Missed calls
The leak nobody measures
Roughly 1 in 4 calls to a home-service business goes unanswered. A homeowner with a dead AC doesn’t leave a voicemail — they dial the next name. You never know the call happened, so it never registers as a lost job.
One documented case: a service business saw 35% more leads month-over-month — 10% year-over-year — after switching to 24/7 hours with the phone genuinely covered. One documented case, not a promise — but the mechanism is simple: be open when they search, answer when they call.
That’s why an AI receptionist is built into our stack, not sold as an add-on.
What we do
Everything you need to win local customers
Three services that work together to get you seen, called, and booked — without you lifting a finger.
Get called
Local Services Ads — pay per lead, not per click, sitting above everything. Then Search Ads once there’s a real cost-per-lead to beat.

Every call tracked and recorded. We capture where you stand before we touch anything, so you can see exactly what we changed. Most agencies can’t show you a before.

Who we are
Big-business marketing, small-business budget
A great plumber or HVAC company shouldn't lose jobs to a competitor who simply shows up first when customers go looking. We close that gap.
Talos Operations runs the paid ads and local presence that bring you leads — faster, sharper, and at a price that makes sense for a local business. No long contracts, no rented platforms, no jargon. Just more calls and booked jobs.

Things you might be paying someone for right now
Geotagging photos
Google strips the location data on upload. Zero ranking effect across three independent tests. If it’s on your invoice, you’re paying for nothing.
Adding cities to your service area
Draws an outline on a map. Not a ranking signal.
Guaranteeing “#1 in your city”
There’s no such thing as one ranking — your position changes with where the searcher is standing. Anyone promising #1 is counting on you not knowing that.
Locking you in
Month to month. Your site, your profile, your leads — in your name, and they leave with you.
How it works
From invisible to in-demand in three steps
01
Audit
We map your online presence, size up competitors, and find exactly where you're leaking customers — free, before you commit to anything.
02
Build
We build your landing page, optimize your Google presence, and launch your ad campaigns — fast, so leads start coming in days.
03
Grow
Ads produce in days; the organic side takes about three months to compound. We show you both moving every month, so you’re never guessing which one’s working.

FAQs
Questions, answered
Paid ads can start producing calls within days of launching — not the months SEO takes.
Yes — completely. Your site, your domain, and every lead we generate. If you ever decide to leave, everything goes with you. No rented platforms.
You do, and you control it. Our plan price is our management fee; your ad budget is separate and goes straight to Google and Facebook, so you always see exactly where your money goes.
We work with HVAC shops across the US. Every page is built around the exact towns you serve, so you rank where your customers actually are.
No. Our plans are month-to-month, and you own your site and domain. We earn your business every month rather than locking you in.
60 days, or your money back
If we haven’t earned it, ask and you get your fees back — any reason or none. We believe in the work we do and are willing to put the risk on ourselves to gain your trust. We prefer to build long standing relationships with our clients.
