Website & Local SEO

A Website That Actually Wins You Jobs

Google removed the direct call button from Map Pack listings in 2025. Contractors without a fast, complete web presence are now structurally invisible to new customers.

The Map Pack Changed. Most Contractor Sites Didn't.

Until 2024, a customer could tap "Call" directly from your Google Maps listing. Now they click through to your website first — and what they find determines whether they call or move on. A slow, outdated site is no longer a cosmetic problem. It is a direct revenue leak.

What We Build

Every site we deliver is purpose-built for one goal: converting local search intent into booked jobs.

Sub-2s Load Time

Hand-coded HTML, no bloated page builders. We optimise images, eliminate render-blocking scripts, and target a Core Web Vitals score that ranks.

Mobile-First Layout

Over 70% of home service searches happen on a phone. Every element — click-to-call button, booking form, trust signals — is designed for a thumb, not a cursor.

Google Business Profile Optimisation

We fully optimise your Google Business Profile listing — categories, services, Q&A, photo strategy, and post schedule — to maximise your Map Pack surface area.

Trust Architecture

Licences, insurance badges, BBB accreditation, Google rating widget, before/after photos, and named technician bios — every element that turns a click into a call.

Schema & Structured Data

LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema tell Google exactly who you are, what you do, and where you serve — improving both Map Pack and AI Overview appearances.

Booking Integration

We embed your scheduling tool (Jobber, Housecall Pro, Workiz) or a custom form so customers can book without leaving your site. Every submission triggers your lead automation.

What Good Looks Like

Most contractor sites today

  • Page loads in 6–12 seconds on mobile
  • Homepage has a logo and a phone number, nothing else
  • No reviews visible anywhere on the site
  • Service pages are thin or non-existent
  • Google Business Profile is unclaimed or barely filled out
  • No booking option — contact form goes to a generic inbox
  • Site was built in 2016 and hasn't been touched since
  • Google can't determine what services or areas you cover

Who This Is For

No website yet

You're relying on word of mouth, Facebook, or a Yelp listing. Every competitor who has a proper site is capturing leads you'll never know you missed.

Outdated or slow site

Your site is 5+ years old, doesn't load fast on mobile, or looks like it was built with a free template. First impressions decide whether someone calls you or the next guy.

Low Map Pack visibility

You're showing up in search results but not in the top-3 Map Pack positions. A technically optimised site with strong Google Business Profile signals is the fastest lever to move up.

High bounce rate

Your analytics show traffic arriving but not converting. Visitors land and immediately leave — usually because the site is unclear, slow, or doesn't show trust signals above the fold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you design websites from scratch or use templates? +

We build custom sites — no page-builder templates. Every site is hand-coded for performance and designed around how local service customers actually search and decide. Templates look generic and load slowly; both hurt conversions and rankings.

How long does it take to rank on Google Maps? +

For most service businesses in mid-sized US cities, you can expect meaningful Maps visibility within 60–90 days of launch if the site is technically clean, Google Business Profile is fully optimised, and review velocity picks up. Competitive metro areas (Houston, Atlanta) take longer. We set realistic expectations during onboarding.

What happened with Google Maps in 2025? +

Google removed the direct call button from Map Pack listings in late 2024/early 2025. Customers now click through to the website before calling. If your site is slow, outdated, or missing key trust signals, you lose jobs that used to come directly from Maps.

Is the $300/month retainer required? +

No. The $1,500 setup delivers a complete, live website. The $300/month retainer is for businesses that want ongoing content additions, Google Business Profile post publishing, and citation management. Most clients take the retainer for the first 3–6 months then evaluate.

Does the website work with my existing software (Jobber, HouseCall Pro, etc.)? +

Yes. We wire up booking widgets or embed your scheduling tool's iframe directly. Customers can book without leaving your site. We also connect contact forms to your CRM or trigger your lead response automation.
