For ads and marketing, look at Sensei Digital, Simple Shed Marketing, Shed Better and MarketWiz. For quotes that go cold, look at Velocity 360 and Shed Suite. Agencies bring buyers to the lot. Software works the quotes you already have.
Seven companies side by side
The table comes from each company's own public page. Nobody was called and nothing was bought.
| Company | What it sells | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sensei Digital | Google and Meta ads, SEO and websites for carport, shed, garage and metal building dealers. It takes no clients outside outdoor buildings. | Ads and a site from a team that works only this industry |
| Simple Shed Marketing | One package: lot photo, video and drone sessions, daily Facebook and Instagram posts, flyers and managed Meta lead campaigns. | One team running social and Meta ads |
| Shed Better | Design, websites, branding, Google and Facebook marketing, and print ads in trade magazines. | Design and print along with digital |
| MarketWiz | An AI system for calls, chats and Marketplace messages that books site checks and sends quotes. It also serves real estate and apartment rentals, so it is not outdoor buildings only. | Lots that miss messages and Marketplace replies |
| Velocity 360 | A done-for-you CRM for shed, steel building and pole barn dealers. It also serves financial and real estate clients. | Lots where leads sit unanswered |
| Shed Suite | Dealer websites, lead management, CRM, RTO and cash contracts, payments and dispatch. | Quotes, contracts and delivery in one system |
| Lot Growth (our company) | A growth system and free workshop for dealers who sell off the lot: every quote followed up, every sale traced to the ad that brought it. | Dealers who want to run the system on their own lot |
Simple Shed Marketing's page shows $1,500 a month for its Q4 special, against a regular $2,500 a month. Ask every other company for the same plain number, and ask what the price leaves out.
Check any vendor before you sign
Open the vendor's own site and two or three of its client lots' sites. View the page source and search for fbq, gtag and googletagmanager. Those point to a Meta pixel, Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. If a vendor's own site tracks nothing, ask how it will show you which ad produced which quote.
Also ask:
- How long is the contract, and what does it cost to leave?
- Who owns the ad account and the pixel? It should be you.
- Which ad produced which quote, shown from your own site's tracking?
The check matters because many sites track nothing. In our 2026-08-01 scan of sites from our research into lot-based dealers, 132 of the 182 sites that loaded (72.5%) showed no Meta pixel in their home page code. A pixel loaded through Google Tag Manager does not show in that count, so the true share is somewhat lower. Also, 52 of the 182 sites that loaded (28.6%) had neither Google Analytics 4 nor Google Tag Manager. And 48 of the 182 sites that loaded (26.4%) had no Meta pixel, no Google Analytics 4 and no Google Tag Manager, which is what we call no tracking.
How we measured it: we read each home page's code. The list is our own, not the market. It holds mostly dealers plus a few of the agencies that sell to them, so it says nothing about any one agency or industry.
Agency or software
Look at last month's quotes to see what your lot is short of.
- Few quotes in the first place: you need buyers. Start with an agency.
- A pile of quotes and few deposits: you need follow-up. Start with software.
- Messages sitting unanswered on Marketplace or the phone: fix the reply speed first, with software or with a person.
Ads bring more people in the door. If nobody answers them fast, you pay for more cold quotes.
Fix this on your lot first
Do these before you give anyone a budget:
- Put a Meta pixel on the site, including the quote form page.
- Add Google Analytics 4 or Google Tag Manager.
- Send a test quote and confirm it shows up as an event in both.
- Name one person who owns the call back on every quote.
The full list is in what to fix before you spend more on shed marketing.
