Hook Agency

Established plumbing contractors ($2M+ revenue) prioritizing brand and organic growth
Best for
$2M+ revenue contractors
Pricing
Custom quote required
Team scale
Mid-size agency
Hook Agency targets the top 5% of growth-mode plumbing and home service contractors, with an explicit revenue floor of $2M or more. Their core offering pairs custom WordPress websites with SEO and Google Ads in an integrated system, built on the premise that design and organic search work better together than as separate engagements. They operate without long-term contracts and give clients access to live reporting dashboards. The agency publicly cites 170+ five-star Google reviews and shares named case study results showing lead growth percentages across their contractor clients.
Strengths
- Deep contractor focus across plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and electrical with a consistent methodology
- No long-term contracts; live reporting dashboards visible at any time
- Named client case studies with verifiable lead growth metrics
Considerations
- The $2M+ revenue threshold makes them a poor fit for smaller or earlier-stage plumbing operations
- Pricing is not transparent; requires a strategy call to get any number
- Primarily web and SEO focused; less emphasis on paid media, LSA, or reputation management
Rival Digital
rivaldigital.com
Home service contractors wanting a single agency covering all digital channels
Best for
Multi-channel operators
Pricing
Custom quote required
Team scale
Mid-size agency
Rival Digital describes itself as a home services-exclusive agency. Their founder Eric Thomas authored a methodology book called The HOME Advantage, and the agency holds partnerships with Nexstar Network, which signals credibility within the trades ecosystem. Their service stack covers AI search optimization, organic SEO, LSA management, PPC, social media, and email marketing, all under one contract. They serve plumbing alongside HVAC, electrical, roofing, and several adjacent trades.
Strengths
- Exclusive home services focus across multiple trade verticals with a founder-backed methodology
- Nexstar Network affiliation builds trust with growth-oriented contractors
- AI search optimization included as a standard service offering, not an add-on
Considerations
- Not plumbing-exclusive; attention is distributed across multiple trades simultaneously

- Three consecutive Inc. 5000 rankings signal genuine and sustained company growth
- Full service stack including reputation management and call tracking, all trade-specific
Considerations
- Serves only plumbing, HVAC, and electrical; not a fit for contractors who also do roofing or restoration
- The domain redirect from plumbingandhvacseo.com to plumberseo.net may reflect a recent rebrand still in progress
- No specific dollar-amount case studies publicly listed; retention rates are the primary proof point
RYNO Strategic Solutions
rynoss.com
Multi-location plumbing contractors using ServiceTitan who need enterprise-grade analytics
Best for
ServiceTitan users, $5M+ revenue
Pricing
$5,000+/month stated publicly
Team scale
Large agency (Blue Corona merger)
RYNO Strategic Solutions formed from the 2024 merger of Blue Corona and RYNO, two of the most recognized names in contractor marketing. Their proprietary RYNOtrax2.0 platform integrates with ServiceTitan and 30+ ad channels, connecting every lead to a booked job with attribution across the full funnel. Clients own their websites and all data outright. Published results include a 72% qualified lead increase year-over-year for Hometown Plumbing and a 77:1 SEO ROI for another client. They layer CSR coaching on top of marketing to address conversion gaps.
Strengths
- Full-funnel approach: marketing plus CSR coaching plus revenue attribution in one partner
- Client owns their website and all digital assets with no platform lock-in
- Deep ServiceTitan integration connects ad spend to booked revenue
Considerations
- Scale of the combined agency may mean less personalized attention for single-location operators
- Entry investment of $5,000+/month positions them well above smaller operators' marketing budgets
- The Blue Corona to RYNO rebrand is recent; some continuity questions remain in the market
Scorpion

