Mavly locks your zip to you, puts you at the top of Google before Groundworks gets there, and keeps your phone ringing year-round from Meta, LSA, and plumber referrals. Exclusive calls. No shared leads. Pay only when it rings.
Pay per call · One contractor per zip · 3 founding spots left
Your leads aren't the problem. Your pipeline is. We fix that first.
Most waterproofing contractors pour money into ads while half their phone calls go straight to voicemail. Then they wonder why nothing's working. Here's what's actually happening.
The average home services contractor misses more than half their inbound calls. Those homeowners don't try you again. They call whoever picks up first, and the next contractor in the search results wins.
By then they've had two other contractors quote them. First responder wins about 60% of the time. Sixth responder wins basically nothing. That stat is brutal but it's true.
Every quote you gave 60 days ago that "didn't decide yet"? About 1 in 10 would book this week if someone followed up. Almost nobody follows up. That's $20K to $40K of dead jobs sitting in your CRM right now.
You're spending $1K to $3K a month on ads and you can't tell which keywords actually brought you closed jobs. So you keep paying for the broken half and don't know which half it is.
Happy customers leave reviews when you ask them on day 1, not day 30. Most contractors never ask. That's why your competitor with 200 reviews keeps showing up above you in local search.
Crews busy in May, sitting idle in November. Cash flow looks like a heart attack on a chart. Most agencies make this worse by only running ads when seasonal demand is already high.
We'd rather lose a sale than sign someone we can't help. Read both columns before you apply.
We diagnose first. Then we build. Then we launch. Then we grow. Most agencies skip the first two phases because they don't get paid for them. That's why most agencies lose their clients in three months.
We pull every number from your last 90 days. Call logs, ad spend, GHL pipeline, GBP analytics, missed calls. One report. Real numbers. No PowerPoint slides.
We install the system that stops calls from dying before a single new dollar goes to Google. This pays for the next 60 days of work by itself.
One channel at a time. We don't fire all the guns at once because you can't tell what's working when everything launches together. We add, measure, then add again.
Your zip codes are yours while you're active. SEO compounds quietly. Past customers get re-engaged twice a year. We push for review velocity so you start outranking competitors.
If you don't pick up, our system texts the homeowner back from your number in 30 seconds. If they still haven't booked, the follow-up runs automatically for the next 72 hours straight.
Monthly PDFs are how you lose track. Real-time is how you stay accountable. Open it at 3am and see what happened at 2am. Open it before our strategy call and you'll already know what we're going to say.
You own this dashboard. It lives on your Google account, your Twilio data, your CRM. We just build the view. If we ever part ways, the dashboard stays with you — every call, every cost, every closed dollar tracked.
Side by side, no spin. You should know exactly what you'd be passing up before you decide.

No retainer. No monthly subscription. No long contract. A one-time Ignition fee covers the system install. After that, you pay only for qualified phone calls that actually come in.
A retainer pays us whether your phone rings or not. Per-call pricing means we don't eat until you do. Our incentive is your phone ringing — every day, every season. Same alignment a good contractor has with their crew: paid when the job's done, not for showing up.
A "qualified call" is any inbound homeowner call lasting 2 minutes or longer. Wrong numbers, voicemails, robocalls, and calls under 2 minutes are never billed. Google Ads spend is paid directly to Google with your card. We don't touch your ad budget. No markup. No surprises.
Every agency oversells what they're capable of. Here's the honest list of what we won't promise, won't sell you, and won't pretend we're good at.
No agency doing this work seriously guarantees X calls per week. Anyone who does is lying. We guarantee the system, not the outcome.
Retainers reward agencies for showing up, not for delivering. Our incentive is your phone ringing. If it doesn't ring, we don't get paid.
Google bills you directly with your card. You see every dollar. No markup, no hidden margin, no "managed ad spend" games.
We only work with waterproofing, crawl space, and foundation contractors. Deep niche focus beats wide niche generalism every time.
This isn't HomeAdvisor. Calls go to one contractor per zip. Yours. The competition isn't bidding on the same homeowner.
Your Google Ads account, your GBP, your CRM, your domain. All in your name. If we break up, you keep everything we built.
Drag the sliders. Numbers update live. Based on industry benchmarks for waterproofing, not optimistic agency math.
Assumes 70% quote-show rate, $75 cost per Google call (industry avg for waterproofing), 50% gross margin on closed jobs. Real results vary by zip and crew. The math is meant to be conservative, not optimistic.
Mavly is new. We're not going to fake testimonials or show case studies that don't exist yet. Here's what the research actually says about the system we install.
