Comparing Growth Digital HUB? Read this first

They measure cost per call.
We also answer: whose machine is it?

  • Growth Digital HUB: plans start at $500/mo, cost-per-call reporting, contractor focus — real strengths.
  • But Google Ads management sits in their higher ‘Pro’ tier. At LSM, the FULL machine is every tier.
  • LSM from $699/mo: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking — owned forever.

The honest verdict

They speak the right language.
Read the tier sheet before you sign.

Let me be straight with you: Growth Digital HUB gets more right than most. They publish a starting price — plans from $500/month — which almost nobody in this industry does. They report on cost per call instead of vanity rankings, they show real numbers like an $8.19 cost per call from one Google Business Profile, and they focus on roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and remodeling. Multilingual support too. Credit where it’s due.

Here’s the fine print to understand: the $500 Starter tier is Google Business Profile management. SEO arrives in the Growth tier, and Google Ads — the channel that actually makes the phone ring this month — arrives in the Pro tier, price unpublished. So the headline number and the lead machine are different products. Also unstated publicly: who owns the ad account and the landing pages if you leave. Ask.

At LSM there are no tiers of the machine — every plan IS the machine. $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, all public: done-for-you Google Ads in your account, your dedicated landing page, your call tracking numbers, daily AI bid management, live in ~48 hours after setup. Month-to-month, no setup fee, 7-day full money-back guarantee — and everything stays yours if you cancel.

Why this matters

The right metric, the wrong architecture, and the tier sheet in between.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years: an HVAC owner sees ‘plans from $500/month’ and signs up, thinking he’s buying a lead machine. What he bought was the entry tier — profile management, maybe some SEO. The channel that actually produces calls this month lives two tiers up, at a price he learns later. Nobody lied to him. He just didn’t read the tier sheet like a contract, which is what a tier sheet is.

And there’s a second question the tier sheet never answers: when you cancel — and every relationship ends eventually — what walks out the door with you? If the Google Ads account, the landing pages, and the tracking numbers were built under the agency’s roof, the answer is nothing. Your cost-per-call history, the data that makes every future click cheaper, stays behind.

So here’s our architecture: one product, no tiers of the machine. Your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking — in your name from day one. Our AI, trained on 8,600+ real coaching sessions, manages bids daily; I personally oversee every account; you approve everything before launch, live in ~48 hours after setup. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market. Cost per call is the right metric. Owning the machine that produces it is the right architecture.

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 Growth Digital HUB?

For the paid-search lead machine, yes — that’s our entire product, at every price tier. For GBP management and SEO retainers, honestly no: we don’t sell those as standalone services. If organic visibility work is your bigger need than owned paid lead flow, their Growth tier may be your pick — we’ll tell you that straight on the call.

How much does Growth Digital HUB cost?

They publish ‘plans start at $500/month’ — which to their credit is more transparency than most. Know what the tiers mean: Starter ($500) is Google Business Profile management; SEO comes in the Growth tier; Google Ads management comes in the Pro tier, whose price isn’t published. Ask for full tier pricing and ownership terms. LSM: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, all public, all including the full Google Ads machine.

Does LSM work for roofing and HVAC companies like Growth Digital HUB?

Same trades, same battlefield — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, remodeling. High-intent Google Search in your city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. 15 years, 500+ local service business owners, $20M+ client revenue. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.

What’s a good cost per call for a contractor?

It varies wildly by trade and city — an $8 cost per call is possible from a well-run Google Business Profile in some markets, while competitive emergency trades can run $40–$80 per call on paid search and still be wildly profitable on a $400 average ticket. The number that matters is cost per BOOKED JOB against your ticket size. Run our free estimate for your market and you’ll see realistic call costs before spending a dollar.

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.
