Why Contractors Are Switching from Scorpion to AI-Powered Marketing
Scorpion is a well-known name in contractor marketing. But the industry has changed, and there is a better way.
Save $1,000 - $4,000+/Month
Our Smart Site AI Pro at $1,250/mo delivers a high-performance website, monthly SEO, AI lead capture, and strategy calls. Scorpion's comparable packages typically start around $2,000-$5,000+/mo. That savings adds up to $12,000 - $48,000+ per year.
No Long-Term Contracts
Scorpion typically requires 12-month commitments. We operate month-to-month because we believe in earning your business every single month. If we are not delivering results, you should be free to leave. See our transparent pricing.
You Own Your Website
With Scorpion, your website lives on their proprietary platform. If you leave, you typically start from scratch. With our Smart Site AI Pro, your code lives on GitHub and deploys on Vercel. You can take it with you anytime.
2x Faster Website Performance
Our Astro-powered websites score 95+ on Google PageSpeed. Scorpion sites, built on their proprietary platform, typically score 40-60. Google has confirmed site speed is a ranking factor. Faster sites rank higher and convert better.
AI That Works 24/7
Our Smart Site AI Basic AI Voice Agent answers your calls, qualifies leads, and books appointments around the clock. Scorpion provides lead tracking and basic chat, but the AI-powered voice and automated follow-up system is a different level of lead capture.
Fully Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is published for everyone to see: $497/mo for Smart Site AI Basic, $1,250/mo for Smart Site AI Pro. Scorpion requires a sales call to get custom pricing, which can make it harder to compare options and budget accurately.
