Warning
Read This Before You Give Another Marketing Agency
One More Dollar Of Your Money.
Here is exactly how they get you, and I have watched it happen from the inside. You sign up. You pay the setup. Someone enthusiastic gets on a call and says all the right words in all the right order, because that is the one thing they are genuinely world class at.
Then the emails slow down. Then they stop. Your account gets handed to somebody offshore who has never held a tool, cannot pronounce your town, and is running your ads off a checklist. You are paying $10,000 a month for a login you do not understand and a monthly report that says "we are seeing good early signals."
And the phone does not ring.
Or the other version. You go cheap. You buy leads off a platform. Same lead sold to four other guys. You are the fifth to call. You get charged whether they answer or not, whether they read your message or not, whether they ever wanted the job or not. You ask for a refund. Refunds are always denied.
The trade knows. Ask around and you will hear the same sentence I hear on nearly every call I take: "Every trades guy I talk to is like, don't fucking bother."
They are not wrong about the industry. They are wrong that there is no other way to do it. Keep reading, because in about ninety seconds I am going to show you the other way, and then I am going to show you the receipts that prove it works.
Before I tell you who I am
I Could Tell You It Works. Instead, Here Are The Screenshots.
Every single one of these is a real message from a real client, a real Google review with their real name on it, or a real ad dashboard. Go and click the reviews. Verify them yourself. I will wait. In an industry this full of it, the only thing worth anything is proof you can check.
Last updated 8 September 2026.
These are real results from real clients. They are not a promise of what you will earn. What you get out of this depends on your trade, your market, your pricing, how fast you answer your phone, and how well you close. Nobody can guarantee you a number, and anyone who does is lying to you.
Your Build. Two Ways To Run It.
You do not have to choose a package before booking. On your Unfair Advantage Call we work through your average job, close rate, margin and the time you have.
Revenue Rocket
Your marketing is built and managed for you. This is the option for established contractors doing $50K a month or more who want ongoing management. The Revenue Rocket scope and terms below apply to this option.
Build, Training + Support
For owners below $50K a month who want to run their own setup. Your page, ads, CRM and follow-up are built for you. You learn on that setup and get six months of weekly group support. You need time to learn, check your ads and work your leads.
We discuss the package price, ad spend, software costs, scope and handover timing on the call. If neither option makes sense for your business, I will say so.
From $700,000 A Month To Over $2 MILLION A Month.
Same Business. Six Months.
Teeny Tiny Homes were doing about $700K a month when we started. Six months later they were over $2 million a month. Read that again. Roughly three times the business, in six months, without three times the staff and without three times the hours.
I have their written permission to say that, and I have video of them saying it themselves. That is the standard of proof I hold myself to, and it is the reason there are not fifty logos on this page. I will only show you what I can back.
Different trade to yours? Probably. The mechanism does not care. What moved them is the same thing that moves a sparky, a roofer or a landscaper: more of the right people calling, and nobody falling through the cracks between the call and the job.
Now Let Me Tell You Why I'm The One Who Gets To Say That.
I grew up in Banana, Central Queensland. Population about a hundred and fifty, named after a bull that died in a creek. Dairy and lucerne farm. My old man runs a quarry and a concrete business, so I have been around blokes who work with their hands my entire life. I know what your day actually looks like, because I grew up watching it.
I raced motocross. I taught snowboarding. I ran heavy machinery and trained other operators on the Liebherr 9800, which is a very large excavator and a very unforgiving classroom. Then I built a fitness business and sold it. Then I ran new business at one agency, and I was CSO at another.
That last part is the part that matters to you. I have been inside the agencies. I have seen what happens to your account when you are not the biggest client on the roster. You get the junior. You get the offshore VA. You get the template. And you get charged full price for it while the founder you saw on Instagram has never heard your name.
I did not like it. So I left and started Apex, and I built it as the exact opposite of the thing I walked away from.
You work with the person building it. That is me, John. On your call we decide whether ongoing management or a supported handover suits you.
74 Out Of Every 100 Businesses Never Answer A Lead Within Five Minutes.
That Is Not A Statistic. That Is Your Competition.
Read that again, because it is the single most profitable sentence on this page. Three quarters of the businesses you are up against cannot answer the phone fast enough to win the job, and they do not even know it is why they are losing.
