January decides May.
Most people find
out in June.
Homeowners plan spring projects over the winter, reading cost guides and collecting images for months. That research window is when your season is actually won — and right now a national cost site owns all of it.
Free · no card · result in about 60 seconds
Publish “What a paver patio actually costs in Minneapolis — 2026 numbers from a builder.” It is the first thing homeowners search and no local company has answered it.
The morning this replaces.
One brief, one action, one approved post — before your first appointment. No feature tour, just the loop.
Your best season is decided in your quietest months.
Design-build projects are researched for months before anyone requests a quote. By spring the shortlist already exists — and you were not on it.
A Tuesday in January at Stoneridge Landscapes.
The quiet months, and what they decide.
The spring book is thinner than last year and there is nothing to do about it in April. She knows the work is won now and has no system for winning it.
She asks ChatGPT what a paver patio costs in Minneapolis. A national site answers with a number 35% below her market. No local company appears.
The scan scores her 34/100 and shows the whole research phase unclaimed. She starts on Starter over the winter to see whether it moves anything before committing.
Nine cost and materials guides live, published through the winter. Homeowners arrive quoting her range and already knowing why stone costs what it does. The spring book filled in March.
Four jobs a marketing hire would do — in one seat.

BlogCraft cost content
BlogCraft writes the cost and materials guides homeowners research over the winter — patio cost, pavers versus concrete, when to start planning — with local pricing context a national site cannot provide.
AI-Visibility check
We ask ChatGPT and Gemini the cost and design questions homeowners research, and score how often you are named against the design-build companies you actually compete with.
Competitor watch + Compose
Watch rival design-build companies across nine channels — Instagram and Pinterest especially, where project discovery genuinely happens — and turn your own finished projects into branded posts in minutes.
SEO audit + one-click publish
A 31-point audit finds what gallery-heavy sites always suffer from — page weight, missing structure, no answerable content — with the fixes and the code.
Less time. Less spend. More found.
What a normal month looks like before ScoutRival, and after. Same crew, same season, a fuller book.
Figures are modelled from a design-build operator. The third card is what the product measures. ⚠️ If you run maintenance rather than design-build, this is a much weaker fit — mow-and-blow contracts renew on relationship and price, not research.
In 60 seconds, see who is quoting your prices.
No card, no call. Drop your site in — we’ll show you the number AI is telling homeowners a patio costs, and which company it names instead of you.
The full report lists every prompt you’re missing and the top 3 actions to fix it.

Three ways to solve this. One fits a design-build.
An agency, a stack of tools, or one seat. The honest comparison — including the two things we don’t do.
Marketing agency
- Rarely measures AI visibility
- Competitor watch not in scope
- Direction on a monthly call
- Writes content — in 2–4 weeks
- Manages reviews and posting
- You own the content — check the contract
Four separate tools
- Tracks AI visibility
- Listening is enterprise-priced
- You interpret all of the data
- Generic content unless you prompt well
- Four logins, none share context
- You own everything you make
ScoutRival
- Two engines, labelled — re-check any day
- Nine channels + founder-level tracking
- A daily brief with one clear action
- Content in your voice, drafted in ~90 seconds
- Branded graphics + one-click WordPress
- Yours forever — export anytime
- Doesn’t manage your Google Business Profile or map-pack rank
- Doesn’t post to Instagram or Pinterest for you
Visual discovery drives this category and we generate the content but do not publish it. Combined with the map-pack gap, these two are worth stating before someone buys expecting either.
Built for the owner who is the marketing team.
The winter that decides the season — in the words of the builders who use it now.
