Dave Bridges · Interior Remodeling & Custom Trim · Sarasota, FL
Dave had 12 years of finish carpentry and remodeling work behind him. He did the kind of trim and built-in work that high-end homeowners pay serious money for. His problem wasn't skill — it was that nobody outside his existing customer base knew he existed. He had no website, no reviews, no social presence. He was invisible online.
ARK built Dave's digital presence from scratch — Google Business, targeted Facebook campaigns, and a review system that turned his past customers into public proof. Within 90 days, Dave had tripled his monthly revenue.
Claimed and optimized his Google Business profile, built a targeted Facebook campaign, and set up a review funnel to collect 5-star reviews from past customers.
ARK's campaigns reached homeowners in Sarasota's higher-income zip codes — the people who actually pay for quality trim work, not the ones looking for the lowest bid.
No other interior remodeler in his territory was in the ARK network. Every lead generated went to Dave.
“I had my first lead on day five. I didn't do anything — ARK just handled it. By month three I was turning down work. I've never had to turn down work in 12 years.”

Nic had been servicing pools in Sarasota for years. He was good at the work and had loyal customers — but his competitors were running Facebook ads and he wasn't. He was watching jobs go to companies that had found a way to get in front of homeowners before Nic even knew they were looking.
ARK put Nic's business in front of homeowners in Sarasota and Venice who had pools and were actively searching for service or renovation. In month one, Nic received 18 qualified leads. The plan paid for itself on the first job booked.
“I had leads coming in before I even fully understood how the network worked. ARK just handled it. The first job I booked paid for 5 months of the plan.”

Marco ran a two-man HVAC operation in Bradenton. He was fully booked in summer — Florida heat guaranteed that — but winters were brutal. He'd spend November through February doing service calls at $150 a pop just to keep his guys paid. He needed a way to generate installation leads year-round.
He joined the ARK Network Plan in October — the start of his slow season. ARK targeted homeowners in Bradenton and Sarasota who had older HVAC systems, had recently purchased homes, or had engaged with home improvement content. By December, Marco had booked 3 full system replacements — his highest-margin work — during what was historically his worst month.
“December used to be survival mode. This year I did three full system replacements in a month that used to be dead. ARK paid for itself in the first week.”

Tony Ferraro had been roofing in Sarasota and Manatee County for 16 years. After every major storm, the same thing happened: national roofing chains flooded the market with door-knockers and digital ads, and Tony — who did better work and stood behind it — lost jobs to companies homeowners had never heard of before the storm.
Between storms, Tony relied on repeat customers and referrals. He'd tried Angi leads twice — both times the homeowners were shopping price and he couldn't compete with the out-of-state companies willing to cut corners to win the bid.
Tony's words before joining:
"I was losing jobs to companies from Tampa that had never set foot in Sarasota. I needed homeowners to know who I was before they needed a roof."
ARK built audiences of homeowners whose homes were 15+ years old — the prime replacement window in Florida's climate.
ARK built a standing campaign that could be activated within hours of a named storm. When Hurricane Idalia grazed Sarasota, Tony's leads spiked within 48 hours.
No other roofing contractor in Sarasota or Manatee County was in the ARK network. Every roofing lead went to Tony.
“I had two full crews booked solid for six weeks straight. That's never happened in the off-season. ARK put me in front of homeowners who were already looking — I just had to show up and close. The plan paid for itself on the first job. Literally the first job.”
