure how clients feel while the relationship works; they don’t tell you what happens to your assets when it ends, or what the unpublished price will be for your market. Great reviews plus written answers on price and ownership — that’s a complete picture. We give you two of the three before you ever talk to us.
