Blue Tangerine vs Contractor Scale

Blue Tangerine or Contractor Scale: start with the homes you sell and the work your team needs.

A community with available homes needs different website tools from a custom builder qualifying a new project. Write down those requirements before comparing a website or marketing proposal.

What Blue Tangerine publishes.

Blue Tangerine publishes home-builder websites, listing feeds, interactive site plans and sales-office kiosks. Its marketing services include SEO, paid search, social, email nurture and analytics. That makes its housing inventory and community-sales tools a useful part of the comparison, alongside its marketing offer.

What you would be buying from Contractor Scale.

Our Growth System connects marketing, enquiry response, qualification and sales follow-up. Growth includes one paid channel, a caller, CRM and short-cycle follow-up. Scale adds SEO, project-led content, reviews, partner work and long-cycle nurture. New engagements have a 12-month initial term and a month-three progress review. Major website rebuilds and bespoke work are separately scoped.

How to compare the written proposals.

Separate your website specification from your enquiry-handling specification. List any inventory feeds or interactive plans you need. Then describe what happens after an enquiry arrives. If both need work, ask each provider to price both responsibilities clearly and show relevant evidence.

Builder case studies behind the comparison

If you are comparing providers, pressure-test with real outcomes — not promises. These case studies show how demand, response, qualification, and conversion perform in live builder markets.

JRA Construction · Auckland

Auckland townhouse project: demand that matched a multi-unit sell-down

JRA needed buyers for a tight eight-unit programme — not tyre-kickers. Four Meta lead-generation angles (General, Young Pros, Investors, Growing Families) produced 287 form leads at about $4,424 spend. When every property in the development was under contract, the client asked to pull the ads.

Units — all under contract: 8
Lead form results: 287
Total Meta spend: $4,424
Blended cost per lead: ~$15.41

Davies Building · Brisbane

Brisbane remodels: search intent into two solid contracts — not quote fodder

Google Ads reached homeowners already looking to remodel in Brisbane. Two solid projects advanced from that demand. Poor-fit enquiries were ruled out fast rather than chased.

Projects contracted: 2 major remodels
Combined project value: ~$1.2M
Primary channel: Google Ads

Signed Phase 1 agreements: 2 in one week
