Agency Comparison

Candor vs Scorpion. The real difference.

Scorpion is a big name in local marketing — websites, SEO, and paid media for service businesses. Candor is a client-acquisition engine built for operators who want booked appointments, not vanity metrics. Here's what separates the two.

Why Operators Switch

Three reasons teams leave and don't look back.

60-second speed-to-lead

Most agencies measure response time in hours. We measure it in seconds. Every inquiry — call, form, or DM — gets an AI response, qualification, and calendar booking before your competitor's front desk even sees it.

Reactivation revenue in 14 days

Before we spend a dollar on ads, we pull booked appointments from the client list you already own. It's not uncommon to see tens of thousands in reactivation revenue in the first two weeks.

Revenue dashboards, not vanity reports

We report on cost per booked job, show-up rate, and revenue generated — not clicks and impressions. You know exactly what you made and what it cost to make it.

Real Results

What this looks like in practice.

HVAC — South Carolina

106 jobs booked in 90 days.

A two-truck HVAC company losing leads to slow callbacks turned on 60-second AI response and database reactivation. The dispatch board went from empty to fully booked — with $48K in reactivation revenue in the first two weeks alone.

IV Therapy — Greenville, SC

1,100 leads and 400+ appointments in 6 months.

Treatment-specific Google and Meta campaigns, AI that books every inquiry, and automated client reactivation turned an inconsistent schedule into one the owner could staff and forecast against.
