Trade contractor SEO services built into the site, not sold as a separate add-on

Who is trade contractor SEO services for?

Trade businesses that want search handled as part of the site rather than bought as a separate retainer: the page structure, schema, articles and ongoing updates that search rewards.

02 Detail


Why page architecture is the real SEO work

A search engine ranks a page for what that specific page is about. A site with one "services" page and one "areas we serve" page has almost nothing to rank with, no matter how much content marketing runs alongside it. The core of our SEO work is the page architecture itself: a page for each service crossed with a page for each town you serve, so the site has real pages to compete for real searches.

03 Detail


What is included on every plan

SEO is not a separate line item here. It is the page structure, the researched articles, the schema markup and the weekly updates that come with every plan, working together rather than sold piecemeal.

  • Service and service area page architecture

  • Researched articles published on a weekly schedule

  • Schema markup matched to each page type

  • Weekly detail updates that keep pages current

04 Detail


What we do not do

We do not promise a specific ranking position or a specific traffic number, because no honest SEO provider can guarantee a search engine's output. What we do guarantee is that your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch, or we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does.

    Competitors with worse reviews show up above you locally.

  4. 04

    Nobody is publishing anything on your site.

06 Methods


Methods and tools we use

  • One primary topic per page
  • Answer-first paragraphs and FAQ blocks (AEO)
  • llms.txt and consistent entity data (GEO)
  • JSON-LD schema for business, services, FAQs and breadcrumbs

08 Client notes


What owners say about trade contractor SEO services

  • The starting point was our own sent mail, not a template, and it shows. They identified which questions belonged on the site and we checked every answer before launch. Pointing people to the page has replaced hunting through old emails.

    What they got FAQ research and editorial review for trade service requests

  • We knew the trade service requests document was a problem; we had just never prioritized fixing it. Staff now link to the precise section instead of wishing callers luck with a long document. Nothing was taken away from the people who like paper.

14 Guarantees


What happens if it does not work out?

You are covered where it matters: you never pay for a build you have not approved, and the two things we promise, speed and ranking, come with a fix rather than an excuse.

  • Build fee only after you approve

    The $697 build fee is invoiced once your site is live and you are satisfied with it. Never before.

  • 90+ PageSpeed, or we fix it free

    On mobile and desktop, for the pages we build and host. If our work drops a page below it, we fix it at no charge.

  • Ranking within 3 to 5 months

    If the site is not ranking for local searches in your area by then, we keep doing the search work at no extra charge until it is.

  • No yearly contract

    Cancel by email at least 2 business days before your next invoice. The site runs to the end of the month you paid for.

  • Your domain stays yours

    Registered in your name. If you leave, we transfer it at no charge and export your content within 14 days.

The conditions, plainly: the guarantees do not cover changes made by you or third parties, content published against our advice, or ranking outside your area and services. The remedy is the corrective work, not a refund: all sales are final except a duplicate or incorrect charge reported within 30 days. Full wording in the terms and refund policy.

Questions about trade contractor SEO services

Do you guarantee a specific ranking position?

No. We guarantee that your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch, and continue the search work at no extra charge until it does, rather than promising a specific position no provider can control.

Is SEO an extra monthly cost?

No. Page architecture, researched articles, schema markup and weekly updates are all part of your plan, not billed separately.

How many articles get published each week?

2 a week on the base and mid plans, 3 a week with the Content Engine on the top plan, each 2,500 to 3,200 words.

Do you do SEO for towns we do not currently serve?

We build pages for the towns and service areas you name during onboarding. Adding a new town later is a normal revision.

How long does contractor SEO take to work?

Most of the work is visible within the 3 to 5 months window we guarantee for local ranking. Speed and structure count from launch day; articles build over months.

Do you manage my Google Business Profile?

On Site General, yes: posts, hours, service list and photos kept current. On the other plans the website work is done for you and the profile stays with you.

Will you get me into ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

No one can promise that. We make the site easy for AI assistants to read and cite, which makes it more likely.

Do I need a separate SEO company?

Not for the site itself. The page structure, schema, articles and updates are part of every plan. Link building and ads are outside our scope.
