Let me start with what they get right, because it matters: Prime Media Consulting works month-to-month — their own words: ‘putting the ownership on us to provide excellent results for you.’ No long lock-in. That’s the same bet we make on ourselves, and I respect any agency willing to make it. They know painting contractors, they’ve got offices around the country, and they publish real case-study numbers like a 35% lead increase for a roofing client.
Here’s my honest hesitation: the menu. Websites, SEO, Google Ads, Facebook, social posting, YouTube, review management, corporate video, podcast production, vehicle wraps, graphic design, ADA compliance, a CRM platform. For a painting company doing $500K–$2M, that breadth usually means your budget gets spread thin across ten deliverables — and the one that actually rings the phone gets a fraction of the attention. Also unpublished: pricing, and who owns the ad accounts and website when you leave.
We took the opposite path. One machine: high-intent Google Ads for your painting company, in your account, with your landing page and your tracked numbers, from $699/month — pricing printed right on the page, no setup fee, live in about 48 hours. When one thing gets all the focus, it gets sharp.

Here’s the thing I tell every painting contractor after 15 years of this: when a homeowner has peeling exterior trim or a whole interior to repaint, they don’t follow your podcast. They type ‘painters near me’ into Google and call whoever shows up and answers. The truck wrap, the social feed, the brand video — all real, all secondary. The search ad is where the estimate request is born.
The agency menu model works against that truth. Ten services means ten line items, and the retainer spreads across all of them — a little SEO, a little social, some design hours — while the paid-search campaign, the one asset that produces this week’s estimates, gets managed in the margins. I’ve audited hundreds of accounts that looked exactly like this. The owner wasn’t getting robbed. He was getting diluted.
So we refuse to dilute. LSM does one thing: a Google Ads lead machine for your trade, built in your account with your landing page and your tracking numbers, live in about 48 hours after setup. Our AI manages bids every day, I personally oversee every account, 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. Focus wins. Ownership keeps.

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,

Only for the lead-generation core. Prime Media’s menu includes websites, SEO, social posting, video production, podcasts, even vehicle wraps — we do none of that, on purpose. We do the high-intent Google Ads machine, in accounts you own. If you genuinely need brand assets — a wrap, a video, a new website — more than owned lead flow, they may be your pick, and I’ll say so on the call.
They don’t publish pricing — figures come on a call. To their credit, their painting-contractor services are stated as month-to-month, so you’re not locked into a year. Still: get the fee, what’s included, and who owns the ad accounts and website in writing. LSM’s pricing is public: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, no setup fee, month-to-month, 7-day full money-back guarantee.
Yes — painting is a core trade for us. Interior, exterior, cabinet refinishing, commercial repaints: people search for painters with a job already in mind, which is exactly the intent our machine captures. One city, dedicated landing page, tracked calls, AI bids daily. 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.
Fair question, and credit to them for it. Three differences: pricing transparency (ours is printed on the page; theirs is quote-only), focus (one deep paid-search machine vs a dozen service lines), and ownership (with LSM the Google Ads account, landing page, and tracking numbers are in your name from day one — ask Prime Media in writing what you’d keep on the way out).
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.
