We fill contractor calendars. In 48 hours. Or your first month is free.
I'm John Milne, founder of Apex ACQ. We're an acquisition agency built for one kind of business: home service contractors doing $10K–$100K per month who are tired of feast-or-famine.
We operate out of West Kelowna, British Columbia, serving clients across the United States and Canada. No virtual assistants, no offshore pool of "account managers" you'll never meet. Every campaign I build, I touch. Every launch, I'm on the call.
What we actually do
Most marketing agencies sell you a 60-day design review and call it a service. We ship the entire system in days, not months:
- Meta ads + Google Ads — built via API, tested in parallel, one contractor per trade per city.
- GoHighLevel CRM — speed-to-lead SMS firing in under 60 seconds, auto follow-up sequences, review requests, no-show recovery.
- Landing pages — purpose-built, Core Web Vitals optimized, schema-complete, mobile-first.
- Ongoing creative — we don't leave you with one ad and wish you luck. We build 6–12 new creatives every month based on what's actually converting.
Our "Full Pipeline Guarantee" is simple: 20+ leads in 30 days or your first month of management is free. Just follow the system.
Real case studies
Eastcountry Electric — 48-Hour Launch
Dustin Krzywy runs a 31-year-old electrical business in Ponoka, Alberta. No Google Ads. No CRM. A website pointing customers to another electrician's phone number. We rebuilt his entire digital presence — Google Ads, GHL, 14 SEO fixes, FAQ schema across 6 pages — in 48 hours. SEO Health 59 → 86. Mobile LCP 17s → 3s. Hero image 3.4 MB → 72 KB.
MengFab — Custom Aluminium Fabrication
Brodie Meng runs a custom fab shop in regional Queensland. His quote form was getting 2–3 inquiries a month at $500+ average job value. After we rebuilt the quote page, wired up Meta CAPI, and launched a Super Duty carousel campaign at $30/day, inquiries jumped to 10+ per week in the first 30 days.
Mate Plumbing — 7-Job Automation Stack
Marcus runs Mate Plumbing. Between client calls, Xero remittance, quote follow-ups, and review requests, he was burning 15+ hours a week on admin. We built a 7-job Railway automation hub that handles quote reminders, invoice monitoring, daily recap emails, and smart scheduling — running 24/7. Admin time cut by roughly 80%.
Who we work with
Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pressure washing, painting, landscaping, siding, carpentry, and general contractors across the USA and Canada. Sweet spot: business owners doing between $10K and $100K per month who are ready to scale past referrals.
We're selective. One contractor per trade per city. Once your market is taken, we don't take another.

How we think about marketing
Speed beats perfection. Systems beat willpower. And the contractor who answers first wins the quote — every single time.
If your current marketing agency takes 60 days to get anything live, they're costing you the first two months of returns. Ask them to commit to 14. If they won't — hire us.
