Meet the founder
Michael Tesalona
Founder & CEO
Michael Tesalona leads Proven Marketing Now, a home-services marketing agency that positions itself around lead generation and customer acquisition for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and adjacent trades. The public founder story on the agency's site is brief; most of the visible copy focuses on the agency's service pitch rather than Tesalona's background, so any detailed career history would have to be confirmed elsewhere. What the site does communicate is the thesis behind the firm: that residential home-services operators are poorly served by generalist digital agencies who don't understand the rhythms of on-call trades work, seasonal demand swings, and the economics of a service truck's billable day. Proven Marketing Now's framing is that marketing for a plumber is not the same problem as marketing for an e-commerce brand or a SaaS company, and that channel mix, creative, and tracking all need to be built around booked jobs rather than clicks or impressions. The agency organizes itself around digital channels where buyer intent is highest at the moment of need, with an operating focus on phone calls and form fills that convert to dispatched jobs. Team size, tenure, and prior agency or operator experience are not detailed on the homepage reviewed, which limits what can be said with confidence about the founder's resume. Readers evaluating the firm should ask directly about Tesalona's background, how long the agency has operated, and what portion of its book is plumbing specifically versus the broader home-services category.
Editorial
Editor’s take
Proven Marketing Now positions itself as a home-services specialist with emphasis on lead generation and conversion optimization. The site centers on paid acquisition channels and customer lifetime value. Beyond positioning language, substantive detail on methodology or vertical specialization is sparse.
What they do
Services
Paid Search (Google Ads)
Built around high-intent plumbing queries such as emergency drain cleaning, water heater replacement, and burst pipe repair, with campaign structures that separate emergency from planned-service intent so bids and creative match the buyer's urgency.
Local Service Ads (LSA)
Manages Google Guaranteed setup, review velocity, and dispute workflows so plumbers capture the top-of-page pay-per-lead inventory that often outperforms traditional PPC on cost-per-booked-job.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Optimizes service-area pages, GBP categories, and review acquisition for multi-ZIP plumbing operators who need to rank in each town they dispatch to rather than only their HQ city.
Website Design and Conversion
Builds plumbing-focused sites with click-to-call prominence, service-specific landing pages, and trust elements (financing, warranties, licensing) aimed at converting mobile visitors who are mid-emergency.
Lead Tracking and Reporting
Implements call tracking and attribution so owners can see which channels produce booked jobs versus raw leads, aligning agency reporting with the metric a plumbing GM actually cares about.