In the trades it is almost always the first person to call back who books the work. Not the best. Not the cheapest. The first. Your competitors are on the tools with their phone in the ute, and by the time they listen to that voicemail the homeowner has already booked someone else.
Which means the gap is sitting right there in front of you, wide open, and it has almost nothing to do with how good your work is.
Your follow-up gets built alongside your page and ads, so the next step is ready when an enquiry comes in.

The mechanism
Here's The Part Nobody Sold You.
And It's The Part That Was Costing You The Work.
Nearly every contractor who has been burned was sold one of these three things and then wondered why it did not work. They all have to be there, and they have to be wired to each other. We call them the three Ms.
1. Message
A page built to do one job: turn a stranger into a booked job. Not a brochure. Not an "about us". One page, one offer, one thing to do next, written in the words your customers actually use.
2. Marketing
Google or Meta, picked for how your customers actually buy, not because an agency likes running it. Emergency work is searched for in a panic. Big projects get planned for weeks. Different buying, different channel. Revenue Rocket also includes work on your Google Business Profile and reviews. We spell out the scope for the option you choose before the build.
3. Method
The part nobody sells you. Your CRM keeps enquiries together and your follow-up helps you respond while you are on the tools. We agree the email and consent-based text follow-up included in your package. This is where the money that was already yours stops leaking out.
In the trades it is almost always the first person to call back who gets the job. You do not need to be the best in town. You need to be the one who answers. Most of your competitors physically cannot, because they are on the tools. That is the gap, and that is what we automate.
How We Choose The Right Fit.
We get on a call. Forty-five minutes. I ask you what you charge, what you close, and where the work is coming from now. If the maths does not work I tell you on that call and we shake hands. I would rather lose the job than take your money for something that cannot pay you back.
I build the whole thing. Both options start with your page, ads, CRM and follow-up built for you. Your intake takes about an hour, plus a few phone videos. We agree the scope and timing before you commit. Revenue Rocket is planned to launch within 30 days.
Management or a supported handover. Revenue Rocket keeps the management with me. With build-and-handover, you learn on your own setup and get six months of weekly group support while you run it. You still need to answer leads and quote the work either way.
The offer
What Revenue Rocket Includes.
The Ongoing Management Option.
First, why this offer exists at all. I am one person. I can only run a handful of accounts properly, and the fastest way for me to get more of them is for the ones I have to be so obviously worth it that they tell other contractors. That only happens if you actually make money. So I have built the offer so that I do badly if you do badly. That is the whole rationale, and it is why the terms below look the way they do.
What's in the build
Priced the way you would actually have to buy it: one specialist for the page, another for the ads, someone else for the CRM, someone else again for your Google listing.
$1,800/mo elsewhere$21,600
$1,000/mo elsewhere$12,000
And these come with it
- One trade per town. Once I take you on, I will not take your competitor down the road. That is not a bonus, it is a rule, and it is the reason the roster is small.
- The constraint audit. Before we build anything I ask what would break if I handed you a hundred jobs tomorrow, and we fix that first. Most agencies would rather not know.
- Your team trained on it. When it is built, I train you or your office on how to run it, so you are not renting a black box.
- Your ad accounts are yours. They sit on your card, in your name. If we ever part ways, you take the whole build and every customer record with you.
What it costs
One payment covers the build, and the first two months of me running it.
That is deliberate. By the time we have any conversation about what comes next, you have had sixty days of real numbers in your hands and you already know whether this works.
The exact dollars get talked through on your Unfair Advantage Call, where you can ask me anything you want and I can answer it properly for your trade and your town. Pricing is a conversation, not a pricing-page game.
You will not pay anything like $47,600. Not close to it. And I am not going to put the real number on a page where I cannot explain it, because a price with no context is how contractors end up on the phone to an agency they cannot afford.
You get it on the call, in about ninety seconds, alongside the maths on whether this even works for your trade in your town. If it does not, I will tell you then and we shake hands.
What I will tell you now: there is no long contract. No twelve-month lock-in, no exit fee, no "notice period" designed to hold you for another quarter. You can leave any time. If I need a contract to keep you, I have already failed.
Revenue Rocket management option
Revenue Rocket: The Best-Month Guarantee
Before we start, you tell me your best month of inbound leads from the last twelve months. Your number, in writing, not mine. That is the bar, and you already know it is real because you lived it.
