SEO for general contractors

SEO for general contractors starts with pages that deserve to rank, not with a separate SEO invoice

SEO for general contractors here means the site is structured to rank from the day it launches: a page per service, a page per town, and researched articles on a weekly schedule, rather than a generic site with SEO sold as an unrelated add-on.

What it costs

  • Plans$127 a month
  • Build fee$697, after launch
  • Live in7 days
  • Revisions5 a month
  • Domain and hostingIncluded

Who it is for

Who is SEO for general contractors for?

General contractors who have paid for SEO before without seeing estimate requests, or who have never had a site that ranks for anything beyond their own business name.

Ground conditions

Signs you need it

  • You only show up when someone searches your company name.

  • A past SEO package produced a report but no new enquiries.

  • Directories rank above you for "general contractor" plus your town.

  • Your site has no articles, or none since the year it launched.

01

Service and location pages are the foundation

The largest local SEO gain for a general contractor comes from having a real page for each service crossed with each town served, rather than one page trying to rank for every combination at once. This structure is built into every plan, not sold as a separate SEO package.

  • One page per service you bid
  • One page per town, county or metro served
  • Internal links connecting related service and location pages

02

Speed and technical basics, guaranteed

A 90+ PageSpeed score is guaranteed because page speed is a ranking factor and, more directly, because a slow site loses the enquiry before search ranking even matters. Clean semantic markup, correct heading structure and per-page schema are part of every build, not an audit finding to fix later.

03

Ongoing articles compound over time

Researched articles, published on a weekly schedule and answering questions your buyers actually search, add topical depth around your services and towns month over month. This is the part of SEO that a one-time site build cannot deliver on its own, which is why it runs continuously on every plan.

How weekly articles stack up: a researched article every week; answers what buyers search; depth grows month over month; found for more searches.

Deliverables

Risk, reversed

What if the site does not deliver?

Then the work continues at our cost, not yours. The guarantees below are written into our terms, with their limits stated as plainly as the promises.

  • The build fee comes last

    The $697 build fee is invoiced only after your site is live and you have told us you are satisfied with it.

  • 90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed

    On mobile and desktop for pages we build and host. If a page falls below it because of our work, we fix it at no charge.

  • Local rankings in a stated window

    If your site is not ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch, we keep doing the search work at no extra charge until it is.

  • Your domain, your content

    The domain is registered in your name. Leave, and we transfer it free and export your content within 14 days.

  • No long contract

    Month to month. Cancel by email with 2 business days notice before your next invoice and no further invoice is raised.

  • The limits, plainly

    Neither guarantee covers changes you or third parties make, content published against our advice, or rankings for terms outside your area or services. The remedy is the corrective work, not a refund: all sales are final, except a duplicate or incorrect charge made by us. Full detail in the terms and the refund policy.

Client reviews

Client reviews from contractors like you

  • They asked to see the questions customers genuinely ask us about renovation inquiries, which I respected. They identified which questions belonged on the site and we checked every answer before launch. Pointing people to the page has replaced hunting through old emails.

    FAQ research and editorial review for renovation inquiries

  • The old renovation inquiries PDF made sense on a printer and nowhere else. Staff now link to the precise section instead of wishing callers luck with a long document. Callers have stopped apologizing for not being able to read it.

    Structured reference pages for renovation inquiries

  • We have only just started collecting this data for renovation inquiries, and it has already changed our reviews. The report separates genuine inquiries from raw traffic and leaves message content out of it. It establishes honest measurement without pretending to prove results.

Questions about SEO for general contractors

Is SEO a separate cost on top of the monthly fee?

No. Service pages, location pages, technical SEO basics and weekly articles are part of every plan, not a separate line item.

How long until we see ranking improvement?

Local ranking improvement typically develops over 3 to 5 months after launch, since content and links accumulate authority over time. There is no guarantee attached to a specific ranking position, because no legitimate SEO service can promise one.

Do you guarantee a specific ranking position?

No. We guarantee a 90+ PageSpeed score and that your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within the window set out in our terms; we do not guarantee a specific position for a specific keyword, since no honest provider controls that.

Can you help if we already rank for some terms and do not want to lose that?

Yes. If you are migrating from an existing site, we map your existing URLs to their new equivalents with redirects so ranking signal already earned is not lost.

What is AEO and GEO for a contractor?

AEO (answer engine optimization) makes your pages easy to quote in featured snippets and voice answers, through answer-first copy and FAQ blocks. GEO (generative engine optimization) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews understand and cite your business. Both are included with the SEO work on every plan.

Does schema markup help a construction company?

Yes. Structured data tells search engines your business details, the services you offer and the questions you answer. We add Organization or LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList markup to every page by default.

Do location pages still work for local SEO?

When they are genuinely local, yes. A page per town that names the neighborhoods and permitting jurisdictions you know, crossed with your services, is how a contractor ranks for searches that include a place name. Thin pages with the town name swapped do not.

Does a faster site help SEO and ads?

Speed is part of the page experience search engines assess, and Google counts landing page experience in the Quality Score for ads. A fast site helps both; we do not promise a specific ranking or cost-per-click result.
