Nexacraft Agency started in 2009 as a one-person operation helping local US service businesses get visibility on Craigslist, back when Craigslist was still the dominant lead source for tradespeople in most US metros. The first clients were small HVAC and plumbing operations who needed help getting their ads in front of more homeowners.
Over the next decade, the work expanded. Craigslist gave way to Google Ads. Google Ads grew alongside Local Services Ads. Facebook became a viable channel. SEO matured into something agencies could actually execute predictably. Through every platform shift, the core work stayed the same: help US home service contractors get more inquiries from real homeowners, at sustainable cost per lead, in the markets they actually serve.
By 2018, we’d delivered more than 1,000 campaigns. By 2024, we’d formed Nexacraft Agency LLC in Montana to consolidate everything under a single US legal entity. Today, we’re a small, specialized team focused entirely on home service contractor marketing, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, pest control, pool service, water damage restoration, and garage doors.
Most of our growth has come through referrals and through reviews on third-party freelance marketplaces, 153 reviews on Freelancer (4.9/5, 95% repeat client rate) and 76 completed jobs on Upwork over more than a decade. We’ve never chased agency-scale volume because the contractor business doesn’t reward generalists. Sixteen years in, we’re confident that’s the right tradeoff.
