TL;DR: Scorpion is a full-service digital marketing agency serving multiple industries (legal, medical, home services) with custom retainer pricing. To The Max Media focuses on U.S. home-service businesses, any home service, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, cleaning, lawn and exterior trades, with published pricing ($2,499 one time, or $297 a month for the website). Scorpion has scale and its own software; TTM has home-service focus, published prices and exclusive areas. If you want one big agency across several industries, Scorpion may fit. If you run a home-service business and want published prices and month to month ads, TTM fits. This is an honest comparison written by TTM. Verify everything on Scorpion's own site.

Key takeaways

• Pricing: TTM publishes pricing. Scorpion's full marketing package requires a proposal. Its separate Direct Marketing Services for ServiceTitan Marketing Pro advertises plans from $500 a month; that is not a full website-and-ads package.
• Who each serves: TTM works with any U.S. home-service business. Scorpion covers multiple industries including home services, legal, medical, and others.
• Scale: Scorpion offers its own marketing platform across several industries. TTM is founder-led.
• Contract model: The TTM website has no minimum term: own it outright, or rent it month to month. TTM ads management is month to month from the start, cancel anytime by email. Ask Scorpion for the exact term, renewal and cancellation conditions in its written proposal.
• Ownership: Buy the TTM site and it is yours outright. Rent it and your domain and the content you give us stay yours, the build is ours while you rent, and you can buy it outright any time. Ask Scorpion to specify ownership, export and transfer terms for each asset.

Who To The Max Media is

To The Max Media works with any U.S. home-service business, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, cleaning and remodeling. Our most developed playbooks are for turf cleaning, turf installation, pressure washing, soft washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, roof cleaning, landscape construction, lawn care, lawn treatment, tree services, hardscaping, concrete sealing, irrigation, fence installation, deck building, snow removal, outdoor lighting and holiday lighting.

Home services are our focus.

Pricing comparison

Compare the same scope: website ownership or rental, ad management, media spend, software fees, and follow-up. TTM sells websites and ads separately; its sales system is quoted on the call. Scorpion's DMS starting price should not be compared with an entire marketing package.

Service offerings side-by-side

Use Scorpion's current site and the written proposal to confirm which advertised services your package includes.

Specialization vs. full-service breadth

TTM's home-service play: We've built published playbooks for 19 trades. The turf cleaning Google Ads structure, the lawn treatment seasonal pacing, the hardscape design-consultation offer, these are written per trade, so each new operator in that trade starts from the same plan. For any other home service, we start from the closest playbook and build yours from it.

Scorpion's full-service play: They've built proprietary infrastructure (their CRM, their reporting dashboard, their attribution model) that they leverage across all clients. Ask for a demonstration using the reports and workflows your business needs.

Different value props. Right answer depends on what you value.

Contract terms + asset ownership

TTM contract terms:

• Website: own it outright for $2,499, or rent it for $297 a month with no minimum term
• Renting: your domain and the content you give us stay yours, the build is ours while you rent, and you can buy it outright any time
• Owning: the website, content and domain are yours outright
• Ads management: month to month from the start, cancel anytime by email
• Yours either way: domain, Google Ads, GBP, Meta Business Manager

Scorpion contract terms: Get the current contract in writing. Confirm which accounts hold your data, what can be exported, who owns each asset and what happens at cancellation.

This isn't a knock, proprietary infrastructure can be a feature (better integration, better reporting), but it's a question worth asking explicitly: "If I cancel in 12 months, what do I keep? What do I lose?"

Where Scorpion is the better choice

1. You need a full-service agency with proprietary infrastructure. Ask Scorpion to demonstrate its marketing platform, reporting and integrations for your workflow.

2. You run a business outside home services. Scorpion has expertise in legal, medical, etc. that TTM doesn't.

3. You want a single agency for several unrelated businesses. Scorpion works across industries.

4. You prefer a provider serving several industries. Review its team structure and who would manage your account.

5. You value full-funnel ownership in one vendor. Confirm which advertising, website and follow-up services sit in the same proposal.

Where TTM is the better choice

1. You run a home-service business and want an agency focused on home services. We know how home-service jobs get booked: the calls, the quotes, the seasons and the follow-up.

2. You value pricing transparency. $2,499 one time, or $297 a month. Published. No discovery-call required to know what you'll pay.

3. You want to own your marketing assets. Your domain, the content you give us, your ad accounts and business profiles stay yours. Customer data remains yours if you use our sales system, while subscription access ends when it stops. Buy the site and it is yours outright; rent it and the build is ours while you rent, and you can buy it outright any time.

4. You want exclusive-territory protection. One company per trade per service area, first come first served, while you are a client.

5. You want separately priced services. Choose a website, ads management or a scoped sales-system setup around your current needs.

6. You want a founder-led relationship. Ty handles your strategy directly.

Honest weaknesses (both sides)

TTM's honest weaknesses:

• Home services are our focus. Outside that? Someone else is likely a better fit.
• Ty handles strategy and reporting, supported by a small operations team.
• Fixed Step 1 scope.
• No proprietary CRM. The sales system runs on a CRM we set up, or we connect the one you use (Jobber, Housecall Pro, etc.), rather than building our own.
• Little coverage outside home services.

Scorpion considerations (verify directly):

• Pricing requires sales call
• Ask for minimum term, renewal and cancellation terms in writing
• Ask for relevant client examples and who will manage your account
• Ask how you export customer data and move the website or accounts if you leave

How to decide + FAQ

FAQ:

Is this comparison biased? Yes. TTM wrote it. Verify Scorpion's offering on their site. Talk to current/past Scorpion clients before deciding.

What's TTM's typical client size? We work with U.S. home-service businesses. The strategy call checks your service area, existing setup and goals rather than assuming a revenue band.

Should I get quotes from both? Yes. Talk to Scorpion. Book a strategy call with TTM. The answer might be either.

Considering TTM? Our website design service ships custom home-service sites at $2,499 one time, or $297 a month. See every price on our pricing page. Or book a free strategy call. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit, including if Scorpion or another agency would serve you better.
