Contractor SEO

SEO for Contractors & Home‑Service Businesses

You offer a dozen services across a dozen towns, and customers search for each one separately. We build the pages, Business Profile and reviews that put your company in front of them for each job, in each town, and we show you every month what changed.

Step 1 of 3

Signs it’s time

Signs your trade business is missing local calls

  • The same three competitors get the map calls

    Search your main service and your town. If the same three names fill the map every time and yours isn’t one, they’re answering the calls you should be getting.

  • Your services share one page

    When every service is a bullet on one page, Google can’t tell which job you want to rank for, and neither can the customer.

  • You work in ten towns but show up in one

    Most contractors rank near the shop and disappear a few miles out, even in the towns where they do the most work.

  • Busy season comes and goes without extra calls

    When demand jumps, the companies already ranking take the extra work. SEO has to be in place before the season, not during it.

What’s included

SEO built around how people hire a contractor

Contractor SEO uses the same building blocks as our local SEO services, arranged around the way trade customers search: by job, by town, and often in a hurry.

Your page plan

Services times towns. The page plan for service‑area businesses.

A roofer with five services and eight towns has forty searches to win, not one. We don’t build forty thin pages. We build a plan:

The contractor SEO page plan: each layer, what it covers and when we build it
LayerWhat it coversWhen we build it
Service pagesOne page per service, for the whole area you coverFirst, for the services you want more of
Town pagesOne page per town where you do steady work, with jobs, reviews and details from thereNext, for your best towns
Service-in-town pagesA specific service in a specific town, only where you have real jobs to showOnly where demand and proof justify it
Job contentFinished jobs tagged by service and town, adding fresh proof every monthOngoing, with FieldPins or your own posts
  • Emergency searches

    “Burst pipe”, “no AC” and “power out” searches happen at all hours and go to whoever looks ready to answer. That means accurate hours on your Business Profile, a call button above the fold, and pages that say plainly when you take emergency calls.

  • Seasonal demand

    AC repair peaks in summer, heating and roofing before winter storms. We publish and update seasonal pages and Business Profile posts a few weeks ahead of the rush, so you’re already visible when it starts.

  • Review requests and response help (Professional and Growth plans)
  • Technical checks and fixes
  • Map grid rank tracking across the towns you serve

It starts with an audit of your site, profile and rankings.

Process

How contractor SEO works with us. Four clear steps.

You have one point of contact from the first call to launch, and you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Audit

    We review your website, Business Profile, reviews and rankings for each main service across the towns you cover.

  2. 02

    Page plan

    You get a service-by-town plan: which pages to build or fix first, based on the jobs you want and where you can win.

  3. 03

    Build & fix

    We fix technical issues, sharpen your profile, and build service and town pages in the order the plan sets.

  4. 04

    Track & report

    Monthly grid scans in your key towns and a plain-English report, then we adjust the plan for the next month.

Business Profile and technical fixes often show movement within a few months. Ranking for competitive services in larger towns takes longer.

FAQ

Contractor SEO questions

The questions trade business owners ask before SEO work starts.

Local SEO for contractorsTypes of contractor digital marketingWhat is SEO?

How is contractor SEO different from regular local SEO?

The tools are the same. The plan is different: contractors usually sell many services across many towns, with emergency and seasonal swings, so the page plan and reporting are built around services and towns rather than one location.

Which trades do you work with?

Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest control, pool service, masonry and other home-service businesses. Plumbing companies can also see plumbing SEO.

How much does contractor SEO cost?

Plans start at $149 a month. Local Starter ($149/mo) covers one city, Local Professional ($349/mo) covers up to three, and Local Growth (from $749/mo) covers up to six. Every plan starts with an audit, included in your first month, with a 3-month minimum, then month to month.

How many towns can you cover?

Up to six on Local Growth. If you work in more, we start with the towns that bring the most profitable jobs and add others as pages and rankings build.

How long until I see more calls?

Profile and technical fixes can show movement within a few months. New service and town pages take longer to rank, especially in competitive towns. Your monthly report shows what moved.

Can SEO help with emergency calls?

Yes, if the basics are right: accurate hours, a call button that’s easy to find, and pages that say when you take emergency work. We set those up first.

Do I need a new website first?

Not always. Many sites can be fixed. If yours is slow, hard to use on a phone or has no service pages, see contractor website design.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Google decides rankings, and map results change with where the customer searches. We guarantee the work, the scans and an honest report every month.

Ready to show up in every town you serve?

Start with an audit of your website, Business Profile and rankings across your service area. We’ll show you which services and towns to win first.
