Search just changed. Most businesses haven’t noticed.
Three years ago, ranking on Google was the entire game. It isn’t anymore.
Nobody types “contractor near me” anymore.
They ask their phone full sentences. “Who’s the best roofing contractor in Lafayette after a hurricane?” “Which Houma builder does custom homes under 30 days?” “Which Thibodaux remodeling company actually shows up?” These conversational queries go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — and if your business hasn’t been built to show up in those answers, you’re invisible at the exact moment a homeowner decides who to call.
The Google map pack is the new front page.
Around eighty percent of the clicks for “contractor near me” go to the three businesses in the Google map. If your Google Business Profile isn’t optimized — categories, services, photos geotagged to your actual city, review velocity, posts, Q&A — your beautiful website might as well not exist. We’ve watched contractors with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.
Your website’s code is doing more harm than your content.
Most contractor websites are missing the technical foundation search engines and AI tools need to understand them: structured schema markup (telling Google you’re a HomeAndConstructionBusiness — roofer, builder, plumber, electrician — not a generic business), clean meta descriptions that show up in search snippets, alt text on every image, semantic heading structure, and WCAG-compliant accessibility. You don’t need to know how any of this works — but if your developer didn’t build it in, your business gets skipped over by the algorithm and exposed to ADA lawsuits at the same time.

Eight things most contractors hire eight different people to do.
We do all of it under one roof, market-exclusive — meaning we only work with one business per category per city.
01AI search optimization
The new front page of the internet is a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer — not a Google results page. We engineer your business to be the name AI tools cite when a homeowner asks “best roofing contractor in Lafayette” or “who builds custom homes in South Louisiana.” That means structured data the LLMs can parse, authoritative content on every service you offer (roofing, framing, remodels, additions, custom builds, storm repair), real third-party citations across construction and general directories, and ongoing monitoring of how you appear across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews. If you’re not the business being mentioned, you’re invisible at the moment the homeowner decides who to call.
02Google Business Profile & map pack
Around eighty percent of clicks on “contractor near me” go to the three businesses in the Google map — not the ten organic results below. We rebuild your Google Business Profile from the inside out: correct primary and secondary categories (Roofing Contractor, General Contractor, Home Builder, Remodeling Contractor), every service listed with real descriptions, photos geotagged to actual job sites in your area, weekly posts, Q&A populated with real homeowner questions, and a review velocity that signals to Google you’re an active, trusted business. We’ve watched contractors with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.
03Local SEO & citations
The signals that move local ranking aren’t on your website — they’re spread across the open web. We run Yext-backed citation cleanup across 70+ construction and general directories so your business name, address, and phone match everywhere, build the internal linking structure search engines need to crawl your service pages, and create dedicated content hubs for every type of work you do (roofing, framing, remodels, additions, custom builds, storm repair). The result is that Google starts to see your business as the authority on each service in each city you serve, not a generic “contractor” listing.
04Google Ads & lead capture
Most construction Google Ads campaigns burn money on click volume that never becomes a job. We build conversion-tracked campaigns around average job value — high-intent keywords like “roof replacement Lafayette” or “custom home builder Houma,” tightly geo-targeted, with negative keyword lists that filter out price shoppers, DIYers, and tire kickers. Every form, phone call, and chat is tied back to the campaign and ad group that produced it, so we can show you cost-per-booked-job, not just cost-per-click. When something stops working we kill it; when something is winning we scale it.
05Review automation
Reviews are the single biggest local ranking factor outside of Google Business Profile setup, and they’re the thing your office team will not consistently do. We install a multi-step SMS and email review request sequence that fires automatically when a job closes out — nudging the homeowner at the right intervals, routing happy clients to Google and unhappy ones to a private feedback form first. We also draft and post your responses to every review so neither praise nor criticism sits unanswered. The compounding effect is what eventually pushes you into the map pack and keeps you there.
06Website design & updates
Most contractor websites were built once, three to five years ago, and have not been touched since. We build (or rebuild) yours on WordPress hosted at Kinsta — fast, secure, and easy for us to maintain — with dedicated service pages, real project galleries, location pages for every city you serve, and quote request forms that actually capture useful project detail. Then we keep it current: new blog posts, page refreshes when service mix shifts, schema updates when Google changes its rules, and quarterly audits to catch anything broken. Your website should be working harder every month, not quietly decaying.
07Technical SEO & ADA accessibility
The unglamorous backbone most agencies ignore. We implement contractor-specific schema markup (HomeAndConstructionBusiness, RoofingContractor, GeneralContractor), optimize meta titles and descriptions for every page, write descriptive alt text, fix heading structure, audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and publish an accessibility statement. Together that’s what makes Google understand your business — and what keeps you out of an ADA lawsuit.
08Content & social that positions you as the expert
Two posts a week across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn — written in your voice, with real before-and-after job photos, designed to position you as the trusted local builder. We also monitor mentions and reviews so a bad day on the internet doesn’t become a reputation problem. Plus blog content written to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity when homeowners ask AI tools home-improvement questions.
