Summary
Hook Agency delivers strong results for established contractors with $2M+ revenue, but their $2,800/mo starting price and lack of an entry-level option make them inaccessible for most roofing businesses. Vertex SEO serves contractors at every stage — from a free audit to $6,500/mo enterprise — with transparent pricing and roofing-specific methodology.
Hook Agency Strengths
- Strong brand and marketing presence in home services
- Good case studies and portfolio demonstrating contractor results
- Focus on larger, established contractors with deeper budgets
Hook Agency Weaknesses
- Entry price is 3.3× higher than Vertex ($2,800 vs $1,500 Local) — excludes smaller contractors
- No standalone audit/review option — must commit to full SEO to get started
- Targets only $2M+ revenue contractors — no option for growing businesses
- Meta ads and PPC priced separately, making full-stack package expensive
