getmitch vs a marketing agency.
You have probably paid an agency before. Here is the honest comparison, cost and outcomes, so you can decide what your shop actually needs.
Marketing agencies can do good work. The problem for most trades is the price, the pace, and the gap between what is promised and what ships.
Mitch is built for a different buyer: the shop owner who wants the work done, done consistently, and priced like a tool, not a retainer.
| getmitch | Typical agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | ✓ Flat plan, starts low | $2,000 to $6,000 retainer |
| Setup time | ✓ Days | Weeks of onboarding |
| Reviews automated | ✓ Yes, after every job | Rarely |
| Posts from your real jobs | ✓ Yes, automatic | Generic, occasional |
| Ad spend markup | ✓ Zero | Often a cut of spend |
| Built for trades | ✓ Only trades | Anyone with a budget |
| Who does the work | ✓ Runs from your phone | You chase the account manager |
Where an agency still makes sense
If you have a large budget and want a bespoke brand campaign, TV, billboards, or a big rebrand, a good agency is the right call. That is not what most trades need month to month.
What most shops need is reviews coming in, a live Google profile, steady local content, and ads that are watched. That is exactly what Mitch automates.
The real cost difference
An agency retainer is a fixed cost whether they ship or not. Mitch is priced like software: a flat plan that does the same core work every week, plus zero markup on any ad spend.
Over a year that is the difference between tens of thousands in retainers and a predictable monthly tool that pays for itself in jobs.
