A Scorpion alternative for owners who want the site and the phone number in their name from day one

What does Scorpion sell?

Scorpion is a national marketing agency for home services, law firms, medical practices, franchises and multi-location groups. On its home services page, read October 31, 2026, the trades listed are electrical, HVAC, pest control, plumbing, landscaping and roofing, and the customer types run from single-location operators to franchise and private-equity-backed platforms. Clutch lists its headquarters in Draper, Utah, with offices in California and Texas and 250 to 999 employees. The BBB file shows 24 years in business.

The services are packaged like software. The home services page links to Convert (AI answering), RevenueMAX (tying marketing spend to booked jobs and revenue), Ranking AI (search and AI-assistant visibility), Advertising AI (paid search and social, including Google's Local Services Ads), Reputation AI (review requests and replies), Leads AI (lead scoring) and Landing Page AI, alongside website builds, SEO, video ads and social media.

Convert is the piece most owners ask about. Its product page describes a voice assistant that answers calls, qualifies the caller and schedules, plus a messaging assistant that replies to missed calls, texts, website chat, Facebook messages, LSA leads and contact forms. It can run only on missed calls, only after hours, all day in place of a phone menu, or as text follow-up on leads that didn't book. It connects to schedulers to capture requests and, in the page's words, books directly "where supported". No price or term is listed.

RevenueMAX launched in October 2024. Scorpion's press release at the time named an integration with ServiceTitan Scheduling Pro, CRM and field-service integrations for revenue attribution, ad optimization across Google, Bing, Meta and Thumbtack, and roll-up reporting for franchisors and consolidators. We found no CRM of Scorpion's own on the pages we read; it connects to the field software you already run.

The proof on its home page is scale: 20k+ businesses, $100B+ in revenue generated and 200M+ leads. Those are Scorpion's figures, and the page gives no method for them.

What does Scorpion cost?

Scorpion doesn't publish prices. The FAQ answers the cost question by saying the investment "depends on your business goals", and the home page offers a consultation or a meeting rather than a price. Third-party sites publish monthly estimates for Scorpion, but none we found is sourced to Scorpion, so we don't repeat them.

What the FAQ does give you is timing. A new website typically launches in four to 10 weeks, depending on the contract. If you are budgeting, ask for three numbers in writing: the monthly fee for each product, the ad budget on top of it and who pays the ad platform directly, and the total for the first 12 months. The first year matters because that is the typical term.

What are Scorpion's contract and exit terms?

Scorpion's client agreement isn't public, so there are no clause numbers to quote. Its terms appear as FAQ answers, on the FAQ page and repeated on the home services page, both read October 31, 2026. Your signed agreement governs, and it may say more.

Two things stand out. First, the ownership answer is honest about its limits. Scorpion says you own the site after the term, and in the same answer says you won't own the system it runs on. Static files are copies of the pages. Anything that ran on Scorpion's platform has to be rebuilt by whoever hosts the site next, which is why the FAQ tells you to plan for a rebuild. What usually breaks in that move, and how to plan around it, is in our guide to websites after a cancellation.

Second, the FAQ is silent on phone numbers. Convert's page says it works with your existing Scorpion website and tracking numbers, so the number printed on your ads may not be one you control. If customers have been calling a tracking number for a year, losing it costs you calls. Ask about it before you sign; the steps for moving a number are in our number porting guide.

Reviewers describe exits that went badly. One Trustpilot reviewer says their site showed a default server page after the contract ended, and a law firm on Clutch (September 2026) says Scorpion removed its website once it stopped paying. Those are individual accounts we can't verify, and they don't describe every exit. They are a reason to get the handoff in writing.

Scorpion reviews: a snapshot from October 31, 2026

The counts are small for a company Scorpion's size. A dozen Clutch reviews spread over more than a decade tell you less than the dates of the newest ones, so read those first. Our agency reviews roundup sets Scorpion's Trustpilot, Clutch and BBB record beside 14 other agencies.

What do Scorpion clients praise, and what do they complain about?

Praise, paraphrased. Account managers who answer quickly, check in often and push for growth. Several reviewers credit Scorpion with more leads and higher revenue. A plumbing company on Clutch (May 2026) praised consistent communication, and law firms describe multi-year relationships and more leads from search.

Complaints, paraphrased. Long contracts that are hard to leave and pricing that felt high. Pressure to buy more services. Irrelevant or low-quality leads, with disputed charges that reviewers say were never fully credited; an HVAC client on Clutch (September 2026) also questioned the closed-revenue numbers in its reports. Slow or incomplete account transfers at the end.

Across both sites, praise centers on people and complaints center on results, billing and the exit, which tells you where to focus your questions.

Questions to ask Scorpion before you sign

1. What is the term, does it renew automatically, and how much notice ends it? Get all three as separate answers in the agreement.
2. What do I owe if I leave before the term ends? The public pages don't say, so the contract has to.
3. Who is the registrant on my domain today? Look it up yourself, then ask them to confirm. Our domain guide explains what to check.
4. Which accounts come back to me, by name? GA4, LSA and social are in the FAQ. Ask about the Google Ads account, Search Console, the Business Profile and any call tracking numbers.
5. What format is the website handoff, and what stops working? Ask which forms, booking widgets and chat tools run on Scorpion's platform.
6. Can I export my call recordings and lead history? Ask for a sample export now, while you're still deciding.

Our free agency contract checklist turns these into a list you can take into the sales call, and our contracts and ownership comparison puts Scorpion's terms beside other agencies' in one table.

Choose Scorpion if

• You want someone to run paid media. Advertising AI covers paid search and social, including Local Services Ads, and the 2024 release lists Google, Bing, Meta and Thumbtack. If ads are your main channel, an agency that manages them alongside the site makes sense. We don't sell ads management.
• You run ServiceTitan and want marketing tied to booked jobs. Revenue attribution is the center of Scorpion's pitch, and its release names the ServiceTitan Scheduling Pro integration. Ask any other agency you're weighing whether it can match that.
• You run several locations or a franchise. Roll-up reporting across locations is built for franchisors and private-equity groups.
• You want one vendor answering every channel. Convert covers calls, texts, chat, Facebook messages, LSA leads and forms in four modes, from the same company that runs the ads feeding them.
• You value a long record. Twenty-four years in business, BBB accreditation since 2016 and six complaints in three years is a quiet complaint record.

Choose Dillard's Digital if

We build websites, local SEO and AI-search visibility, custom CRMs, business phone systems, AI phone reception, business email, and email and text marketing for service businesses anywhere in the US. Choose us if these matter more to you than the reasons above:

• You want ownership written down from the start. Our pricing page lists what every client owns: a domain registered to your company, with you as owner, the website files and code, on hosting you hold the account for, your phone number ported to you rather than leased, the CRM code and database with every customer in it, your email list and templates, your Business Profile and listings under you as primary owner, and all the logins, held in your own password manager.
• You don't want a term. Each recurring item sits on its own line of the quote (hosting, the phone line and its minutes, email sending, any ongoing SEO or marketing), and any one of them can be stopped. One-time charges on the quote each name the work they pay for.
• You want the CRM itself. We build the system your office runs on, with code and data you keep, instead of a reporting layer on top of someone else's software.
• You're comfortable with a newer company. We have no public reviews yet and no published phone number. The same stack runs the home-service companies we own. Write to hello@dillardsdigital.com or start with the instant website checkup, which returns a score and the top fixes without asking you to sign up.

Pricing is by written quote, free, with no list to publish. Nobody here will promise you a ranking, a lead count or a return.
