Why contractors are looking for a Scorpion alternative
Premium pricing for standard results
Scorpion is one of the most expensive digital marketing agencies in the contractor space. Monthly fees often reach several hundred to over a thousand dollars per month. Many contractors find the results difficult to attribute directly to Scorpion's work versus other factors like referrals and existing reputation.
Platform dependency and lock in
Scorpion builds websites on their own platform. Your website, your content, and your customer data live inside their system. If you cancel you may not be able to take your website with you. This dependency makes switching costly and gives Scorpion significant leverage in contract renewal conversations.
High touch sales with long commitments
Scorpion is known for an aggressive sales process and long term contracts. Many contractors report feeling pressured into commitments before fully understanding what they were buying. If results disappoint, getting out early can involve penalty fees.
Generic strategies across many industries
Scorpion serves contractors, lawyers, medical practices, and many other verticals. Their strategy and deliverables are not specifically built for the way service businesses like roofers, plumbers, and electricians win local work.

Pay once. Own your website. Keep every lead that comes through it.
We do not charge monthly agency fees. You pay once for the setup and then $12 per month for the lead system backend. That is it. Every website we build includes a quote request form, instant email notifications, automatic Google Sheets sync, a lead pipeline, and source tracking. These are not add ons. They are included in every package. You own the website. You own the leads. You are not dependent on us to keep your business visible online.
One roofing job can cover the entire setup fee. Everything after that is profit.
I take on a limited number of new projects each month. Current availability: June 2026.

Guarantee
If your system does not produce at least three real enquiries in the first 30 days, you get your full setup fee back.
Fair conditions: your page must be live, and you need to be sending real visitors. I help you check this during setup so expectations stay clear.
One of our customers received 13 enquiries on their first day. We set the bar at three because we want to be conservative and fair. Most setups exceed this within the first two weeks.
Common questions from contractors switching from Scorpion
Can I switch from Scorpion to LeadsGrid without losing my rankings?
Yes. We build you a new website that you own. If your Scorpion site has existing Google rankings we take those into account during the build. We ensure your new site has the correct URL structure, meta tags, and redirects in place where needed.
What happens to my website content when I leave Scorpion?
We build your new website from scratch so you are not dependent on exporting anything from Scorpion's platform. If you have content you want to keep such as service descriptions or about page text we can incorporate it.
What is the real monthly cost after setup?
$12 per month for the lead system backend. No agency fee. No retainer. No surprises. Optional monthly maintenance is available at $150 to $350 per month if you want someone to handle ongoing updates and reporting but it is entirely optional.
How long does setup take?
Most setups go live in 3 to 5 business days. You send an enquiry, we reply within 24 hours, agree on the details, and build it.
What is the money back guarantee?
If your system does not produce at least three real enquiries in the first 30 days you get your full setup fee back.
