If you want people to land on—and stay on—your contractor website, it needs to be five things:

  • Your website needs to be visible – When we say visible, we mean in search engines like Google. Learn more about SEO below!
  • Your website needs to be mobile-friendlyGoogle ranks mobile websites higher in the search engine results, and consumers expect a mobile-friendly website.
  • Your website needs to be secure – Most consumers won’t browse a non-HTTPS website. Google also gives preference to secured websites in the search results.
  • Your website needs to be fast – Google’s recommended page speed is under two seconds. Even a one-second delay can cause a 7% reduction in conversions.

Contractor SEO & Content Marketing

IMPROVE Organic SEARCH RANKINGS with SEO for contractors

Each month, there are more than one million online searches for contractors. If you want your company to be the one that gets hired, your website needs to rank at the top of the search results pages.

image of searches for general contractor marketing terms

To rank well organically, you must establish and promote yourself as the authority for what you do, in the markets you do it. Ranking well on Google, Bing, and Yahoo requires three things:

1. First, your website must be coded in a way that makes it easy for the search engines’ software to find, crawl, and index your website. At Blue Corona, our webmasters specialize in coding websites and landing pages that are not only visually appealing but also are highly optimized for search engines—allowing your contracting company to get more traffic, leads, and sales from the internet.

2. Second, create a data-driven content strategy with unique, relevant, high-quality content your customers crave. Google ranks web pages individually, not websites as a whole. Our content marketing team has extensive experience writing online content (including blogs, landing pages, press releases, e-mail newsletters, E-books, and more) specifically for contractors—so you won’t have to write a thing.

3. Third, promote your site to other relevant and authoritative websites and get them to link to, reference, and cite you as an authority. Unlike other SEO companies, you’ll never have to worry about us building spammy links that will get you penalized by Google!

LOCAL SEARCH OPTIMIZATION

Did you know that nearly half of the total Google search queries have local intent? In addition to improving your organic search engine listings with contractor SEO services, if you’re a contractor, it’s also vital that you optimize for Google’s local listings. These three local listings often appear before the organic listings in Google’s map listings, leading to better click-through-rates for your company from potential customers.

As an award-winning SEO company, we understand that the more listings you have on the first page of search results—including local listings, organic listings, and paid listings—the better. Our local SEO services will increase your visibility for geographically related searches.

Pay Per Click Advertising for Contractors (PPC)

When you hire Blue Corona for PPC management, we handle it all—from keyword discovery to bid management, from ad copy creation to ad split testing; from pay per click call tracking to landing page optimization; we take care of everything and report the results to you monthly.

Investing in PPC, content marketing, and SEO, as well as local SEO, is the most effective way to get more leads and sales from the web as well as maximize your contracting company’s online real estate. When you have a paid listing, local listing, and organic listing for a given search query, you greatly reduce the chance of someone clicking on one of your competitor’s links!
