FutureNow Marketing (formerly Spark Marketer) Review
Nashville agency (formerly Spark Marketer), owned by AdeptPlus since 2025, focused on chimney, hearth and water-treatment businesses
Quick verdict
FutureNow Marketing (formerly Spark Marketer) is best for Chimney contractors, hearth and fireplace stores, and water testing and treatment companies that want a niche digital agency without a long-term contract. Pricing: Quoted (not publicly listed); its site says no long-term contract is required. No minimum term is published. No public pricing, a narrow niche list (chimney, hearth and water-treatment businesses), and a recent change of ownership to AdeptPlus. Contracts are not long-term, per its site.
About FutureNow Marketing (formerly Spark Marketer)
FutureNow Marketing is the agency that Spark Marketer became. The old sparkmarketer.com address now redirects to futurenowmarketing.com, and Spark Marketer's old YouTube channel is titled 'SM & GMG Are Now FutureNow Marketing'. FutureNow is based at 201 Point East Drive in Nashville, Tennessee, and its site says it has been an agency since 2010.
Since October 2025 FutureNow has been owned by AdeptPlus, a Chicago-based web marketing agency for contractors. AdeptPlus announced the acquisition on October 20, 2025 and said FutureNow's leadership and team would stay in place. The FutureNow site footer now reads 'FutureNow Marketing by AdeptPlus', and clients get AdeptPlus's lead-tracking tools.
The site targets three niches: chimney contractors, hearth and fireplace stores, and water testing and treatment companies. Its services are website design, SEO and AI search optimization, content, Google Ads and an automated review generator, with monthly strategy sessions. For hearth stores it also sells Hearth ProductSync, which pulls manufacturers' product catalogs onto the store's website for a flat monthly fee it does not publish. FutureNow says it has helped more than 300 chimney contractors.
FutureNow does not publish marketing prices, so every engagement is quoted. Its marketing page says no long-term contracts are required.
The trade-off: the niche focus is the point. A chimney sweep, hearth store or water-treatment dealer gets an agency built around its trade, but plumbers, roofers, electricians and HVAC shops are outside the niches its site targets and should confirm fit before engaging.
How it works
FutureNow builds or rebuilds the contractor's website, then runs ongoing SEO and AI search optimization, content and Google Ads, with an automated review generator, lead tracking through AdeptPlus's tools and monthly strategy sessions. Hearth stores can add Hearth ProductSync to keep manufacturer product catalogs current on their site. Pricing is quoted, and the agency says no long-term contract is required.
