Are you getting more calls — or just more invoices?
Stay with Scorpion if you're a large multi-location operation already seeing results you're happy with, or you're locked into a contract and the leads are covering the cost.
HVAC contractors who want more calls, busier techs, and a team that earns your business every month — not a contract that locks you in.
Scorpion has been around a long time — but longevity doesn't book your techs. Their size means rotating account managers, a generalist playbook shared with law firms and dentists, and 12-24 month contracts that lock you in whether the leads are coming or not. If you leave, you lose your website — it's built on their proprietary CMS. And contractors report lead quality issues: high volume, but wrong-fit calls that waste your techs' time. We only work with HVAC contractors. Every campaign is built on what actually drives calls in your industry. You own your website. And if your techs aren't busier in 90 days, we've failed.
That's the guarantee. We build HVAC-specific campaigns — the right keywords, the right ad copy, the right landing pages for AC repair, furnace installation, and maintenance agreements. Every call is tracked and recorded so you can see exactly what's working. If your phone isn't ringing more in 90 days, we've failed — not you.
Scorpion uses custom pricing, but reported monthly retainers range from $10,000-$25,000+ with setup fees of $5,000-$50,000 and minimum ad spends of $5,000-$15,000/month. First-year costs can exceed $200,000. One client reported paying $10,000/month under the promise of SEO growth and lead generation — and said Scorpion "failed to deliver on their promises" with no improvements in rankings, traffic, or qualified leads. We start at $2,000/month, no contract.
This is the biggest issue contractors don't know about until it's too late. Scorpion builds your website on their proprietary CMS platform. If you leave, you can't take it with you — you have to rebuild from scratch. One industry analysis noted clients "cannot access backend code, transfer the site to other hosting, or work with outside developers." With us, you own your website. Period.
Scorpion typically requires 12-24 month contracts. One contractor reported a $24,000 buyout clause just to leave. Many business owners report difficulty exiting mid-contract even when results aren't there. We operate month-to-month — cancel with 30 days notice, no penalties, no buyout. If we're not keeping your techs busy, you should be able to leave.
At $10,000-$25,000+/month with setup fees and ad minimums, Scorpion is built for large multi-location operations. For a single-location HVAC company, that's enterprise pricing for a generalist approach that splits focus across law firms, dentists, and home services. A specialized HVAC agency typically drives more of the right calls at a fraction of the cost.
This is a common complaint. Contractors report high lead volume but poor quality — wrong-fit calls, people looking for free consultations, and jobs that don't match what you actually do. One PPC client found their site ranking for irrelevant terms like "free consult" and "cheap" services. HVAC-specific campaigns target the exact services you offer in the areas you serve, so the calls that come in are jobs your techs can actually run.
Ask yourself three questions: Are your techs busier? Do you own your own website? Could you leave tomorrow if you wanted to? Contractors switch from Scorpion because the contracts lock them in, the website isn't theirs, the leads include too many wrong-fit calls, and the account manager changes every few months. If you want more of the right calls, a website you own, and a team that earns your business month to month — that's why contractors switch.
