Contractor SEO & Website Design

Contractor websites start at $500/year, which includes custom design, hosting, analytics, and ongoing management. Most contractors pay $500-$1,000/year depending on the number of services and cities they want to target.

Yes. Local SEO is one of the best investments for contractors. When someone searches 'roofer near me' or 'deck builder minneapolis', they're ready to hire. Ranking for those searches means getting calls from people who need your services right now.

Most contractors start seeing results within 3-6 months. Google Business Profile improvements often show within weeks. Organic rankings for city-specific keywords take longer but provide steady leads once you rank.

You need both to maximize results. A website without SEO won't get found. SEO without a good website won't convert visitors into calls. They work together - the website converts, SEO drives traffic.

One roofing job can be $10,000+. One deck project can be $5,000+. If SEO brings you even one extra job per month, that's a massive return on a $100-300/month investment.

A good contractor website loads in under 3 seconds, works perfectly on mobile, has clear calls-to-action (call now, get a quote), showcases your work with before/after photos, includes reviews, and has dedicated pages for each service and city you serve.

City pages help you rank for location-specific searches like 'roofer eden prairie' or 'deck builder chanhassen'. Without them, you only rank for generic terms. With them, you can show up in every city across your service area.

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is your listing in Google Maps. When someone searches 'contractor near me', the map pack shows first. If your GBP isn't optimized, you won't show up there - even if your website is great.

Yes. While I'm based in Minneapolis, I work with contractors anywhere. The process is the same - we chat about your business, I build your site, you review it, and we launch when you're happy.

Monthly SEO includes Google Business Profile optimization, on-page SEO updates, keyword tracking, Google Search Console monitoring, and a monthly report showing your rankings, traffic, and progress. Higher tiers add competitor analysis and more city pages.

Next.js sites load in under 2 seconds (WordPress sites often take 4-6 seconds). Faster sites rank better on Google and convert more visitors. Plus there are no plugins to hack, no bloat, and scores of 90+ on Lighthouse performance tests.

You'll get monthly reports showing your keyword rankings, Google Search Console data (clicks, impressions, position), and traffic trends. You'll also notice more calls coming in from people who found you on Google.

Yes. I build the entire site before you pay anything. You'll get a preview link, make revisions, and only pay when you're happy with it. No risk on your end.

I can either optimize your existing site or build you a new one. Usually a rebuild makes more sense because most contractor websites are on slow platforms like Wix or WordPress with years of technical debt.

Yes, everything. Hosting, SSL certificates, analytics setup, domain configuration, security updates - I handle all of it. You focus on running your business.
