Home services marketing that helps
you win the call first.
Home services marketing runs on urgent local searches. HVAC, plumbing, roofing and contractor jobs go to the business that shows up and answers fastest. We build local SEO, PPC, reputation management and quick lead capture for exactly that. It is made for your trade, not copied from a general local-business plan.

Brands our teams have delivered for
PixelCrayons is a marketing agency for home services businesses: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical and general contracting. We run local SEO to get you on the map and PPC for urgent and seasonal jobs. We manage the reviews homeowners check before they call. And we build lead capture that helps you answer fast.

and the results it brought.
Real projects for real clients, with results we can show.
Choose your trade.
The method behind each one is the same.
Each trade has its own page. The local SEO, PPC and reputation work is the same, planned around how that trade gets found and hired. We plan to add more trades, including home improvement and moving companies, and they will get the same pages.
Five problems we solve
for home services businesses.
Each row is a problem that HVAC, plumbing and contractor owners bring us. The service that fixes it is linked, so you can go straight to the detail.
Urgent searches reward the fastest answer
A homeowner with a burst pipe or a dead furnace calls whoever answers first. Ranking well on average is not enough. Our local SEO wins you the spot on the map and the click. We plan how you answer leads with you, because a five-star profile that takes four hours to call back still loses the job.
Demand swings hard with the season and the weather
An HVAC business can get half its yearly leads in two heatwaves and two cold snaps. Our PPC & paid media moves budget to the weeks when demand really jumps. It doesn't spread it evenly across an uneven year.
Badly built service-area pages compete with each other
The same page copied twenty times with the town name swapped competes with itself in search. It wins you less, not more. Our content marketing plans one map of topics across every area you cover, before any page is written.
Homeowners read reviews before they call
A homeowner letting a stranger into their house checks reviews first, every time. Our reputation work, run through reputation & ORM, answers every review. It also gives you a simple way to earn the next one.
Leads are lost at the quote or booking form
A slow form loses a job you had already won. So does a phone number that can't be tapped, or a quote request sent to a general inbox instead of the right crew. Our web development is built for phones first, around the request step.
The services home services
businesses buy most.
Each links to the full service page, with the scope, process, pricing and FAQs. You can judge the work before you talk to anyone.
Running marketing for home-services franchises?
We deliver the same work under partner agencies' brands. You keep your templates and your client calls; we do the work. We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. That protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it is written into the agreement.
Send the website, find out what it's costing you.
We measure one page of your website, its speed on a phone included, and show the three things to fix first. A person reviews the full report. Yours to keep, whether or not we ever speak again.
Speed and licensing
decide who gets the job.
Almost everything we do differently for a home services business comes from one of these.
Licensing and insurance claims have to be provable
Ads and site copy often must show state licence numbers, bonding and insurance by law. A claim you can't back up when asked is a risk, not a selling point. So we ask for the documents before we write a word about them.
Answering fast helps you rank and win the job
Google's local results and the homeowner's patience both reward speed. A call answered within minutes wins jobs that a same-day callback loses. Marketing can win the click, but only your business can win the call. So we say clearly which side each piece of our work sits on.
Seasonal and weather-driven demand needs a flexible budget
A fixed monthly ad budget either overspends in the quiet months or falls short in the rush. So we plan home services ad budgets to rise and fall with demand. We don't set a schedule and forget it.
Your dispatch or CRM software usually can't change
Your field-service or dispatch software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or similar) already runs the business. Lead forms and booking tools have to work around it. Finding its limits halfway through a project is a common cause of rework, and an avoidable one.
Plan all your service-area pages together, before writing
A contractor covering fifteen towns needs those area pages planned together as one map of topics. Then the third town's page won't compete with your main city for the same search. That planning has to happen before pages are written, not after.
Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.
Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.
Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, the work runs in one workspace you log into, whatever your sector: requests, approvals, tasks and the weekly review, with each decision recorded.
- 01
Requests and approvals, in one place
Raise a request in your workspace, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.
- 02
Owned tasks and routines
Every task has one owner and a date. Recurring work runs as a routine, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
- 03
A weekly review with decisions recorded
Each decision is written down with the expectation attached: what we expect to change, and by when.
- 04
Cost per qualified lead, fully loaded
Where we run media, Prism divides media, people, tools and retainers by qualified leads. Unmeasured spend shows as unknown, never zero.
- 05
Every action recorded, checked against the outcome
What we did and what happened sit side by side, so the next review starts from evidence rather than memory.
Our commitments
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
Response and start times
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Full termsClear IP & Ownership Terms
Your materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.
Full termsClear Delivery & Escalation Ownership
Know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Full termsHow will we know what you are doing?
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
Why pay you rather than a local agency?
We quote each engagement in a written proposal, and the initial consultation, standard proposal and straightforward scoping are free. The proposal states the deliverables, exclusions, fees and currency, payment milestones and any third-party costs, so you can compare it line by line with a local quote. You can buy one service or several, and keep the providers you already have.
Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
What if we want to stop?
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
We help you win the click.
Your business wins the call.
Every home services job passes through steps we control and steps only you control. We say which side each piece of work sits on, so nobody is judged on the wrong one.
| What decides the job | Who owns it | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Showing up on the map for an urgent search | Us | Keep your Google Business Profile and listings accurate, and win the click. |
| The reviews a homeowner reads first | Us, with your real customers | Answer every review and give you a simple way to earn the next one. We never buy reviews or fake activity. |
| Service-area pages | Us | Plan one map of topics across every area you cover before any page is written, so pages don't compete with each other. |
| The quote request reaching the right crew | Us, built around your software | Build the request step for phones first, around your dispatch or field-service system. We point out its limits while planning. |
| Licensing and insurance claims in ads and copy | You supply the proof | Ask for the documents before we write a word about them. |
| Answering the call fast | You | Plan how you answer leads with you, because a five-star profile that takes four hours to call back still loses the job. |
We do not guarantee lead or call numbers. We promise the work, and we report on it weekly against calls, form fills and quote requests.
Frequently
asked.
No, and no honest agency does. Lead numbers depend on your service area, competitors, reviews and how fast your team answers. No agency fully controls any of those. What we promise in the contract is the work: campaigns launched, listings corrected and content published. We report on it weekly against calls, form fills and quote requests, not empty traffic.
HVAC, plumbing and general or specialty contracting each have their own page, linked below. Each trade sees the same core problem a little differently. We also work with electricians, roofers and similar trades that fit the same pattern. Tell us your trade and we'll tell you honestly whether we're a good fit.
Yes. An accurate profile and answered reviews are central to local SEO for home services. A homeowner letting a stranger into their house checks reviews first. We won't buy reviews or fake activity. The fix for a thin profile is real activity, not a shortcut that gets it suspended.
We plan the ad budget and content calendar around when your customers really need you. We don't spread spend evenly across an uneven year. An HVAC account, for example, puts more budget into the heatwaves and cold snaps that bring most of the year's calls. We agree this with you in advance, so a change in spend is never a surprise.
Usually, yes. The details depend on what your platform (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or similar) allows. We build the website and forms around your current system instead of replacing it. And we point out its limits while planning, instead of finding them halfway through the build.
Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written, priced proposal. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. If your busy season is close, tell us on the first call and we'll do the quick wins first.
