Let me be straight with you: HALSTEAD is a genuine specialist. They work only with landscape, hardscape, pool, and outdoor-living businesses, and clients praise the operation — dedicated project managers, quarterly strategy calls, a 24/7 live reporting dashboard, real video and branding craft. For a high-end outdoor-living builder whose clients buy $150k backyards, that premium multi-channel machine can make sense.
The entry ticket is the thing: plans reportedly start at $4,300 per month plus ad spend. That buys the full bundle — website, SEO, ads, video, email — whether or not you need all of it yet. And as always with bundles, ask the ownership question before signing: if you leave, who keeps the website, the ad accounts, the video assets, the email list infrastructure?
Our entry ticket is $699 — and it buys the part that rings the phone: high-intent Google Ads in your account, with your landing page and your call tracking numbers, live in ~48 hours, month-to-month with a 7-day full money-back guarantee. Public pricing: $699 / $1,499 / $2,450 per month. Cancel anytime; the machine leaves with you.

I’ve watched this movie for 15 years. An outdoor-living contractor falls in love with an agency’s portfolio — gorgeous drone footage, magazine-grade photography, a website that looks like a resort brochure. He signs the premium bundle. The work IS beautiful. But six months and $30,000 later, he’s measuring beauty, not booked consultations — because nobody separated the part that impresses from the part that rings.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: for a local landscape or hardscape company, most new revenue starts with one unglamorous event — a homeowner typing “paver patio contractor near me” and calling whoever shows up. You can capture that with an owned ad account and a landing page that loads fast and says the right things. The cinematic brand layer can come later, funded by real jobs.
So we sell the utility first: your Google Ads account, your landing page, your call tracking numbers — from $699/month, live in ~48 hours. Our AI manages 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. Buy the luxury when the utility is paying for it — and keep both in your name.

The opposite of an agency. We build it inside your accounts. You own it all.
One city or your whole service area. The free audit tells you exactly what to expect in your market.
Your AI marketing manager builds your Google Ads, call tracking, fraud protection, and landing page — inside your accounts. You approve before a single dollar is spent.
Most clients are live within 48 hours. Your AI optimizes bids and keywords daily — results compound over time.
Built on 8,600+ real LSM coaching sessions. Trained in Lior's exact voice.
The moment you sign up, your LSM AI knows your plan, your city, your service. No setup call. No briefing a stranger.
Google Ads. Call tracking. Fraud protection. Your landing page. Built inside your accounts, step by step.

Ask it anything, anytime. 8,600+ real LSM coaching answers. Available instantly.
The day you leave an agency, your Google Ads account, tracking numbers, and landing page are gone. You spent $30,000 building their asset.
Impressions. Clicks. CTR. Beautiful PDF every month. But when you ask how many jobs you closed — nobody has a straight answer.
You need answers now. A human account manager you can never reach isn't service — it's a subscription to uncertainty.
Not sure which plan fits your market? Book a free 15-minute call. I'll tell you honestly if I can help — and if I can't, I'll tell you that too.

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,

Not the whole bundle. HALSTEAD does websites, SEO, video, branding, and email alongside ads — we don’t do any of that. We do one thing deep: a high-intent Google Ads machine you own, watched daily by an AI account manager. If premium creative and a full-channel program matter more to your outdoor-living brand than owned lead flow at a fraction of the price, HALSTEAD may be your pick — we’ll tell you honestly on the call.
Public sources as of July 2026 report plans starting at $4,300 per month plus ad spend. Confirm current plans, contract length, and who owns the website, ad accounts, and creative assets if you leave. Our pricing is public: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month, 7-day full money-back guarantee.
Yes — landscaping and outdoor-living trades are core LSM territory, including high-ticket design-build work. High-intent searches (“pool builder near me,” “patio contractor”) convert to consultation calls fast. 15–40 qualified calls per month typical in a medium market with a $1,000 ad budget — run the free estimate for your market.
It can be — if you’re a high-end brand with the margin to fund brand-building AND the lead flow already handled. The mistake is buying the bundle to solve a lead problem. Leads come from high-intent search; that piece costs $699/month with us and lives in accounts you own. Start there, measure calls, then decide if the premium layer earns its keep.
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.
