General contractor marketing

General contractor marketing that brings in the projects you want

You don't need more leads. You need the right ones. We target homeowners planning real projects and filter out the small jobs that waste your estimating time.

Where your customers find you

01

Local Services Ads

Pay-per-lead listings at the top of Google, with a Google Verified badge.

02

Google Ads

Search ads for the jobs you want most, paid per click.

03

Map pack

The three businesses Google shows on the map for a local search.

04

AI search

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity.

What's costing you projects

You spend hours bidding jobs you'll never win.

Broad ads attract small handyman requests and price shoppers. We target project-level searches and set expectations upfront so better leads come through.

Your past work isn't doing the selling.

Homeowners hire GCs on proof. We build project pages and Google profile content that show your best work where buyers are looking.

Leads come in waves, then dry up.

Referrals alone make for an unpredictable pipeline. We build steady search visibility so your schedule stays booked months ahead.

When demand shows up

Most homeowners plan projects in winter and start in spring and summer. We build visibility during planning season so you're on their list before they collect bids.

Frequently asked questions

How do I stop getting small, low-value leads?

Target project-specific searches, exclude small-job keywords, and state your project minimums clearly. Fewer leads, better fit.

Do Local Services Ads work for general contractors?

They can. LSA includes contractor and remodeling categories in many markets. We'll check eligibility and fit on your free call.

How do I use my past projects in marketing?

Project pages with photos and short write-ups, plus Google Business Profile updates, give homeowners proof and help you rank.
