Built for your trade
Every trade sells differently. Your website should too.
Roofing & exteriors
Storm-season searches are won by fast sites with real photos and reviews. We build the before/after galleries and quote forms that convert them.
Landscaping, lawn & snow
Seasonal businesses live and die by the pre-season pipeline. We capture spring and first-snow demand and automate the contract renewals.
HVAC
A no-heat call in January goes to the first credible result with a phone number. Click-to-call, a page per service, and a review engine put you in that spot.
Plumbers
Emergency searches are won in seconds, planned work in weeks. One site has to answer both: a fast call path for the burst pipe, a credible quote path for the remodel.
Electricians
A licensed, insured, review-backed presence that separates you from the handyman listings — plus booking that fills the schedule.
Builders & remodelers
Big-ticket customers research for weeks. A portfolio site with real projects and a clear process wins the shortlist.
Excavating, concrete & septic
Word-of-mouth trades with no storefront — your website and Google profile are the storefront, working while you’re on the machine.
Search strategy
How contractors and trades win search in Oakland County
Trade searches split in two: the emergency search is decided in the map pack within a minute, the project search is researched for weeks in the organic results. One site has to win both, and most contractor sites win neither.
- 01
Set the Business Profile category to the job you want
Primary category is the strongest pack factor. A plumbing-and-heating company listed as "Contractor" loses "plumber near me" to a one-truck shop listed as "Plumber". Lead with the trade that has the most emergency demand; add the rest as secondary.
In Whitespark’s 2026 Local Search Ranking Factors survey of 47 experts, the primary Business Profile category is the top local pack factor, proximity is second, being open at the time of search is fifth, and reviews with text rank ninth. (Whitespark, Local Search Ranking Factors 2026)
- 02
One page per trade and per service
"Water heater replacement" and "drain cleaning" are different searches with different buyers. A page each, with price range, timeline and your own photos, ranks where a bulleted list on one page never will.
- 03
Ask for the review the day the job closes
Recent reviews with text outweigh lifetime count. An automatic request when the invoice is paid, with a direct link, turns two reviews a year into one a week. Reply to each; the reply is read by the next customer.
74% of consumers look for reviews written in the last three months. (BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026)
- 04
Answer the phone, or the ranking is worthless
Six in ten calls to small businesses go unanswered and most callers never retry. Click-to-call, an after-hours line and a missed-call text-back are part of the search strategy, not the office.
Telephony industry analyses find roughly 60% of calls to small businesses go unanswered, and about 85% of callers who reach no one do not call back. (Aira missed-call statistics)
- 05
Beat the marketplaces on the specific search
Lead sites outrank you on "roofer"; you outrank them on "metal roof lake orion" with a project page per town built from your own before-and-after photos. That lead is yours; theirs is sold to four of you.
76% of people who search for something nearby on their phone visit a business within 24 hours, and 28% of those searches end in a purchase. (Think with Google, via HubSpot)
This is the playbook our local SEO program runs month to month.
The winning setup
What a contractor website needs to actually win work.
- A mobile-fast site — your customers search from the driveway, not a desk
- Google Business Profile optimization so you show up in the map results
- A steady review engine — asked for automatically after every job
- Quote-request forms that reach your phone, not an inbox you check weekly
- Real project photos and service pages for every town you work
- Follow-up automation so no estimate dies in a text thread

Compare all pricingContractor website questions, answered.
All our work comes from referrals and lead sites. Why build a site at all?
Two reasons. Referrals still search your name before they call — a credible site with reviews is what closes them. And lead-site leads are sold to several competitors at once; the leads from your own site and Google profile are exclusively yours, with no per-lead fee.
Can you get us into the Google Maps results?
That is the core of the work: an optimized Google Business Profile, steady reviews, and local SEO built around the towns you actually serve. No one can honestly guarantee a map position, but this is the playbook that earns one.
What does this cost for a working trade?
Plans run $100–$300 per month with design, hosting, local SEO, Google profile work, and review management included — no big upfront build fee, no long-term contract. It is priced for a working trade, not a corporate marketing budget.
Can you fix the office side too — quotes, invoices, follow-ups?
Yes. Our workflow automation work connects the website to the back office: quote follow-ups, scheduling, invoice reminders, and review requests that send themselves, so evenings stop being admin time.
