We’ve generated thousands of leads for contractors (we’ve been in the industry for 15+ years) – we know how to get results!
Understand The Basics to Generating Contractor Leads
We generate exclusive leads for contractors by combining three main strategies:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Google AdWords
- Reputation Management
Search Engine Optimization is the best way to generate leads organically. This process helps your contracting website show up in Google Maps and also in the search results below. We make it easier for people in your local area to search and find your website when they’re looking for your contracting services.
Google AdWords are the best way to generate 100% exclusive paid leads. These campaigns use paid online ads that appear in Google search results. We target your desired audience at exactly the right time when they’re actively searching for your specific contractor services, and over time, we will track and optimize your ads campaign so that you get the best results from your budget.
Reputation Management is the process that helps you gather the most 5-star reviews from your customers. With more reviews, you’ll build trust with your future customers far easier and quicker from gathering reviews from past clients on review websites like Yelp, Angi, and other industry sites. We make it easy for your team to automatically ask happy customers for positive reviews, and you can add these testimonials to your website and social media profiles. If there are negative customers that come in, you can work with them before a negative review is left.
We use all these lead generation strategies together to attract more high-quality inbound prospects, make your business more visible, grow your brand, and increase your business’ revenue faster so you can build out your team.
