Scorpion is a full-service marketing agency for home service, legal and healthcare businesses. It does not publish prices, and its own FAQ says SEO and marketing work typically comes with a 12-month contract. The concern raised most often is that your website runs on Scorpion's own platform, so if you leave, you keep your domain and content but need to rebuild the site somewhere else.
Prices checked October 2026. Scorpion gives quotes case by case, so ask Scorpion directly for current pricing and terms.
What Scorpion is
Scorpion is both a marketing agency and a technology company. It builds websites on its own system and offers SEO, paid search ads, display and social ads, and Local Services Ads management. It also sells AI chat, online scheduling, AI voice and text assistants, video and photo work, and lead tracking.
Agency roundups often describe Scorpion's best fit as larger contractors, commonly cited as $2 million or more in yearly revenue and often with more than one location. Those shops tend to want one vendor running ads, SEO and Local Services Ads together.
What Scorpion costs
Scorpion does not list prices. Its FAQ says the investment you decide to make depends on your business goals. That is normal for a custom agency, but it makes comparing hard.
| Item | What Scorpion says | What others report |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | Not published; depends on your goals | $1,500 to $10,000 or more a month plus ad spend (Rebolt, a competitor, citing unnamed client reports) |
| Setup fee | Not published | $5,000 to $50,000 (Rebolt, a competitor, no source given) |
| Contract | Typically 12 months for marketing technology and SEO; ads typically month-to-month | 12 to 24 months with early exit penalties (Rebolt, a competitor) |
| Ad spend | Paid on top of agency fees | Same |
Be careful with the reported numbers. They come from Rebolt, which sells a competing product, and it does not name its sources. Treat them as a rough guess, not Scorpion's price. The only way to know your real cost is to get a written quote.
What reviewers say about Scorpion
We are not listing a star rating for Scorpion in this article. Instead, we report what Scorpion's own FAQ says and what review roundups say. Most of the roundups we found were written by other marketing companies, so keep that in mind as you read them.
What Scorpion does well
Based on what Scorpion offers, here is where it can make sense for a contractor.
- It covers a lot under one roof, including website, SEO, paid ads, Local Services Ads, video and AI chat and voice tools.
- It manages Local Services Ads, which many busy owners find hard to run well on their own.
- Its FAQ says paid ads are typically month-to-month, so you are not always locked in on the ad side.
- Its FAQ says you own your domain, content and images after the contract ends.
- It has tools for lead tracking and routing, which helps bigger offices see where calls come from.
Common complaints and concerns
The biggest concern is about who owns the website. Scorpion's FAQ confirms that your site runs on Scorpion's own system. You keep your domain, the words and the pictures. You do not keep the system the site runs on. So if you leave, you will need to rebuild the website with someone else. Competitors call this the top complaint about Scorpion.
- Rebolt, a competitor, says clients feel locked into 12-month terms when results fall short, but it gives no source.
- Rebolt also says all site changes go through Scorpion's team, so you cannot quickly fix a phone number or add a photo yourself.
- Because prices are not published, some owners find it hard to compare Scorpion's offer with other agencies.
None of these points means Scorpion does poor work. They are questions to ask before you sign. Ask how site changes work, what happens to your site if you cancel, and what the exit terms are in writing.
Contract and cancel terms
Scorpion's FAQ says marketing technology and services like SEO typically come with a 12-month contract. Digital ads are typically month-to-month. Rebolt reports terms of 12 to 24 months with early exit penalties, but that is a competitor's claim. Read your own agreement closely, and ask what you owe if you need to leave during a slow winter.
Scorpion alternatives
The right choice depends on your size and budget. A shop with several locations and a big ad budget has different needs than a 3-truck crew.
| Option | How you pay | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bricked Up Systems | $297 a month, billed every 4 weeks, no contract and no setup fee | Small and mid-size contractors who want a done-for-you website, local SEO, Google profile work, follow-up and reviews |
| Hibu | Custom pricing; review sites list a $449 a month starting price; 6 to 12 month terms per Hibu | Local businesses that want one managed vendor for website, listings and ads |

| GoHighLevel | From $97 a month, month-to-month, per GoHighLevel | Agencies and tech-comfortable owners who want to build their own system |
| Angi or Thumbtack | Pay per lead; prices not published by either company | Contractors who want extra shared leads on top of their own marketing |

How Bricked Up Systems compares
Bricked Up Systems is a done-for-you growth system for contractors. Our core plan is $297 a month, billed every 4 weeks, with no setup fee and no contract. You can cancel without a penalty.
For that price, we build a website with 25 to 35 pages, one for each service and each town you work in, and we handle hosting and upkeep. We do local SEO, Google Business Profile work, SEO blog posts and 20 to 50 directory listings. The plan also includes missed-call text back, automated follow-up on open quotes, a CRM, a unified inbox, a tracking number and review requests after every job.
We are a smaller and simpler option than Scorpion. If you want Google Ads, Facebook ads or Local Services Ads managed, we offer those as separate services starting at $297 a month, and you pay ad spend directly to Google or Meta. A large multi-location company with a big ad budget may still prefer a full agency like Scorpion. We also never promise rankings or a number one spot.
