People do not browse for a contractor. They search, look at three or four names, and call. Home services SEO puts your company among those names for the jobs you want, in the towns you serve.

Market facts

Why local search matters so much for home services

The Census Bureau counts about 148.3 million housing units in the US and an owner-occupied rate of 65.2%, with a median home value of $332,700. Owners protect that value with repairs and upgrades, and most of them start by searching on their phone. With broadband in 91.0% of households, the first contact with a contractor is almost always a search result.

Google also runs Local Services Ads with a Google Verified badge for many home trades, including plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, pest control, tree services, painters and house cleaning. Ads, map listings and organic results now share the same screen, so a home service company needs a plan that covers all three.

Trades

SEO plans by trade

Each trade searches differently, so each one gets its own playbook:

Many companies sit in both columns. A plumber fixes leaks today and sells a repipe next month, so the plan covers both kinds of searches.

Process

How home services SEO works with us

  1. Look at the market first. We check who ranks for your trade in your towns and what their profiles and pages do well.
  2. Fix the Business Profile. Categories, services, hours, photos and review flow, set up for your trade. See Google Business Profile optimization.
  3. Build the site around jobs. One strong page per money service, then town pages with real local detail.
  4. Clean up citations so your name, address and phone match everywhere.
  5. Earn local links from suppliers, sponsorships and local news.
  6. Track calls by service and by town every month.

It is the same work behind our local SEO services, shaped to home trades.

FAQ

Questions we hear

What counts as a home service business?

Any company that does its work at the customer's home: plumbers, HVAC contractors, electricians, roofers, pest control, landscapers, remodelers, movers, cleaners and similar trades. They all depend on people nearby finding them fast.

Is SEO different for each home service trade?

The basics are the same, but the details are not. Categories, seasons, typical job values and how urgent the searches are change a lot from plumbing to landscaping, so the plan has to fit the trade.

Do you work with more than one company in the same trade?

Not in the same area. We take one client per trade per area, so we are never ranking your direct competitor.

Which comes first, the website or the Business Profile?

Usually the Business Profile, because it drives map pack calls quickly. The website then supports it with service and town pages that give Google more reasons to show you.
