Raise the Trades | Marketing & AI for HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Companies — Indianapolis
Raise the Trades · Indianapolis

Growth without the guesswork.

15+ years in home services. Practical marketing. AI that actually does useful work.

Built for independent HVAC, plumbing, electrical and home-service companies that want to grow without adding more chaos.

More leads won't fix a business that can't hold the ones it has.

01

Find the leak

Before you spend another dollar generating leads, find out what happens to the ones you already have.

02

Fix what matters

Not a 37-point plan. The handful of things quietly costing you customers, across marketing, follow-up, and reputation.

03

Build the system

Better process. Practical automation. A business that captures more of the demand you've already earned.

The Ten Leaks™

Every home service business leaks in the same ten places.

We check all ten, then rank them by what each one is costing you. Here are six most shops recognize immediately:

02

Missed Calls

The homeowner calls. Nobody answers. They call the next name.

05

Dead Estimates

Usually the biggest leak in the building. The quote goes out. Nothing chases it.

04

Slow Quotes

The lag between the visit and the number. Close rate drops with every day.

08

Missing Reviews

Rating isn't the game. Velocity is. A slower competitor with more reviews wins.

09

No Referrals

The cheapest new customer, left idle because nobody asked.

10

Forgotten Customers

Past customers go cold while competitors keep marketing to them.

You probably don't need more leads.

You need to answer more of them.
Follow up with more of them.
Close more of them.
Get more of them to come back.

Then we can talk about buying more.

From first search to repeat customer.

Get found by the right homeowners

Local search, Google Business Profile, and paid demand, built around profitable jobs, not traffic reports.

Stop losing the leads you've paid for

Missed-call recovery, speed-to-lead, booking, and follow-up. A second lead doesn't help if nobody answered the first one.

Turn more estimates into jobs

Consistent estimate follow-up, so good opportunities don't disappear because everyone got busy.

Make your best customers worth more

Reviews, referrals, and reactivation that keep the customers you already have working for you.

And where it makes sense

Put AI to work where it actually helps

Not a strategy deck. Answering calls, following up, and cutting the busywork out of your office.
