About TMG USA
Contractors built this country. We help them grow.
The Marketing Group USA exists for one kind of business: local contractors and home-service pros who are great at the work and tired of gambling on marketing.
Our story
Why we only work with contractors
Most agencies will take anyone's money. A SaaS startup on Monday, a restaurant on Tuesday, a roofer on Wednesday, same playbook for all three. That's why most contractor marketing disappoints: it was never built for how homeowners actually hire a contractor.
We went the other way. TMG works exclusively with contractors and home-service businesses, painters, HVAC, roofers, concrete, outdoor living, and thirty-plus other trades. We know what a painting lead should cost, why HVAC lives and dies on emergency calls, and how a $100K backyard project gets sold from an Instagram photo.
That focus is the whole advantage. Every campaign we launch starts from a playbook proven in your industry, then gets tuned to your market, your crews, and your goals.
We win when you win
Our pitch is simple: real numbers, month-to-month partnership, and no locked contracts. If the engine isn't producing, you're free to walk, and that keeps us honest every single month.
Founded in San Diego. Working nationwide.
Based in San Diego, CA, TMG builds marketing engines for contractors and local home-service businesses across the country. When you call, you talk to the people who run the accounts, starting with the founder.
What we stand for
Results. Service. Growth.
For our clients and for us, in that order.
Results
We measure everything to the booked job, not the click. If a channel isn't producing, we tell you and we fix it, or we cut it.
Service
You'll never wonder what your marketing company is doing. Straight answers, plain English, and a real human who knows your account.
Growth
The goal is not "more traffic." It's a business that grows on purpose, more crews, better jobs, and a calendar you control.
Are we a fit?
We're not for everybody. On purpose.
The best client relationships start with honesty about who we serve well.
We're a great fit if you...
- Run a contractor or home-service business and want to grow past referrals
- Care how your company is represented, not just how cheap the leads are
- Want one accountable team instead of four vendors blaming each other
- Will pick up the phone when the leads come in. Speed wins jobs.
✕ We're probably not, if you...
- ✕ Are shopping for the cheapest possible leads at any quality
- ✕ Expect hundreds of leads in week one from a standing start
- ✕ Want marketing you never have to think about or answer a call for
- ✕ Need a vendor to blame more than a partner to build with
What to expect
Your first 90 days with TMG
No mystery, no black box. This is how an engine build actually starts.
Days 1 to 14
Teardown and foundation
Market and competitor teardown, tracking installed, Google Business Profile rebuilt, website conversion fixes scoped. You see the whole plan before we spend a dollar.
Days 15 to 45
Fast channels live
LSA and paid campaigns launch first so calls start while the durable channels build. Weekly tuning from day one, and you know what every call cost.
Days 46 to 90
Compound and report
SEO and review engines take hold, budgets shift toward what books jobs cheapest, and you get the monthly report you can read in two minutes. Then we scale what wins.
A note from the founder
"Contractors get pitched by a new marketing company every week, and most of them sell the same thing: promises. We built TMG to sell the opposite. Real numbers, month to month, and you own everything we make. If we can't fill your calendar, you shouldn't keep us. That's the whole deal."
Blake Altice
Founder, The Marketing Group USA
No ticket queue
You'll know who runs your account
Your strategy call is with Blake, TMG's founder, not a sales rep who disappears after the signature. When the engine is running, you have a named account lead and a direct line. If LSA charges you for a spam call on a Saturday, you know exactly who's disputing it on Monday.
Testimonials
Contractors who stopped worrying about leads
We win when our clients win. Here's what they say.
"I hired TMG to handle the marketing for three of my companies. I've always had a hard time with marketing companies because they always promise the world and never deliver. For the first time in 20 years I finally found a company that delivers what they promise."
