Introduction to Free Agency

Free Agency is a consultancy, not a traditional marketing agency, designed to empower home service businesses (like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical companies) with marketing autonomy. The core of its offering is helping companies either optimize their relationships with external agencies or build in-house marketing teams to achieve enterprise-level performance. Free Agency integrates technology and CRM systems, like ServiceTitan, directly into marketing platforms, enabling a direct link between marketing efforts and actual revenue generation. This approach ensures campaigns are optimized for higher-quality leads and revenue, not just low-cost leads. For example, rather than focusing on cheap $5 leads, Free Agency emphasizes campaigns that generate high-value conversions—like $10,000 HVAC systems—by aligning ad spend with customer lifetime value.

Core Functions of Free Agency

  • Agency Oversight

    Example Example

    Free Agency audits external agencies to ensure they're performing optimally and delivering the best results, not just providing cheap leads.

    Example Scenario

    If a plumbing company is working with an underperforming marketing agency, Free Agency steps in to scrutinize their processes, dissect reporting practices, and suggest tangible improvements to increase lead quality and ROAS (Return on Ad Spend).

  • Independent Infrastructure

    Example Example

    Free Agency builds and trains in-house marketing teams, offering businesses long-term autonomy over their marketing strategy.

    Example Scenario

    A mid-size HVAC company wants to bring marketing in-house but lacks the expertise to execute high-level campaigns. Free Agency helps hire, train, and optimize a marketing team to handle PPC, CRM integration, and omnichannel strategies.

  • Automation Services

    Example Example

    By integrating tools like ServiceTitan directly with Google Ads, Free Agency helps businesses track and attribute revenue down to the keyword level in their campaigns.

    Example Scenario

    An electrical company uses Free Agency's tech stack to integrate their CRM with ad platforms, allowing them to track the revenue generated from Google Ads prospecting campaigns and make data-driven decisions based on ROAS, rather than just CPL (Cost Per Lead).

Ideal Users of Free Agency Services

  • Small to Mid-Sized Home Service Businesses

    These businesses, typically with revenues between $2M to $20M, need marketing autonomy and scalable growth strategies. Free Agency helps them gain control over their marketing—either by improving agency relationships or by building in-house infrastructure. They benefit from Free Agency's focus on lead quality, not just lead quantity.

  • Large Companies Seeking Scale

    Enterprises and companies aiming for aggressive growth (e.g., targeting 20%+ annual growth) or those preparing for mergers or acquisitions. Free Agency’s approach is ideal for businesses looking to scale beyond $50M in revenue. By integrating CRM and automating ad systems, they help these businesses target the most profitable customers at scale, ensuring efficiency across digital marketing efforts.