If you have not beaten it by day sixty, I do not walk away and I do not ask you for another cent to keep going. I keep working your account until you are past it.
Straight up, so there is no surprise later. This is a keep-working guarantee, not a money-back one. I am not going to write you a cheque and disappear, because a cheque does not give you a phone that rings.
It also assumes you hold up your end. If the leads do not get answered, no marketing on earth fixes that, and I will tell you so on day one rather than on day sixty.
Anyone in this industry who guarantees you revenue is lying to you. I am guaranteeing the one thing I actually control: I do not stop until you are past your own best month.
You're Probably Thinking One Of These.
So Let's Do Them Now.
"I've been burned before."
We will go through the scope, costs and responsibilities before you commit. Revenue Rocket has the best-month terms explained above. The build-and-handover package is a different agreement; it does not carry that ongoing-management guarantee.
"You're one guy. What if you get hit by a bus?"
Fair, and it is the honest trade-off of not being an agency. Here is what protects you: your ad accounts sit on your card, in your name, I document the build, and your team gets trained on it. If we ever part ways, you take the whole build and every customer record with you. Compare that to the agency that keeps your ad account on their login.
"I don't have time for this."
For the build, your side starts with an intake form and a few phone videos. You also need to answer leads. If you choose to run the ads yourself, allow time for training and ongoing checks. The intake takes about an hour and it is the most useful hour, because everything I write comes out of your answers. I am not going to pretend it is five minutes.
"That's a lot of money."
It is. So on the call we do the maths out loud: your average job, your close rate, your margin. If the numbers say this cannot pay for itself at least twice over, I will say so and we will not do it. I have told people no on that call. It is a better outcome for both of us than taking your setup fee and hoping.
"I need to talk to my partner."
Of course. Bring them on the call, or I will send you a one-page summary with the maths and the terms on it so you are not trying to remember what I said. Any offer that needs you to decide alone on the spot is an offer that cannot survive a second opinion.
"What if you fill my calendar and I can't cope?"
Then we throttle it. You have a tap, and you can turn the leads down as well as up. This is exactly why the constraint audit happens before the build and not after.
Please Don't Book A Call If This Is You.
Do not book a call if any of this is you:
- You cannot set aside time to answer enquiries. A build cannot turn an ignored enquiry into a booked job.
- You want the cheapest option. I am not it, and I am not going to pretend to be.
- You will not answer your phone or return a call within the day. I can make it ring. I cannot make you pick it up, and if you will not, this will not work and I will not take you on.
- You want to hand it over and never think about it again. Both options need your input and time to answer leads. Running it yourself also needs time for training and regular checks.
- You are difficult to deal with. I work with a small number of people for a long time, and life is short. If I would not want to sit next to you at Christmas dinner, I will politely pass.
I would genuinely rather turn you away on an Unfair Advantage Call than take a setup fee off you and have it go badly for both of us. That is not a pitch. It is just cheaper for me.
Here's What We'll Cover On Your 45-Minute Unfair Advantage Call
Whether you ever give me a dollar or not, you are walking away from this call with all of it.
WARNING: the one leak that is quietly costing you more than your entire ad budget
It is almost never the ads. I will show you where it actually is in your business, on the call, using your numbers.
The exact build that took one client from $700K a month to over $2 million
Not the theory. The actual pieces, in the order they went in, and which ones did the heavy lifting.
The mistakes almost every contractor makes when they hire an agency
I ran the desk at two of them. I will tell you exactly what to ask before you sign anything, including with me.
Whether the maths even works for your trade in your town
Your average job, your close rate, your margin. We do it out loud. If it does not clear twice over, I will tell you and we stop there.
The myths the marketing industry keeps selling contractors
Why "more leads" is usually the wrong goal, why cheap leads cost the most, and what actually moves the phone.
No cost, no obligation, and if we are not a fit I will say so on the call rather than string you along.
Forty-Five Minutes. No Pitch. No Pressure.
Then You Decide, And I'll Live With It.
On the call we do your numbers out loud and I tell you whether this works for your trade in your town. If it does, I will show you exactly what I would build. If it does not, I will tell you that instead, and you will have had a free hour of thinking from someone who does this all day.
Either way you get an answer. Right now you have a phone that is not ringing enough and no idea why, and that is the expensive part.
