About

Built by an operator.
Not a consultant.

Most marketing agencies have never run a service business. They've never dealt with no-shows, missed calls, or the grind of competing for map pack position in a market where everyone looks the same. We have.

The Founder

Darren Burgard

I started Rankit99 after building a mobile detailing business in Atlanta from scratch — Sumptuous Mobile Detailing. I built the booking system, the review funnel, the GBP, the missed-call automation, all of it. The business hit $10k+/month and ran without me being on the phone all day.

Then other service business owners started asking how I did it. So I started doing it for them.

I'm not a marketing guy who learned about service businesses from a course. I'm an operator who learned marketing because I had to. That's the difference.

How We Think

Four principles. Non-negotiable.

Transparency over promises

We show you exactly what we're building, why, and what it's producing. No black boxes, no mystery reports. You understand the system you're paying for.

ROI over vanity

We track calls, leads, and booked revenue. Not impressions, not followers, not 'brand awareness.' If it doesn't move money, it doesn't matter.

Systems over tactics

A tactic works once. A system compounds. We build infrastructure that keeps generating leads 6 months from now without you having to think about it.

No long-term contracts

If the ROI is clear, you'll stay. If it's not, you shouldn't have to. We don't lock anyone in. The work speaks for itself.

How We Use AI

AI is a useful operator.
Not a replacement for one.

The systems we build can use AI for intake, data cleanup, call summaries, routing, and follow-up prompts. The business still owns the real service, the customer commitment, the exception, and the outcome.

Origin

We built it for ourselves first.

Sumptuous Mobile Detailing started as a side project. It became a case study in what happens when you build the right systems — a GBP with 196 five-star reviews, automated booking, missed-call text-back, and a review funnel that runs on its own.

The business generates $10k+/month. No-shows dropped to zero after we added deposit requirements and automated reminders. The operator doesn't have to be on the phone all day.

That's the template. We deploy it for other service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, detailing, health & wellness — and we refine it based on what each market actually responds to.

Who We Work With

We don't work with everyone.

We keep the roster small so the work stays sharp. Every client gets the same attention we gave our own business.

Right fit

  • Service business with consistent demand
  • Ready to invest in a system, not just a one-off tactic
  • Focused on measurable outcomes — calls, leads, booked revenue
  • Wants to understand what's working and why
  • HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, detailing, or similar

Not a fit

  • Looking for a one-time fix with no follow-through
  • Wants the cheapest option, not the right one
  • Expecting overnight results without real investment
  • Unwilling to share data or give honest feedback
  • Can't commit to at least 3 months

If this sounds like you,
let's talk.

Start with a free audit. No pitch deck. Just a direct conversation about where you're losing calls and what it would take to fix it.
