What drives cost

Why your number isn't on this page.

Every contractors business is different. The factors below move pricing significantly in either direction:

  • 01Project specialization — kitchens vs baths vs additions vs general remodeling
  • 02Average ticket size — higher tickets justify more sophisticated marketing
  • 03Crew capacity — campaigns scale with your install capacity
  • 04Service area radius — wider areas cost more to optimize
  • 05Subcontractor dependence — affects messaging and consultation positioning

Note: Contractor sales cycles are longer than service trades. Best AI deployments include sustained multi-touch follow-up beyond the initial bid.
