Contractor SEO services, measured in calls.
ES Studios is an SEO company for home-service contractors. Plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, remodelers and the rest of the trades. We get your Google Business Profile into the map pack, build a page for every service and town you cover, and wire up the follow-up that turns a search into a booked job. The website, CRM and on-site SEO are $297 a month, printed on our pricing page. Month to month, and you own everything we build.
What contractor SEO actually involves.
Homeowners pick a contractor from the map, the reviews and the first site that answers their question. So the work covers all three, plus the part most SEO companies skip: what happens after the phone rings.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, posts and service areas set up for your trade. This is the profile that decides whether you show in the map pack, and for most contractors it is where the calls come from.
A page for every service and town
"Water heater repair in Mesa" and "drain cleaning in Tempe" are separate searches. Each one gets its own page with real detail about the job and the area, so each one can rank on its own.
Reviews on autopilot
A request goes out after every job, by text, while the customer is still happy. Reviews keep coming in every month, which is what Google and homeowners both look at.
Citations that match
Your name, address and phone the same on every directory that matters. Mismatched listings make Google unsure which business is real, and that costs you map rankings.
Missed-call text back
You are on a roof and the call goes to voicemail. The caller gets a text back in seconds, so the conversation starts before they ring the next name on the list.
Reports in calls and leads
Every month you see the calls, form fills and map positions, in plain numbers. You also keep your own login to Google Business Profile and Search Console, so you can check us any day you like.
Three contractors, with the before and after.
Each one is a full write-up with the map scans, dates and what we changed. We measure the map with a 169-point grid across the service area, scanned on the day we start and again later. These are individual results. Your market, your trade and how long you stay all change what is realistic, and we will tell you straight on the call.
24% to 98% of the map in the top 3
A general contractor in western Washington. 165 of 169 grid points now rank in the top three, up from 40. Average map position went from 10.0 to 1.3 over eight months. Read the case study.
Calls from the profile up from 2.0 to 4.75 a month
A waterproofing contractor in Southern California. Top-three spots went from 5 of 169 grid points to 26, and the business now shows at 91 points, up from 55. Read the case study.
From nowhere on the map to the top 3 at 16 points
A flooring installer in Southern California that ranked at none of 169 points on day one. Eighteen weeks later it is top three at 16 and showing at 95. Read the case study.
The three things to ask any SEO company, answered.
Contractors who got burned by an agency usually say the same three things went wrong. The phone never rang more, they could not get into their own accounts, and leaving was harder than signing up. Here is where we stand on each.
You own all of it
The website is a real WordPress site on your own domain. The Google Business Profile, the reviews and the customer list are yours. Walk away and you take every piece with you. Our ownership checklist lists what to ask any agency, us included.
Month to month
Monthly plans have no contract. Give us 30 days' notice and you are done. Annual plans are paid up front for the year, at three months free. The full terms are in the service agreement, which you can read before the call.
The price before the call
$297 a month covers the website, CRM, missed-call text back, review requests and on-site SEO. Google Business Profile management is priced by how competitive your trade and town are, and you get that number on the call before anything is signed. See the pricing page.
When to hire someone else.
We built this for owner-run shops with one or two locations. Some contractors are better served elsewhere, and we would rather say so here than on month three. We compared ten other agencies, with their prices, on our best local SEO agencies for contractors page.
You run many locations
Franchises and multi-state operators need roll-up reporting for head office. Large agencies like Scorpion are built for that, and we are a better fit for a single shop.
You need calls this week
SEO takes months to build. If the schedule is empty now, run Local Services Ads first and let SEO grow underneath them.
You want a full marketing department
Brand work, video production and TV are outside what we sell. We do search, reviews and the follow-up that books the job.
Questions contractors
ask us first.
The same answers we give on the phone.
Ours start at $297 a month for the website, CRM and on-site SEO. Google Business Profile management is quoted on the call, based on your trade and how crowded your town is. Across the market, most contractor SEO agencies do not publish a price at all. Of the eleven we compared, three did.
Most builds take around 2 weeks once we have what we need from you. Map rankings then move over months. In our case studies, the flooring installer reached the top three at 16 grid points after eighteen weeks, and the general contractor went from 24% to 98% of the map over eight months. Nobody can promise a ranking or a date, and we will not.
Yes. The site is on your domain, the Google Business Profile stays in your name, and the reviews and customer list are yours. If you leave, all of it leaves with you.
Monthly plans have no contract. You cancel with 30 days' notice. Annual plans are paid up front for the year and are non-refundable. Everything is written in the service agreement.
Home-service trades across the US. Plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, remodeling, landscaping, painting, flooring, pest control and more. If you are hiring, we have dedicated pages for HVAC SEO services, plumber SEO services and electrician SEO services. Every other trade has its own page under marketing by trade.
A monthly report in calls, leads and map position. You also keep your own access to Google Business Profile and Search Console, so you never have to take our word for it.
