What stands out most about Free Agency is that they continually adjust the strategy based on real data and results instead of just setting campaigns and forgetting about them. It feels like our marketing finally has a real direction behind it.

I’m the owner of an HVAC and Plumbing company. We provide residential heating and air conditioning services in Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on quality work, customer satisfaction, and environmental responsibility.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Free Agency?

We needed a CMO to help grow our business, improve our ROI, manage our vendors, and build and implement our strategy. We were lacking performance marketing reporting and had no idea where to scale or how.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Free Agency provides marketing strategy, vendor management, and performance reporting. The team has delivered an annual marketing game plan integrated with our Service Titan data, an in-depth performance marketing dashboard, and attribution reporting.

Free Agency was hired as our fractional CMO after cycling through multiple agencies that overpromised and underdelivered. The engagement covers full marketing strategy, vendor management, and performance reporting. What sets them apart is depth of involvement.

What is the team composition?

We work with one teammate from Free Agency, our CMO. However, she has a full team at Free Agency that also support us.

How did you come to work with Free Agency?

I've been referred to Free Agency multiple times. I chose them over other options because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, and aligned company values.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Free Agency in March 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen ongoing improvement in our ROAS. We had our record-breaking months almost immediately, and the efficiency of our spending continues to improve month over month. We had our second-highest revenue month under Free Agency's management. The team has expanded our marketing sources, which immediately began to outperform many of our existing channels with ROAS up to 10x.

Moreover, we have clean, attributable data for once. The reporting is tied to ROAS and actual revenue, not impressions or other vanity metrics. For the first time, we trust the numbers we're looking at. We can see which campaigns are burning budget in zip codes that don't convert and which channels are producing real booked jobs. Free Agency's team handled the setup, and the dashboards became part of our weekly routine fast.

Our CMO understands our seasonality, our technician-level repeat revenue, and which campaigns were wasting spend in the wrong zip codes. She manages our vendors so we don't have to, and she pushes back on us when our own decisions don't hold up against the data. Measurable results: we went from a small handful of lead sources to a diversified channel mix, with several new channels already outperforming legacy ones. Reporting is tied to ROAS and actual revenue, not impressions or other vanity metrics. For the first time we trust the numbers we're looking at. Would recommend to any home services company doing real volume that's outgrown the typical agency relationship.

How did Free Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Free Agency delivers on time. We communicate via virtual meetings.
