Funnel Boost vs LSM:
Which ‘transparent pricing’ can you actually read?

  • Funnel Boost Media: San Antonio agency since 2012 — local SEO, PPC, web design, CRO — with a 4.9-star rating across 257 reviews and a Forbes Advisor nod.
  • Their site promises ‘simple, transparent pricing’ — but no actual figures are published. You get numbers on a call.
  • LSM: the numbers ARE on the page — $699 / $1,499 / $2,450 per month, month-to-month, and the ad account, landing page, and tracking numbers are YOURS forever.

The honest verdict

A well-reviewed local lead-gen shop.
‘Transparent pricing’ should survive contact with the pricing page.

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 Also unpublished: contract terms, and who keeps the website they design, the campaigns, and the tracking when a client leaves.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.

Why this matters

If the pricing page has no prices, keep asking questions.

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.

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.

Good questions

Questions,
answered.

Is LSM a replacement for Funnel Boost Media?

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.

How much does Funnel Boost Media cost?

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.

Does LSM work for home-service companies like Funnel Boost’s clients?

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.

Funnel Boost has 257 reviews at 4.9 stars — doesn’t that settle it?

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.

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.
