Get found on Google when
homeowners search your area
When a homeowner searches "plumber near me" or "HVAC repair in [your city]," Google picks which contractors to show. Local SEO is how you get picked. We handle everything: Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, and monthly reporting.
What is included in Local SEO for contractors?
We handle the ongoing SEO work that most contractors know they should be doing but don't have time for.
Google Business Profile Optimization
We audit and optimize your Google listing: categories, services, business description, photos, attributes, and posting schedule. This is the single biggest lever for showing up in the local map pack.
Local Citation Building
We submit your business to the directories that matter for contractors: Yelp, BBB, Angi, HomeAdvisor, and 20+ industry-specific sites. Consistent name, address, and phone across the web signals trust to Google.
Review Strategy Setup
We set up a review request system so you consistently get new Google reviews. More recent reviews = higher ranking. We also respond to your reviews professionally.
Monthly SEO Report
A simple report emailed to you each month showing your Google ranking for key searches, website traffic, call volume, and what we worked on. No jargon, just numbers.
On-Page SEO for Your Website
If you have a Turnkey Dispatch website, we optimize every page for your target keywords and service area. Title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, and internal linking.
Competitor Monitoring
We track what your top local competitors are doing: their review count, rating, posting frequency, and ranking. You see where you stand and what to do next.
How much does Local SEO cost for contractors?
SEO agencies charge $500-2,000/month for contractor SEO. We charge $99/month because we've built a system specifically for home service businesses. Same playbook, lower overhead, better price.

How does Local SEO help contractors get more calls?
When a homeowner has a plumbing emergency, a broken AC, or needs an electrician, the first thing they do is search Google. They type "plumber near me" or "HVAC repair [city name]" and call one of the first businesses they see. If your business doesn't appear in those results, you don't get the call. Someone else does.
Local SEO is the process of making sure your business appears in those searches. The main factors Google uses to decide which contractors to show are: how complete and accurate your Google Business Profile is, how many recent reviews you have and how high your rating is, whether your business name and address are consistent across the web, and whether you have a website with relevant content for the searches people are making.
Most contractors know reviews matter, but they don't know that Google also looks at categories, attributes, posting frequency, citation consistency, and website structure. These are the signals that separate the business in position 1 from the business in position 10. Our job is to optimize all of them, consistently, every month.
Frequently asked questions
What is local SEO and why does it matter for contractors?+
Local SEO is the process of making your business show up when homeowners in your area search Google for your services. When someone searches 'plumber near me' or 'HVAC repair in [your city]', Google decides which businesses to show based on relevance, distance, and prominence. Local SEO improves your prominence by optimizing your Google listing, building citations, and getting reviews. For contractors, this is where the majority of new customers come from.
How long does it take to see results from local SEO?+
Most contractors see measurable improvement in Google ranking within 60-90 days. The first month is setup: optimizing your Google Business Profile, building citations, and fixing inconsistencies. Months 2-3 are when Google starts recognizing the signals. By month 4-6, you should see a noticeable increase in calls from Google searches. SEO compounds over time, so results get stronger the longer you maintain it.
Do I need a website for local SEO to work?+
A Google Business Profile alone can rank in the local map pack. But having a professional website significantly improves your chances because Google uses website signals (content, structure, speed) to determine your relevance. Contractors with both a GBP and a website consistently outrank those with just a GBP. That's why we offer a 90-day free SEO trial when you get a website built with us.
What is the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?+
Regular SEO focuses on ranking your website in organic search results for broad terms. Local SEO focuses on ranking in the map pack and local results for location-specific searches. For contractors, local SEO is far more valuable because your customers are searching with local intent: 'electrician in Austin' not just 'electrician.' Local SEO emphasizes your Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, and proximity to the searcher.
Can I do local SEO myself?+
You can do the basics: claim your Google Business Profile, fill it out completely, ask happy customers for reviews, and post photos regularly. But most contractors don't have time to do it consistently while running jobs. The value of a managed SEO service is consistency. We post, optimize, monitor, and report every month so nothing falls through the cracks while you focus on your work.
