Contractor websites built to rank and convert.
A contractor website isn’t about awards or animation. It’s about convincing a stressed homeowner in under 10 seconds that you’re the one to call. Fast load, mobile-first, click-to-call in the header, dedicated pages for every service and city you cover, real photos of real work, and the technical SEO foundation Google needs to actually rank you. This is what we build.
What makes a contractor site different
The biggest mistake contractors make is hiring a designer who builds the same kind of site they’d build for a yoga studio. Pretty hero image, "About Us" page, three vague service descriptions, contact form. That site doesn’t rank because it doesn’t tell Google what services you offer or what cities you serve. And it doesn’t convert because homeowners can’t find pricing, can’t see your work, and can’t tap the phone number.
A contractor website needs specificity. One page per service you offer (not "Our Services" with a paragraph each). One page per city you cover (Petaluma, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, etc.). Real before-and-after photos. Click-to-call in the header so the most common action takes one tap. Trust signals like reviews, license numbers, insurance info, years in business. And underneath all of that: the schema markup, sitemap, and Google Business Profile setup that lets Google rank you.
What you get
The build process
- Discovery (Week 1): 60-min kickoff call. I learn your services, voice, the jobs you actually want, and the cities you cover. You give me your existing logo, photos, GBP login.
- Build (Week 2–3): I build every page on a private staging URL. You review and give feedback. I revise.
- Launch (Week 3–4): Site goes live on your domain. I submit to Google Search Console, verify GBP, set up analytics. You start getting calls.
- 30-day check-in: We review what’s working, what’s indexing, what’s ranking. Adjust as needed.
Real example: We built Mark Daily Handyman Services — a 34-page contractor site with 13 service pages, 4 city pages, and 9 blog posts. Submitted to Google at launch with proper sitemaps, schema, and canonical tags — core pages indexed within the first week. Standard build, standard process.
What it does NOT include (yet)
Starter Site is the foundation. It’s the website itself — nothing more. Specifically not included unless you upgrade to Full Contractor OS:
- AI phone answering (separate $350/mo)
- Automated lead follow-up (separate $299/mo)
- Automated review requests (bundled with Lead Machine)
- AI website chatbot (Full OS only)
- Ongoing local SEO & content (Full OS only)
You can absolutely start with just the website and add automation pieces later. Many contractors do exactly that. Just know that the website on its own is leverage — the AI layers are what multiply it.
Why $2,500 specifically
This is real cost-of-quality pricing for Sonoma County. Cheaper than agencies (who charge $5k–15k for the same scope), more than a Fiverr template ($200 that gets you nothing). $2,500 covers about 20–30 hours of strategy, copywriting, design, build, and launch — done by one person who actually understands contractor SEO and doesn’t hand you off to a junior.
FAQs
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. I build on a CMS that lets you update text, photos, and add blog posts without touching code. Major changes (new service page, layout shift) you can have me do or learn yourself.
Where does it host?
Netlify or Cloudflare Pages — fast, secure, near-zero maintenance. Hosting is included for the first year. Year two onwards typically runs $10–20/mo, paid directly to the host (not a markup to me).
Can you migrate my old site?
Yes — we set up 301 redirects from your old URLs so you don’t lose any existing Google rankings. This is free and standard.
What about the domain?
You own it. Either bring an existing one or buy a fresh one (I’ll help). Costs $10–15/year directly to the registrar.
How many revisions?
Unlimited within the build window. I’d rather get it right than ship it fast. Once it’s live, post-launch tweaks are still on me for the first 30 days.
