About House of Garda
Practical Growth Systems for Local Businesses That Need More Than Random Marketing
We help trades and local service businesses turn calls, website visits, reviews, and follow-ups into a simple growth system that actually supports revenue.
We are not here to sell bloated campaigns. We are here to find the leaks, fix the process, and help small teams grow with more clarity and less chaos.
Who We Are
House of Garda is a growth strategy and AI systems partner for trades and local service businesses.
We help owners answer the questions that actually matter:
- Why are some leads not turning into booked work?
- Are missed calls or slow follow-ups costing us jobs?
- Are reviews helping us get chosen?
- Is our website built to convert or just look nice?
- Which marketing efforts are actually producing revenue?
Then we help install the systems to fix those gaps.
Who We Help
Primary Focus: Trades & Home Services
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, landscaping, auto repair, contracting, and local service teams that rely on calls, quotes, bookings, and reviews.
Also a Fit: Local Clinics & Consultants
Lactation consultants, therapists, wellness providers, specialty clinics, and professional service providers who need trust, follow-up, and a clear client journey.
Selective Projects: Creators & Community Builders
Newsletters, courses, communities, merch, mission-driven projects, and creators who need infrastructure behind their audience.
How We Work
1. Audit the Growth Leaks
We look at your website, Google profile, reviews, lead capture, follow-up process, and tracking so we can see where revenue is slipping away.
2. Fix the Highest-Value Gaps First
We do not start with everything. We start with the fastest path to more calls, more reviews, better follow-up, and clearer tracking.
3. Install the Local Growth Engine
We build the simple systems behind the scenes: review requests, missed-call recovery, lead follow-up, landing pages, dashboards, and practical automations.
4. Audit the Growth Leaks
Once the foundation is working, we improve it with focused 90-day cycles so growth becomes less random and more repeatable.
MEET THE FOUNDERs
Real Business Growth, Without the Guesswork
I’m Mario, co-founder of House of Garda.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked across leadership, sales, operations, manufacturing, service, technology, and business strategy. What I’ve learned is simple: growth problems are rarely just marketing problems.
Sometimes the phone is not being answered fast enough. Sometimes the website is unclear. Sometimes reviews are not being requested. Sometimes the team has no idea which leads turned into revenue.
House of Garda exists to help small businesses connect those dots and build simple systems that make growth easier to manage.
I started House of Garda to give small businesses and creators a growth partner they can actually trust—one who knows how to blend strategy with execution.
