Keentel Engineering, a US electrical engineering consultancy serving utilities and developers, had no rankings in March 2025. We rebuilt the site, fixed the technical foundation and published expert service content. The same playbook now powers our contractor and architecture clients.

Where clients find
contractors now.

Homeowners, developers and property managers rarely pick up the phone first. They search, compare and ask AI. We make sure you show up at every step.

Local

Google Maps & local pack

The top three map results take most local calls. We optimise your Google Business Profile, reviews, photos and service areas to get you there.

Organic

Google search results

Service and city pages that rank for the jobs you actually want, from “commercial buildout Tampa” to “custom home builder Austin”.

AI search

ChatGPT & AI Overviews

AI tools now answer “best general contractor near me”. Clear entity data, schema and trusted mentions get your firm named in those answers.

Reputation

Reviews & directories

Consistent listings on Houzz, BBB, Angi and industry directories, plus a simple system to earn more five-star reviews.

Proof

Project pages

Each finished project becomes a page with photos, scope and location, which ranks for local searches and wins trust.

Conversion

Your website

Fast pages with clear quote forms and click-to-call, so traffic turns into booked estimates. Need a new site? See our contractor website design.

Stop paying for
shared leads.

Lead platforms sell the same homeowner to three or four contractors. SEO builds a pipeline of enquiries that come only to you, and keeps working every month.

Why most contractors don’t rank

Great work, invisible online. The same gaps show up in almost every audit.

  • Incomplete Google Business Profile and few recent reviews
  • One “Services” page instead of a page per service
  • No pages for the cities and towns you work in
  • Finished projects never published online
  • No schema, so AI tools can’t tell what you do or where

What we fix first

A local foundation, pages that match real searches and signals AI tools trust.

  • Fully optimised Google Business Profile and review plan
  • A dedicated page for every service you want more of
  • Service-area pages written for each city, not copied
  • Project pages with photos, scope and location
  • LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ schema across the site

SEO for contractors,
explained.

Straight answers for owners deciding whether SEO is worth it.

What is contractor SEO?

Contractor SEO is the work of getting your business to show up when people search for your services: in the Google Maps pack, in regular search results and now in AI answers from ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. It combines local SEO, service pages, technical fixes, reviews and authority building.

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO makes your firm easy for AI tools to understand and recommend. That means clear entity data, schema markup, answer-first content and trusted mentions on sites like Houzz, BBB and local news. It builds on normal SEO, so we run both together.

How long does contractor SEO take?

Google Business Profile and local fixes often show movement in 4 to 8 weeks. Service and city pages usually rank within 2 to 4 months. Site Plans FL received its first enquiries within 15 days of launch.

Is SEO worth it for architects?

Yes, especially for residential and niche commercial work. Clients research architects for months, so ranking for project-type searches and appearing in AI answers keeps you on their shortlist. Read our full SEO for contractors guide.

Questions,
answered.

How much does SEO for contractors cost?

It depends on how many services and cities you want to rank for and how competitive your market is. We start with a free audit, then send a clear monthly scope and price before any work begins.

How long until I get leads from SEO?

Google Business Profile and local fixes often show movement in 4 to 8 weeks, and service and city pages usually rank within 2 to 4 months. Some clients, like Site Plans FL, see first enquiries within weeks of launch.

What is the difference between SEO and AI SEO?

SEO gets you ranked in Google Maps and search results. AI SEO gets your firm named in answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity. They share the same foundations, so we run them as one plan.

Can you get my firm recommended by ChatGPT?

No one can guarantee what an AI tool will say, but we build the signals they rely on: consistent business data, schema, answer-first pages, reviews and mentions on trusted sites. One of our clients earned 8,119 AI citations in Bing Copilot.

Do you work with architects as well as contractors?

Yes. We work with general contractors, architecture firms, home builders, remodelers, specialty trades such as roofing and electrical, and site plan and drafting companies.

Do I need a new website for SEO?

Not always. Many sites only need technical fixes and new service pages. If your platform holds you back, we can rebuild it without losing rankings. See our contractor website design service.

Can you help if I serve many cities?

Yes. We build unique service-area pages for each city or county you want to win, as we did for Site Plans FL across all 67 Florida counties, without thin or duplicate content.

How do you report results?

Every month you get map and search rankings, AI mentions, organic traffic, and the calls and quote requests that came from search, plus a call to walk through it.