No funnel tricks, no high-pressure pitch deck. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you fill out the form.
Fill out the 3-minute form. Eight questions about your business so we know who we're talking to.
If your numbers don't match what we work with, we'll tell you the same day with a referral somewhere better. No "I'll get back to you" ghosting.
Real conversation. We ask about your current numbers, what's broken, what you've tried. You ask whatever you want about Mavly. If it's not a fit either way, we end early.
If discovery felt right, we go deep. We map your next 90 days live. Identify your specific leaks. Show you the math. You see the dashboard preview, the automation flow, the exact ad keywords for your zip.
If you want in, we send the 1-page agreement and an invoice for Ignition. You sign and pay. If you don't, you walk away with a real audit and the plan we just mapped. Keep it. Use it. No hard feelings.
Day 1 we set up your Google Ads account in your name. Day 2-3 we build the campaign. Day 4-5 we install the automation. Day 6 we soft-launch ads at $25/day. Day 7 we go to full budget. First calls hit your phone in week 1 or 2.

I'm David. I started Mavly because I watched too many contractors get sold $3,500/month agency packages they couldn't afford or escape from. The lock-in was the product. The results were secondary.
I think waterproofing contractors deserve agency-grade systems without agency-grade prices or contracts. Same speed-to-lead automation, same Google Ads expertise, same dashboards. But you only pay when your phone actually rings.
If we're not making your phone ring, you walk. No exit fee. No hostage situation. That's the whole pitch. If you want to see how it works in your business, apply for a call.
David Omondi, Mavly Digital
Every tool in the stack, every cost passed through, every margin we don't take. If we don't make money on it, we'll tell you.
Total tooling cost on top of Mavly's per-call fee: about $10 to $30 per month. That's it. No markups, no hidden margins, no resold "managed services."
Fair question. Most agencies sell you Facebook ads, take a retainer, and disappear after the first invoice. Mavly doesn't take a retainer. We charge per qualified call. If your phone isn't ringing, we're not making money. That alignment fixes about 80% of the agency horror stories.
Any inbound phone call from a homeowner that lasts 2 minutes or more. The 2-minute rule means we only bill when it's a real conversation, not a butt-dial or a robocall. If a call ends in 30 seconds, you don't pay. If a wrong number gets through, you don't pay. We can dispute borderline cases together.
It's the one-time fee that pays for us to install the entire system: Google Ads account setup, campaign build, automation workflows in GHL, dashboard configuration, GBP optimization, tracking integration. About 30-40 hours of build work compressed into your first week. After Ignition, you only ever pay per qualified call.
Yes. Spring and storm season is where the heavy money is and we push hard there. Fall and winter we shift to crawl space encapsulation, foundation crack repair before freeze, and reactivating your old leads. Most contractors do $80K in May and $12K in November. We help smooth that to something closer to $40K every month.
If you're under $10K/month, we'll probably tell you to come back in 6 months. The Google Ads spend alone needs $1,500/month to work, and it's hard to justify that if you're not already covering rent and trucks. We'd rather lose your sale than sign you up and watch you struggle.
Referrals are the best leads any contractor gets. But they're unpredictable and you can't control the timing. Mavly fills the gaps between referrals so your crews aren't sitting idle 3 days a week. The review and reactivation system also feeds more referrals back to you over time. Nobody's saying replace what works. We add what's missing.
No catch. The first 3 contractors who sign get the lower Ignition fee in exchange for case study rights, meaning we can use your real numbers in our marketing once you start seeing results. After the first 3 spots fill, Ignition goes to $1,497. That's it. No bait and switch.
No. The honest answer is no agency doing this work seriously guarantees a number. What we guarantee is the system: the 30-second text back, the 5-touch follow-up, the dashboard showing every call, and 90 days then cancel anytime by text. If it stops working, you leave. That's a stronger commitment than any "ROI guarantee" you'll see elsewhere.
You do, directly to Google with your own card. We never touch your ad budget. You see every dollar in your own Google Ads account, which is in your name. We just run the campaign for you. That's the only way you know we're not marking up your ad spend.
After the 90-day commitment, you can cancel any time by text. Within 24 hours we pause the ads, remove our access to your Google Ads account, and stop billing. You keep your Google Ads account, your GBP, your phone numbers, your reviews, your CRM. Nothing gets locked or held hostage.
60-minute strategy call. We'll look at your business, find what's broken, and map out the next 90 days. No sales deck. No high-pressure close. If we're a fit, we talk numbers. If not, you walk away with the audit and the plan, free.
