The Field Report is a live audit you can run yourself in ninety seconds. The Market Snapshot is a branded one-page PDF we hand-prepare on your business. Some contractors use both.
Type your company name or website into the tool. We pull your Google Business Profile, count reviews, check your website, compare you to the top competitors in your map pack, and give you a score with the top three gaps.
Fill out a short form. Charles researches your specific market, ranks your top competitors, pulls demand stats for your metro, and hand-builds a branded PDF you can share with your partner or your spouse. Usually back within one business day.
These are the six things every fence company needs to have dialed in to win consistently in their market. Both tools grade you on all six. The Market Snapshot goes deeper on each.
Is it verified. Is it complete. Where does it rank in the map pack for "fence company [city]". How many reviews. What's the star rating. Are photos current.
Does it load in under three seconds on mobile. Is it structured for search. Is there a working form. Is the phone number a live tel: link. Is HTTPS enabled.
How many reviews on Google, Facebook, BBB, and Angi. What's the trend line. Are you responding to them. Are the negative ones handled or ignored.
Are you running paid search. Is LSA (Local Services Ads) live in your market. Who else is bidding on fence-related terms in your metro right now.
The top five to seven fence companies in your metro ranked by review count and rating. Where they win. Where the gap is. Where you can move into range fast.
Population growth, new-home construction, migration trends, housing permits. The Market Snapshot pulls four sourced stats about your metro so you can see the size of the pie you're competing for.
Every unanswered call is a job that goes to the next company in the map pack. Slide the numbers to match your business. Nothing sent anywhere. This runs entirely in your browser.
Marketing lives here. Proposals live over there. Invoicing somewhere else. Jobber. Housecall Pro. ServiceTitan. All real tools. None of them talk to your ads, your website, or your reviews.
Most agencies won't tell you what's wrong with your marketing until you've signed a contract. We think that's backward. Here's why we run both tools free for anyone who asks.
The tools show you exactly how we look at a fence business. If our take on your market is smart and specific, that's a signal. If it's generic and template-y, that's also a signal - and you should walk away from us or anyone else who sounds like that.
Nothing kills a first sales call worse than the vendor knowing more about your market than you do. Run the tool. Bring the numbers to the call. Now the conversation is about strategy, not data collection.
Sometimes the report shows a fence company is already dominating their market and just needs a tune-up they can do themselves. We tell them that. Free tools that occasionally cost us a lead are still worth it because the ones that do become clients trust us more.
Field Report needs zero personal info. Market Snapshot needs your email so we can send the PDF back. Neither one drops you into a five-email nurture sequence. If we don't hear from you again, that's fine.
No. Field Report takes zero personal info - not even your email. You run it, you get the results, and unless you click Start the Conversation nothing else happens.
Yes. There's no charge and no card. The reason we can do it free is that Charles reviews every request personally, so if we're already at capacity we'll tell you the queue is a couple days longer than usual. But it doesn't cost you anything.
They work best for fence contractors because that's what we've built them around. Closely adjacent trades (deck, hardscape, tree, some landscaping) can still get useful output. If you're way outside that range, the report will still run but the market comparison will be less specific.
Then you're in good shape. Send us a note and we'll tell you what small tune-ups we'd suggest, or we'll tell you honestly that you don't need us right now. Both happen.
Then you know exactly what to fix. The report calls out the top three gaps and what each one is costing you. You can fix them yourself, hire someone else, or hire us - up to you. The score is meant to be useful either way.
First call is 30 minutes, no pitch. We'll run the Field Report live with you on the call and walk you through what the numbers mean.
