What is contractor SEO?

Contractor SEO is the work that makes a contracting business show up when nearby homeowners search for the jobs it does, in the Google Maps top 3 and in regular results. It covers your Business Profile, a page for each service, project photos, reviews, local links and the technical fixes that let Google read it all.

Key takeaways

  • Homeowners hiring a contractor compare the three businesses in the map pack first.
  • Each service you want calls for needs its own page. One general services page can't rank for all of them.
  • Project photos and reviews from real jobs are the proof both Google and homeowners look for.

What's included

What our contractor SEO includes

Built from your audit, in the order that moves the map fastest.

Business Profile for contractors

Your main trade as the primary category, 3 to 5 secondary categories, and every service listed the way homeowners search for it.

A page for each service

Remodels, additions, roofing or decks: one page each, with what's included, timelines and photos from real projects.

Project write-ups

Finished jobs written up with the town, the scope and photos, so each one adds local proof.

Town pages without copies

Pages for the towns you want work in, each with local detail. We check that no two share more than half their main text.

Schema

GeneralContractor or the right trade type, with Service and FAQ markup and one consistent business entity.

Reviews

A request after every finished job, and a reply to every review.

Local links

Suppliers, the chamber of commerce, builder associations and local sponsorships.

Monthly map scans

The same grid, keywords and time of day every month, with competitors side by side.

Process

How a contractor SEO project runs

  1. Weeks 1 to 2

    Audit and baseline

    A full audit and scheduled map scans before anything changes, so the before and after are measured the same way.

  2. Weeks 3 to 6

    Service pages and schema

    Service pages rebuilt or written, schema fixed, and the profile's categories and services corrected.

  3. Weeks 7 to 12

    Projects, reviews and links

    Project write-ups, review requests and local links, with weekly profile posts.

  4. Every month

    Scan, report, decide

    A new map scan, a short report and the plan for the weakest part of the grid.

How we work

What we do differently for contractors

Contracting jobs are big and infrequent, so every search counts. These are the habits behind the Grand Rapids result.

Baseline before any change

We scan your grid on a schedule before touching anything. Without a baseline, nobody can tell what the work moved.

Repair and remodel kept apart

A homeowner searching for a kitchen remodel wants something different from one searching for a general contractor. Each gets its own page, so they don't compete.

Honest about the edges

Reports name the parts of the map still ranking 6th to 9th and what's planned for them, like the south edge toward Kentwood in Grand Rapids.

Pricing

How much does contractor SEO cost?

Contractor SEO is a fixed monthly fee, quoted after your free audit. It depends on how many services and towns you want to rank for and how strong the contractors already in the top 3 are.

  • You see the full scope before you agree to anything.
  • The monthly report shows what was done and what changed.
  • The free audit is yours to keep, whether or not you hire us.

Questions

Contractor SEO questions, answered

How long does contractor SEO take?

Profile and page fixes can move rankings in weeks, but competitive markets take months. A Grand Rapids general contractor went from 24% to 68% of its map in the top 3 between December 2024 and September 2026.

Do I need a separate page for every service?

For every service you want calls for, yes. Someone searching for a kitchen remodel should land on a kitchen remodel page, and Google ranks that page more easily than a general list of services.

Will town pages get my site penalized?

Not if each one is genuinely local. We write each town page with local detail and check that no two share more than half their main text. Pages that only swap the town name are the ones Google filters out.

How is contractor SEO different from local SEO?

It's local SEO built around how homeowners hire contractors: proof from real projects, a page for each big job, and trade-specific categories and schema.

Do you guarantee first place?

No. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and a guarantee is a warning sign. We commit to the work in your plan, scan the same grid every month and show you the before and after.
