Marketing for general and trade contractors

Get picked from the "contractors near me" list, at the price you're worth.

Most contractors want steady, profitable work without chasing every lead app. But most agencies sell clicks and disappear. Don't get stuck paying for leads you share with five other contractors. We'll build the system that makes you the obvious pick in your towns and shows you which jobs your marketing paid for.

A live call with our team. You'll leave with your top three fixes.

Foundation enables execution

Build it in this order, and every piece makes the next one work.

Most marketing fails because it's built upside down: ads before a message, content before proof. We build from the base up.

  • 1A clear message, before any design or traffic
  • 2Website, videos and messaging that build trust and drive sales
  • 3Proof from day one: reviews, projects, video
  • 4Ads and remarketing, paid search first
  • 5Content that gets found: guides, service and town pages
  • 6Systems, people and process, so growth doesn't bury you
Brand script first. Design second. Always.

Musket ball, then cannonball

Start with one core campaign. Then roll out more.

One campaign, one service, your home town, tracked to the paid job. Once it hits the target, we copy what worked across every service and every town you serve.

  • 1One campaign to test the offer, the hook and the follow-up
  • 2Track cost per paid job, not cost per click
  • 3Hit the target, then add service and town campaigns
  • 4More campaigns, more content, more ranking pages, same system

What we hear from contractors

Tired of feast-or-famine months and leads you share with five other contractors?

You're on a roof or in a trench all day. Calls go to voicemail, the lead app sends the same homeowner to four competitors, and the slow months still show up. That's not a work problem. It's a system problem.

Sound familiar?

30-80%Most businesses waste 30-80% of their marketing spend. Nobody tracked the ad to the paid invoice, so the waste stayed invisible.
Nobody connects the dots✕✕✕Lead appsWeb guyYard signsSpreadsheetAnswering svcReview appOnesystemWebsiteLeadsReviewsInvoicesInboxAds

Lead apps, signs and answering services all cost money, and none of them tell you which one paid for itself.

01Advertise

Feast or famine.

Busy for three months, scrambling for two. Referrals and lead apps can't be turned up when the schedule opens.

Cost of waitingYou fill the gaps with low-margin work and discounting, and a good crew sits idle.
02Advertise

Leads from apps you don't control.

The same homeowner gets sent to four contractors. You pay for the lead and race to call first.

Cost of waitingRented leads get pricier every year, and you never own a single asset.
03Convert

Missed calls on the job site.

You can't answer while you're working. The homeowner calls the next name on the list.

Cost of waitingEvery missed call is a job that went to a competitor before you climbed down the ladder.
04Advertise

No idea what's working.

You know what you spend, not what it brings back. So you can't double down on what's profitable.

Cost of waitingMost businesses waste 30-80% of their marketing spend. You keep funding what doesn't work.

1
Advertise · AdsYou can't connect ad spend to sales.

You know what you spend, not what it brings back. So you keep funding what doesn't work.

Every lead is traced to the ad that brought it, so you fund what works.

2
Advertise · LeadsLeads aren't predictable.

Some months the phone rings. Some months it doesn't. When referrals slow, the discounting starts.

A steady flow of leads from ads, search and referrals, month after month.

3
Convert · WebsiteYour website doesn't sell.

It looks fine, but nothing tells a stranger why you're the better choice. So they call whoever makes it easy.

A clear message and real proof, so strangers know why you're the better choice.

4
Prove · TrustContent that builds trust never gets made.

When it does, it doesn't sound like you. So buyers compare you on price like everyone else.

Reviews, stories and videos in your voice, every month.

5
Convert · The saleYou can't sell the bigger, higher-margin job.

You quote what people ask for, one piece at a time, instead of guiding them to the full solution.

A sales process that guides buyers to the full, higher-margin solution.

6
Scale · DeliveryYour team is buried and your tools don't talk.

Double entry, busywork and a patchwork of apps. Your best people burn out, or leave.

One connected system and a trained team, so nothing falls through.

Finish the core before you go outward.

Marketing isn't a project. It's a system that compounds. We build it from the center out: convert first, then paid search, then each ring as the last one pays for itself. Tap a stage, or let it play.

The fundamentals homeowners expect, plus the advantages that make them pay off, built in the right order for a contracting company.

The fundamentals

The advantages

Fundamental 1 of 8

Strategy and messaging workshops

ProblemYour message sounds like everyone else's, so good prospects can't tell why they should pick you.
SolutionWe sit down with you and find the words that make your best customers say, "that's exactly us."
ResultOne clear story. Every page, ad and video says the same thing, and the right buyers lean in.

So that you can stand out and win work on value, not just price.

  • Your one-liner and story
  • Who you serve and why they buy
  • The message every page and ad uses
Fundamental 2 of 8

Brand and design standards

  • Monthly creative tests
  • Search term and waste cleanup
  • Cost per lead and per job watched
Advantage 1 of 6 · what most agencies won't do
