NATIONWIDE — JULY 2025 (USANews) The home services industry is vast, encompassing everything from roofing and painting to flooring and general contracting. One universal challenge, however, is attracting consistent, high-quality leads. It’s the foundation of every contractor’s business — without it, growth can stall, and success may remain out of reach. Enter HomeDirective, a marketing agency that is helping contractors generate leads and streamline their marketing strategies to scale their businesses.
Niklas Harkensee, the founder of HomeDirective, understands the challenges of marketing for home service providers. His agency’s mission is straightforward: to relieve contractors from the complexities of marketing so they can focus on what they do best — providing exceptional service to homeowners. What sets HomeDirective apart from other marketing agencies is its unique approach and commitment to its clients' success over the long term.
From Concept to Execution: The Birth of HomeDirective
HomeDirective was founded on a simple principle: great contractors shouldn’t have to waste time navigating complex and often ineffective marketing strategies. After serving in the Norwegian Army, Niklas decided to pursue business rather than follow the traditional college path. What began as a small but passionate endeavor quickly grew into an agency focused on delivering clear, actionable, and results-driven marketing strategies for home service businesses.
The agency offers a range of services, including paid advertising, social media management, and fully managed lead generation systems. These tailored strategies help contractors consistently generate high-quality leads, allowing them to grow their revenue while maintaining their focus on delivering top-tier services to homeowners.
A Client-Centered Approach to Marketing
HomeDirective’s approach to marketing stands out in a crowded industry. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all services, Niklas and his team treat every client as a long-term partner. This personalized approach ensures that every marketing campaign, system, and strategy aligns with the client’s unique market and business needs. The result isn’t just a one-time campaign, but a long-term growth system that scales as the business grows.
“At HomeDirective, we bring the work, you do the work,” says Niklas. “We’re here to make marketing one less thing contractors have to worry about. Our clients focus on doing the work, and we make sure they never run out of it.” This partnership-first mindset has been central to the agency’s success.
By acting as a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for their clients, HomeDirective provides strategic oversight and hands-on execution, ensuring that each campaign is not only successful but also sustainable in the long term. Whether launching a targeted marketing campaign or optimizing a client’s conversion funnel, HomeDirective helps its clients become trusted, go-to service providers in their local markets.
Delivering Results, Not Vanity Metrics
HomeDirective focuses on tangible results, not vanity metrics like clicks and impressions. For the agency, success means booked appointments and closed deals. The agency’s systems are designed to do more than generate leads; they nurture them, turning casual inquiries into fully booked appointments and long-term customers.
“We don’t just run ads and hope for results,” Niklas explains. “We build systems that manage the entire journey — from lead generation to booked appointments.” This proactive approach is a game-changer for contractors who often struggle to see measurable returns on their marketing investments.
HomeDirective’s client-first philosophy also sets it apart from other agencies offering templated solutions. By providing each client with fractional CMO-level support, the agency doesn’t just drive growth — it empowers contractors with the knowledge and tools they need to stay competitive in a fast-changing industry.
The Proof Is in the Results
HomeDirective’s approach is already yielding results. Many of its clients have seen significant business growth, including increased revenue and enhanced local market presence. The agency’s strategies have enabled contractors to scale their businesses more efficiently, often with less effort than if they had tried to manage marketing in-house.
What sets HomeDirective apart isn’t just the impressive growth its clients experience, but the long-term relationships the agency builds with them. Many contractors continue their partnerships with HomeDirective, trusting the agency not just as a service provider, but as an integral part of their growth strategy.
What Makes HomeDirective Different?
In an industry saturated with agencies focused on quick wins, HomeDirective differentiates itself with its long-term approach. Clients don’t just receive ads or campaigns; they gain a true growth partner. Through customized strategies and proactive oversight, HomeDirective provides marketing solutions designed to grow with the client’s business.
“What really makes us stand out is our proactive, long-term mindset,” Niklas says. “We don’t just run ads and hope for success. We build systems that are designed to scale with the client’s business. Our goal is always to create something sustainable — not just something that works for a short time.”
HomeDirective’s commitment to its clients is unwavering. The agency doesn’t simply implement strategies; it ensures that every campaign is effective and efficient, with each marketing dollar working toward a measurable return on investment.
