Scorpion Review
Marketing agency and technology company for home services, legal, healthcare and franchise businesses; custom quotes and a typical 12-month contract
Quick verdict
Scorpion is best for Home-services businesses, including multi-location and franchise operations, that want websites, advertising, reviews and AI lead intake from one vendor and can commit to a 12-month contract. Pricing: Quoted; not published (Scorpion says the investment depends on your business goals). Minimum: 12-month commitment. No published pricing, a typical 12-month contract for its marketing technology and SEO, and a website that stays on Scorpion's content management system.
About Scorpion
Scorpion is a marketing technology and services company that sells websites, SEO, paid advertising and AI-powered lead intake to local businesses. Its site lists home services (electrical, HVAC, landscaping, pest control, plumbing and roofing), legal, medical and healthcare, and franchise and multi-location businesses as its markets, and Scorpion says it has helped more than 20,000 businesses. Rustin Kretz founded it in 2001, and it lists its headquarters in Lehi, Utah.
For home services, Scorpion's site lists website development, SEO and AI search, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Meta and video advertising, reviews and reputation management, social media, and intake technology that answers calls, texts and chats around the clock and scores leads. It sells these under the RevenueMAX name, reports on the jobs and revenue it attributes to its marketing, and says it integrates with field service management systems. It announced a strategic partnership with ServiceTitan in January 2024.
In April 2021 Scorpion announced a $100 million investment from private equity firm Bregal Sagemount and moved its headquarters from Southern California to Utah. It has since bought other agencies, including legal marketer Get Noticed Get Found (September 2024) and Philadelphia-based 1SEO Digital Agency (June 2026).
Scorpion does not publish prices. Its FAQ says the investment depends on your business goals, that it typically requires a 12-month contract for its marketing technology and some services such as SEO, and that digital advertising (Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Meta) is typically month-to-month. You own your website, including the domain, content and images, once the contract term is complete, but not the content management system it runs on.
The trade-off: Scorpion puts a lot of technology and advertising under one vendor, but you commit to 12 months on the core product without a published price, and your site stays on its platform. Get the quote, the contract length and the cancellation terms in writing, and compare them with a trade-specific agency before you sign.
How it works
Scorpion builds a custom strategy and quote around your growth goals; it does not publish prices. It typically requires a 12-month contract for its marketing technology and services such as SEO, while Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Meta advertising are typically month-to-month. Scorpion says a new website typically launches in four to 10 weeks, and you own the website's domain, content and images once the contract term is complete.
