Get Off The Tools vs a marketing agency
A normal marketing agency will happily take an electrician on. Then comes the £1,500 to build the site, the £2,000 a month retainer, the twelve month contract, and a monthly report full of words that do not put money in your pocket. They run the same playbook for a dentist and a gym as they do for you.
Get Off The Tools only works with electricians and trades, is built and run by a working spark, and costs from £99 a month with no contract. Here is the honest comparison.

Where an agency can still make sense
Fair is fair. If you are a big multi branch firm with a proper budget and a marketing manager to ride herd on them, a good agency can do real work. Big spend, big campaigns, national brand, that is their world.

You get the website, the AI catching every call, the reviews stacking up and the follow up, all run for you, plus training and advice from someone who has actually wired a house. No contract, no clever words, no waiting. See how the plans stack up on the pricing page.
