Platform

A managed media platform.

We buy the media and run the campaigns. The software shows you what it cost and what it produced. You are never the one logging into an ad platform at 11pm.

01

Budget

You tell us the goal and what you will spend. We tell you whether the two match up. A $12,000 month will not add forty booked jobs in a competitive metro, and you should hear that before you spend it.

  • Grow monthly revenue
  • Add recurring service customers
  • Enter a new market
  • Generate more booked jobs
  • Build awareness in a target geography

You pick where you want to grow. We handle the campaigns, the creative, the bidding, and the daily adjustments. You see where the money is and can move it. That is the extent of the work on your end.

Google Search

Catch people searching right now, defend your own name, and pace spend to your season.

Local Services Ads

Google Guaranteed placement, plus disputing the junk leads so you are not paying for them.

Meta

Facebook and Instagram, for the jobs people think about before they buy.

YouTube

Video in front of homeowners in your service area who are in the market.

CTV

Streaming TV, targeted to specific households instead of a whole DMA.

Programmatic

Display and video bought on exchanges, aimed at in-market homeowners.

Retargeting

Follow-up for estimates that stalled and quotes that never closed.

Organic & AI-assisted content

Service-area pages, review replies, and social that keeps working after you stop paying.

03

Measure

Jobs and revenue first. CPM, CTR, CPC, and frequency are all in there — they are how we find a problem, not how we report to you.

Geography

Performance, territory by territory.

Most reporting stops at the channel. When you run trucks, the more useful question is where: which markets are making money, which are underfunded, and where the next crew should go.

Positioning

What Illuminate isn’t.

An SEO agency

A web design shop

A social media management company

A lead reseller

A traditional full-service agency

We buy media for you and show you what it produced. That is the whole business.

On the roadmap

Where the platform is going.

None of this is live yet. We would rather say that than imply the software already does it. Today our team makes these calls and shows you the reasoning.

Recommended reallocation

Move $5,000 from Meta to Search based on the last 60 days. You approve it before anything moves.

Market opportunity signals

HVAC replacement demand is up 18% in Riverside. You hear about it before the season, not after.

Bounded automatic allocation

Let us shift up to 15% of the monthly budget between channels when performance moves, inside limits you set.

Expansion modeling

Which territory to enter next, ranked by demand, competition, and what it would cost to win there.

See it with your own numbers.

Bring last quarter’s spend and job counts. We will show you what the platform would have told you.
