We are not an agency.

We are an engineering company.
We built the machine.

CoreLaunch is software built for trade businesses. Your website, built and live in 15 minutes. Your ads, running on Google and Meta the day you sign up. A new SEO article on your site every week. More channels turn on as your budget grows. Built to replace the agency with code.

What we stand against

The trade marketing industry runs on three lies.

Every CoreLaunch design decision exists to kill one of them. None of these are theoretical — they are exactly how most contractors get bled out.

01

The Retainer Trap

Agencies charge $2,500–$5,000 per month before a single dollar reaches a single ad. You pay for the office, the account manager, the pitch deck, and a quarterly pie chart that hides whether the phone actually rang. The work itself is mostly clicking buttons that should have been automated five years ago.

Replaced byReplaced by software. The Engine Room provisions, optimises, and reports — for $99/mo + 12.5% management fee on the spend that actually went to ads. Ad spend itself goes on your own card on Google & Meta, not ours.
02

The Rent-a-Lead Model

Shared-lead platforms sell the same homeowner to three or four contractors at once. You pay $80 for the lead. They pay nothing extra to also sell it to your competitor down the street. You spend your day fighting strangers for a job the homeowner is now using to play you off each other on price.

Replaced byReplaced by ownership. Every lead a CoreLaunch site generates is yours, exclusive, and routed only to you. Your form, your CRM, your customer list — forever.
03

The Reporting Runaround

Monthly slide decks full of chart junk. Impressions up, click-through up, brand sentiment up — but the phone in your truck still hasn't rung in a week. The metrics being reported aren't the ones that pay your crew.

Replaced byReplaced by attribution. Every call, text, and form submission is tracked back to the exact ad that fired it. Lead count is the metric. Everything else is decoration.

Identity

We don’t do account managers.
We do code.

There is no quarterly business review. No mandatory monthly Zoom. No pitch deck waiting in your inbox on Friday. The campaigns are built, optimised, and reported by software — not by a junior media buyer reading off a script.

You flip the switch. The machine runs. The jobs come in.

Email support exists for when something genuinely breaks. We just don’t bill you for an account manager you didn’t need.

Under the hood

The Engine Room.
We do the driving. You hold the keys.

You don’t have to open it. But it’s there if you ever want to look at exactly what the machine is doing with your money.

Ads on the channels your budget unlocks

Your monthly ad budget decides where your ads run. $500/mo = Google Search only. $1k+ = add Facebook retargeting. $2k+ = add YouTube, Maps, and Instagram hunting for new homeowners. Higher budget, more channels — automatic.

Real ads from your job photos

Upload a phone-photo from a job. The engine looks at it (subject, colours, faces) and builds 5 ad sizes — square, portrait, story, landscape, banner — with the headline + caption + call-to-action all written together, on-brand for your trade.

Monthly SEO pages, on auto

Every month the engine writes and ships a new trade-specific page on your site, targeting the searches your highest-value customers actually type. Clean code, Google-friendly tagging, fast loads. Your site gets stronger every month — you don't lift a finger.

Lead attribution that doesn't lie

Every call, text, and form submission tracked back to the exact ad that fired it. The Monday rebalancer reads which ads are bringing the cheapest calls and shifts budget toward them — automatically.

Budget guardrail

A safety layer caps daily spend, watches for runaway campaigns, and alerts you before anything would push you over your monthly budget. Live ad spending is locked behind a kill switch only we can flip.

Walled-off customer data

Every customer's data is walled off at the database — your leads, your accounts, your numbers, never visible to anyone else's. Owner-only tools for health checks and one-off fixes are locked to the founder's email.

Transparency

$99/mo + 12.5%.
That’s every line of the bill from us.

Flat $99/month for access to the engine, plus a 12.5% management fee on whatever your ads actually spent — a number you can verify against your Google & Meta dashboards in 30 seconds. Capped at $2,500/mo so power users don't get punished for scaling. Ad spend itself goes on your card on Google Ads & Meta — your accounts, your ledger. We link to your platforms via Google's MCC and Meta's Business Manager so we can drive the campaigns, but no ad money ever passes through CoreLaunch. No retainers. No creative fees. No setup charges. Want to spread the $99 weekly? Pick that at signup.

Your leads are yours. Your ad account is yours. Your website files are yours. Your domain is yours. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you — no friction, no lock-in, no exit interview.

We stay in business because the engine works and contractors who see results choose to stay. That’s the only model we’re interested in.

If you’re serious about your business,
this was built for you.
