Scorpion for roofers: reviews, contract terms, and what you keep if you leave

Disclosure first: we compete with Scorpion for roofing clients, and we are on the list of alternatives below. So nothing here is our opinion of Scorpion. Every term is quoted from Scorpion’s FAQ or its roofing page, every score comes from the review site named next to it, and everything was checked on those pages in October 2026. Click through and check us.

If you are reading Scorpion reviews, you are probably deciding whether to sign. The scores matter less than three questions the reviews keep circling back to: how long you are committed, who owns the website, and what happens on the day you leave. Scorpion answers all three in writing. Here is what it says.

What Scorpion is

Scorpion is a large marketing and technology company that serves home services, legal and other industries. Clutch lists it as founded in 2001 with 250 to 999 employees.

For roofers, it sells a platform rather than a single service. Its roofing page lists Digital Advertising, a Marketing Team, Website, Ranking (SEO), Reputation, and Scorpion Connect, an AI customer service tool, and shows 24 roofing client logos. If you want one company to run your ads, website, SEO, reviews and phone answering, that breadth is the main reason to talk to them.

The reviews, in numbers

Review site	Score	Reviews	What stands out
Trustpilot	3.9 out of 5	36	69% five-star, 28% one-star, almost nothing in between. 33% of negative reviews have a reply.
Clutch	3.5 out of 5	12	Cost is rated 3.5 out of 5.

Two things to keep in mind. Both samples are small, and both cover every industry Scorpion serves, so neither is a roofing score. And a split like 69% five-star and 28% one-star usually means experiences vary by client, not that everyone had an average one. Read a handful of the five-star and one-star reviews and look for your situation: your size, your services, and whether the reviewer stayed past the first year.

The contract: 12 months for most of it

Scorpion is clear about this, which is to its credit. Its FAQ says:

“Scorpion typically requires a 12-month contract for our marketing technology”

On the roofing page, the same sentence continues “and certain marketing services”, and SEO is one of them. Advertising is different: “Digital advertising services like Google Ads, LSAs, Meta, etc. are typically month-to-month terms.”

A term is not a problem in itself. What matters is that you know the full cost of the term before you sign, because Scorpion does not publish it.

What you keep if you leave

This is the part most roofers searching for Scorpion reviews want answered. In Scorpion’s words:

“you own your website after the length of your contract with Scorpion is complete”

It also says the assets are yours: the domains, the content, and the imagery.

There is a catch, and Scorpion states it plainly: “While you won’t own the underlying system”, the site runs on Scorpion’s platform. When you leave, “Our team will ensure you receive your website’s static files, design assets, and content for future use”, and “You’ll need to work with another vendor to rebuild your website.”

Here is how that compares with our terms, side by side:

When you leave	Scorpion (after the contract term)	The Roofer SEO Company
Your domain	Yours	Yours
Content and images	Yours	Yours
The website itself	Static files and design assets are sent to you; the platform stays with Scorpion	Yours, with admin access handed off
Do you need a rebuild?	”You’ll need to work with another vendor to rebuild your website”	No: run it yourself, hire another agency, or move platforms
Minimum term	12 months for marketing technology and SEO	None, month to month
Exit fees	Not stated on the FAQ	None

How long the website takes

Scorpion’s roofing page says “The timeline for launching a website typically ranges from four to 10 weeks”, depending on contract specifics. Ours is a written promise: your new site is live within 7 days of getting what we need from you (domain access, your logo if you have one, your services and your service area), or your first month is free. That promise is about launch speed only. Nobody can promise rankings or leads, and we do not.

What Scorpion costs

Scorpion does not publish prices. Its roofing page says: “The investment you decide to make with Scorpion depends on your business goals.”

The only public numbers are reviewer-reported project sizes on Clutch, across all industries: the most common project size is $200,000 to $999,999 (7 reviews), SEO projects run $50,000 to $199,999 (5 reviews), and web design $10,000 to $49,000 (2 reviews). Those are totals reported by a few clients, not a price list, and many are larger companies than a typical roofer. Treat them as a sign to ask for one number in writing: the total you will pay over the full 12 months.

Once you have that quote, put it into the year-one calculator on our pricing page next to our flat $995 a month ($11,940 a year) and see year one and year two side by side.

Who Scorpion is a good fit for

Being fair to them: Scorpion fits a roofing company that wants one vendor for paid ads, SEO, the website, reviews and AI phone answering, has the budget for a platform, and is comfortable with a 12-month term for the technology. Its terms are published and specific, which is more than many agencies offer.

It is a weaker fit if you want to leave any month, want the website itself to stay running when you go, or want to see a price before a sales call.

Roofing alternatives, with their published terms

Company	Published price	Minimum term	Ownership if you leave	Source
Hook Agency	Local SEO + AEO $3,750 a month; Standard Website $12K split over 12 months	”Our home services SEO contracts start out as 12-month contracts"	"You own your website 100%“	Pricing, SEO FAQ
Footbridge Media	$249 a month, “$0 Setup Fees"	"We do not do contracts. Period."	"If you leave, you take it with you.”	Roofer page
CinchLocal	Not published (“specific to your market”); says roofing SEO “typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,500+ per month"	"Cancel anytime”	Not stated beyond “Every strategy we build is 100% yours”	Roofing SEO page
Roofing Webmasters	”$99 to Start! Call for Details”, then “a regular month-to-month fee”	Month to month	Not addressed on the home page	Home page
The Roofer SEO Company	$995 a month flat, no setup fees	None, month to month	Your domain, website and content, with admin access	Pricing

All checked in October 2026. Two of these also limit themselves to one roofer per area: CinchLocal (“we lock out every other roofing company in your service area”) and us (one roofing company per service area). One more honest note about us: we are new to roofing. We have 13 years of results in other industries and no roofing case studies yet, which is exactly why we work month to month.

Five questions to ask before you sign any 12-month contract

1. What is the total for the full term, in writing? Monthly fee, setup, website, ad management and ad spend, all of it.
2. What exactly do I own on day one, and on the day I leave? Ask for the domain, the website files, the content, the Google Business Profile, and the call-tracking numbers by name.
3. Can I leave early, and what does it cost? If the answer is “pay out the term”, know that number before you sign.
4. Will the website keep running if I leave, or will it need a rebuild? Get this in writing.
5. Do you work with other roofers in my service area?
