Market Disruptors vs Hook Agency
Hook Agency is a home services marketing agency that's been public about AEO and voice search as emerging channels — and we respect that positioning. Here's where our approaches diverge.
What Hook Agency does well
- Home services specialization — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and trades as primary verticals
- AEO and voice search as named services — an early home services agency to position around these
- YouTube and content marketing as client acquisition — strong educational content for contractors
- Web design, SEO, and PPC for home service contractors at mid-market pricing
- Active thought leadership: contractor-specific content on AI search and voice
What Market Disruptors does differently
- AI visibility as the sole focus — not one service on a menu of eight
- CitationIQ™ proprietary measurement — actual citation rate data, not general AEO guidance
- MAHI Index™ Share of Model tracking across 8 AI platforms — beyond voice search
- GEO and entity strategy as dedicated services with measurable outcomes
- 12 home service trades with trade-specific AI query libraries and citation benchmarks

The Verdict
Hook Agency deserves credit for being early on AEO and voice search for home services. But AEO as one item on a full-service agency menu is different from AEO as your entire company's reason for existing. We built CitationIQ™ specifically to measure AI citation rate — not as a side feature, but as the central client deliverable. If AI visibility is the priority, that depth of focus matters.
When Hook Agency wins
Hook Agency wins for home service contractors that want a full-service agency — web design, SEO, PPC, and AEO on the roadmap — at a mid-market price point ($3k–$8k/mo range). Their YouTube content is genuinely useful for contractors wanting to learn before buying.
When Market Disruptors wins
We win when AI citation rate is the specific metric you're optimizing for. CitationIQ™ gives you a measurable baseline, competitor citation data, and before/after tracking. AEO as one of eight services in a full-service agency isn't the same as AEO as the entire product.