Larger or multi-location plumbing operations wanting a technology-platform approach
Best for
Multi-location, franchise systems
Pricing
Enterprise inquiry required
Team scale
Large technology company
Scorpion is a large-scale digital marketing technology company serving home services alongside legal, healthcare, and franchise businesses. Their plumbing offering includes websites, SEO, paid search, reputation management, and a proprietary AI platform that allocates marketing spend in real time based on performance data. The technology differentiates them from pure-service agencies. Their scale is significant; they are a technology-first company with hundreds of employees and thousands of clients across multiple industries.
Strengths
- Proprietary AI platform that auto-adjusts ad budgets in real time based on incoming lead performance
- Significant resources and infrastructure from serving thousands of clients across multiple verticals
- Enterprise-grade technology stack suitable for franchise systems and multi-location operations
Considerations
- Not plumbing-exclusive; serves dozens of industries which limits trade-specific depth
- Technology-platform model can feel impersonal for owner-operators who want direct relationships
- Dedicated plumbing landing pages returned 404 errors at time of research, suggesting lower niche investment
Strictly Plumbers
strictlyplumbers.com
Plumbing contractors of any size who want a trade-built partner beyond just marketing
Best for
Plumbing only, all sizes
Pricing
Custom quote required
Team scale
Boutique specialist
Strictly Plumbers is a marketing agency built and run by a former plumber with 15 years of hands-on trade experience. They report 500+ plumbing companies served and offer a full suite covering web design, SEO, PPC, Google Guarantee, Facebook ads, phone tracking, and an AI chatbot called The Plumber Bot built specifically for plumbing service conversations. Beyond marketing, they also offer business coaching, sales training, and virtual dispatch services, which puts them closer to a full plumbing operations partner than a traditional agency.
Strengths
- Founded and run by an ex-plumber with 15 years in the trade; genuine operational credibility
- Proprietary AI chatbot built for plumbing-specific lead conversations
- Breadth of operational support including coaching, dispatch, and sales training alongside marketing
Considerations
- The 500+ clients claim is strong but specific case study metrics were not surfaced on the website
- Team size, capacity, and agency structure are not disclosed publicly
- The blend of marketing and operational services may dilute focus in either area
Built-Right Digital
builtrightdigital.com
Plumbing contractors who want transparent, predictable pricing without a sales call
Best for
Any size, budget-conscious
Pricing
$1,199 to $19,999/month (public)
Team scale
1,000+ clients served
Built-Right Digital publishes four public pricing tiers ranging from $1,199 to $19,999 per month, which is rare in the home services marketing industry and eliminates the discovery call required just to understand costs. Their plumbing service covers local SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, website design, and listing management. They report 1,000+ clients across home services verticals with a 4.9-star rating and 5+ year average client tenure, which suggests strong retention relative to industry norms.
Strengths
- Publicly listed pricing tiers remove friction from the evaluation process entirely
- 5+ year average client tenure suggests the retention numbers are genuine, not marketing
- Home services focus across multiple trades with plumbing-specific service pages and campaign strategy
Considerations
- Serves HVAC, roofing, electrical, and other trades alongside plumbing; not plumbing-exclusive
- The $1,199/month entry tier may deliver limited scope in competitive plumbing markets
- Specific plumbing revenue or lead case studies were not prominently featured at time of research
Sequoia GEO
sequoiageo.com
Growth-stage plumbing contractors ($2M–$15M) who want an operator-perspective partner
Best for
$2M–$15M revenue contractors
Pricing
30-day trial, no long-term contract
Team scale
10-client cap, principal-led
Sequoia GEO is a boutique fractional CMO and growth operations firm founded by Aaron Husak, who built Balanced Comfort HVAC from a solo operation to $17.2M in annual revenue and four consecutive Inc. 5000 rankings (2020–2023). The firm serves HVAC, plumbing, and home service contractors doing $2M to $15M, with a deliberate cap of 10 active clients to maintain hands-on attention. Marketing services include Google Ads, LSA, local SEO, GBP management, and web design, but the core differentiator is treating marketing as a revenue pipeline and auditing booking rates, CSR performance, and conversion gaps alongside campaign execution.
Strengths
- Only agency on this list where the founder built and operated a $17M+ home service company with Inc. 5000 recognition
- 10-client cap ensures principal-level attention rather than junior account manager handoffs
- Revenue attribution connects past the lead: booking rates, CSR call quality, and appointment data
Considerations
- Intentionally limited capacity means availability may be restricted at any given time
- Boutique structure means fewer proprietary technology tools and platform integrations than larger agencies
- Newer brand with less market recognition than agencies who have been marketing themselves for a decade
How to Choose the Right Agency by Revenue
The right agency depends heavily on your current revenue and what problem you are actually trying to solve.
Look at Built-Right Digital (transparent pricing, lower entry point) or Strictly Plumbers (plumbing-only with operational coaching). Avoid agencies with $5K+/month minimums until the revenue supports the investment.
Hook Agency, Rival Digital, and Plumbing & HVAC SEO are all solid options with documented contractor track records. Sequoia GEO is worth a conversation if you are actively trying to scale and want an operator-perspective partner, not just a vendor.
At this scale, attribution becomes critical. RYNO's ServiceTitan integration and CSR coaching layer make sense if you need to connect marketing spend to booked revenue, not just lead counts. Sequoia GEO fills a similar gap if you want a principal-level relationship rather than account managers.
Scorpion and RYNO are the natural fits at this scale. The technology infrastructure and team depth they offer matches the operational complexity of a large multi-location plumbing operation.
