    SEO for Contractors

    How SEO Gets Contractors More Jobs in King County

    Show up when local homeowners search for your trade. Every site includes the technical and local SEO foundation.

    What is Local SEO?

    When a homeowner in Seattle needs a roofer, they open Google and type "roofing contractor near me." Local SEO is what determines whether your business shows up — or your competitor's.

    It's a combination of how your website is structured, what content it has, how fast it loads, whether Google understands your business, and how consistent your information is across the internet.

    The good news: We build all of this into every contractor website from day one. You don't need to hire a separate SEO agency or pay monthly retainers just to get found on Google.

    What I Do for Your SEO

    Keyword Research

    We find the exact phrases your customers search — 'roofer near me,' 'Auburn plumber,' 'kitchen remodel Kent.' Then we build your site around them.

    On-Page SEO

    Every page gets optimized title tags, meta descriptions, header structure, image alt text, and internal linking — built right into the site.

    Google Business optimization, schema markup, NAP consistency, and city-specific landing pages so you show up in your service areas.

    SEO Questions Contractors Ask

    Is SEO really included in the website price?

    Yes. Every site we build includes on-page SEO, schema markup, Google Business setup, and local optimization. There's no separate SEO charge — it's baked into the design from day one.

    How long does it take to see SEO results?

    Most contractors see meaningful ranking improvements within 3-4 months. Full results typically take 6-12 months, but you'll start appearing in local searches well before that.

    Do I need a blog for SEO?

    Not required, but it helps. Blog posts target specific search queries that your main pages can't. We include blog setup in Pro and Premium packages.

    What about Google Ads vs SEO?

    Google Ads gets instant traffic but stops when you stop paying. SEO builds lasting visibility. Most contractors benefit from both, but SEO is the foundation. We focus on organic search — if you need ads, we can recommend a specialist.

    Will you manage my Google Business profile?

    We set it up and optimize it as part of your website project. For ongoing management (posting updates, responding to reviews), that's something we can discuss as an add-on.

    How much does SEO cost for contractors?

    Most agencies charge $1,000 to $3,000 a month for contractor SEO on top of a website build. Here the SEO is part of the build, and ongoing local SEO starts at $400 a month on the Essential plan, $750 on Growth and $1,150 on the Website Growth Partner plan. No setup surprises and no long contracts.

    How many location pages should a contractor website have?

    One page for each city you genuinely serve and can describe in real detail, usually five to fifteen. A page needs its own local content, jobs and service notes. Ten thin copy-paste city pages do more harm than five good ones.

    Do contractors really need SEO?

    If you rely on referrals only, you are invisible to the homeowner who opens Google at 9pm with a leaking roof. Local search is where most emergency and replacement work starts, and unlike ads it keeps working after you stop paying.

    SEO built for your trade

    A roofer and a plumber need very different things from a website. Roofing buyers compare bids for weeks, plumbing buyers call in under a minute. Here is how I build for each one.
