## Short answer

Scorpion does not publish prices, says it typically requires a 12 month contract, and says you own your website after the contract is complete but not the underlying system. Alternatives with published prices: Hook Agency ($3,750 a month local SEO plus AEO, you own the site 100%), HVAC Foundry and Service Marketing Co ($2,500 a month, month to month, AI search included), HVAC Webmasters ("$99 to start", month to month), and InnoBotZ ($2,500, or $1,750 for the first 5, with a day 90 right to leave, and you keep everything whenever you leave).

## What does Scorpion offer HVAC companies?

  
Scorpion's [HVAC page](https://www.scorpion.co/hvac/) covers SEO, AI search, ads, websites and intake software, and says it "builds the SEO and AI search authority that gets your business found, and recommended". It names Hembree Heating & Air, which it says grew by over 300%. Its [FAQ](https://www.scorpion.co/faq/) says Scorpion "typically requires a 12-month contract" for its marketing technology and some services, and that you own your website after the contract is complete, though not the underlying system. Prices are not published.
  
Scorpion fits larger companies that want one big vendor for SEO, ads and software and are fine with a 12 month commitment.

  
## Why do HVAC companies look for Scorpion alternatives?

  

    - No published price. You find out on the sales call.
    - A typical 12 month contract, with no published performance guarantee.
    - Ownership after the term. The website is yours after the contract, not during it.
    - Multi-trade. Scorpion also serves other trades, law firms and franchises.

    - Your contract end date, and any notice period.
