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.
| Feature | Candor Marketing | Scorpion |
|---|---|---|
| Speed-to-lead | AI answers calls, texts, and forms in under 60 seconds — 24/7. | Inbound leads route to your team or voicemail. Response time depends on staff availability. |
| Launch timeline | Live and driving booked appointments in under 7 days. | Typical onboarding runs 30–60 days before campaigns are live. |
| Client reactivation | Automated SMS and email flows that book appointments from your existing list within 14 days. | Not a core offering; past-client marketing is typically an add-on or not offered. |
| Reporting | Revenue dashboard tying every dollar of spend to booked jobs and closed revenue. | Traffic and lead-volume reporting. Revenue attribution often requires manual reconciliation. |
| Creative approach | On-site shoots and in-house editing. Your voice, your trucks, your team. | Template-based creative systems. Faster to produce, harder to differentiate. |
| Account ownership | Senior strategist owns the account end-to-end. No junior handoffs after the pitch. | Account teams vary by tier. Larger accounts get more attention; smaller accounts are more templated. |
| Contracts | No long-term lock-ins. Performance decides whether you stay. | Standard annual contracts with early-termination fees on most plans. |
| Industries | Built for dental, med spa, chiropractic, physical therapy, plastic surgery, HVAC, and roofing. | Broad vertical coverage including legal, home services, and healthcare. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
30 minutes. We'll audit your current funnel, show you where leads are leaking, and map out what booked appointments would look like in your business.
