Who To The Max Media is

To The Max Media specializes exclusively in 19 exterior service trades: 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, holiday lighting.

We don't take clients outside these verticals. The depth comes from saying no to everything else.

Pricing comparison

The pricing gap reflects the model difference. Scorpion offers full-service marketing across multiple channels with dedicated account management; TTM offers a fixed-scope Stage 1 build + Stage 2 ads as separate engagements.

Service offerings side-by-side

Specialization vs. full-service breadth

TTM's specialist play: We've built playbooks for each of our 19 trades. The turf cleaning Google Ads structure, the lawn treatment seasonal pacing, the hardscape design-consultation offer — these are template-able because we ship them across operators in the same trade. You benefit from pattern-matching against dozens of similar operators.

Scorpion's full-service play: They've built proprietary infrastructure (their CRM, their reporting dashboard, their attribution model) that they leverage across all clients. You benefit from their tooling + scale advantages even if their vertical knowledge is shallower than a specialist.

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

Contract terms + asset ownership

TTM contract terms:

• 90-day initial term
• Month-to-month after that
• You own the website, content, domain, Google Ads, GBP, Meta Business Manager, all assets
• Cancel anytime after initial term; nothing held hostage

Scorpion contract terms: Historically Scorpion has used longer contract terms (multi-month or annual). Their proprietary CRM means some client data lives in Scorpion infrastructure. Whether you "own" specific assets depends on the package + current contract.

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. Scorpion's CRM + reporting dashboard + attribution tooling is built and stable. TTM doesn't have proprietary tools at that scale.

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

3. You want a single agency for multiple business lines. Scorpion has multi-vertical capability.

4. You want the largest agency money can buy. Scorpion has scale TTM doesn't.

5. You value full-funnel ownership in one vendor. Scorpion handles everything from awareness to close in one shop.

Where TTM is the better choice

1. You run an exterior service business and want vertical depth. We know turf cleaning, pressure washing, hardscape, etc. at a level no generalist can match.

2. You value pricing transparency. $2,500 + $47/mo. Published. No discovery-call required to know what you'll pay.

3. You want to own all your marketing assets. Website, content, Google Ads, CRM (we recommend you own a third-party one like Jobber) — yours.

4. You want exclusive-territory protection. One operator per trade per service area.

5. You're scaling from $250k–$3M revenue. That's our sweet spot. Scorpion serves bigger operators; TTM is sized for owner-operator scale.

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

Honest weaknesses (both sides)

TTM's honest weaknesses:

• 19 verticals only. Outside that? Find someone else.
• Small team. We can't match Scorpion's headcount or proprietary infrastructure.
• Fixed Stage 1 scope. If you want a 60-page custom build, we're not it.
• No proprietary CRM. We integrate with third-party (Jobber, Housecall Pro, etc.) rather than building our own.
• No multi-vertical coverage.

Scorpion considerations (verify directly):

• Pricing requires sales call
• Contract terms historically longer than month-to-month — ask about current terms
• Generalist execution across verticals can mean shallower vertical-specific knowledge
• Proprietary infrastructure can create lock-in — understand the implications before signing
