The Proof

Jobson Roofing’s Engagement Rate Soared 39%

The problem. Jobson Roofing, a Greater Grand Rapids roofer handling replacements and repairs, got most of their leads from referrals and needed more local visibility to compete in a crowded market.

The assets. A strong local reputation and a website that needed to do more to get homeowners to call or fill out a form.

The strategy. Avalanche researched how homeowners search for roofers, then added and edited 12+ pieces of content around high-intent terms. We tuned on-page and technical SEO, built location landing pages for every area they serve, and added a portfolio page.

The result. A 39% jump in engagement rate and 17% more organic traffic, with 83.3% of organic conversions coming in as form submissions.

Show Up in the Local Map Pack

Your work might speak for itself, but only if people find it. When someone searches “remodeler near me,” they call the contractor who shows up first and looks the most credible. If you’re not in the Google map pack (the cluster of three businesses that shows above regular results on local queries), you’re invisible.

We build the signals Google ranks that cluster on:

  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • A steady review pipeline
  • Citations across local directories
  • Service-area pages that match how your buyers search
  • Geo-grid rank tracking across a grid of points in every market you serve, so we can push you into the top three neighborhood by neighborhood
City
Service Area
Neighborhood

Map Your Geography in Three Layers

City pages, service-area pages, and neighborhood pages each do a different job:

  • City pages anchor your presence in a market and feed the homepage, where most conversions happen.
  • Service-area pages cover the territories your crews show up in.
  • Neighborhood pages (think “bathroom remodel in city, zip”) pick up the high-intent long-tail searches that turn into booked work.

We build all three layers so they reinforce each other.

Filter for the Work That Pays

Not every lead is a good lead. We target the searches that match your highest-margin services:

  • Kitchen and bath remodels
  • Additions and whole-home renovations
  • Water, fire, and storm restoration
  • Light commercial and tenant improvements

The “ballpark quote” crowd goes somewhere else, so your estimators aren’t driving out to price $200 odd jobs.

Stack the Reputation Signals Google Ranks On

Google ranks businesses that look legit, so we build up the signals that prove yours is:

  • Reviews
  • Schema markup (the structured code that helps Google understand what your business does)
  • Project photos and progress shots

Different Projects Start With Different Searches

A homeowner with a burst pipe, a homeowner planning a remodel, and a commercial property manager all look for contractors differently. We build your SEO so you show up for all three.

Urgent

Repairs & Restoration

Homeowners with water damage or a broken system search on their phones and call the first contractor who looks legit: licensed, well reviewed, and able to come out today.

How we win them
  • A polished Google Business Profile with a steady review pipeline
  • Project galleries and before-and-afters that sell the work
  • Emergency repair pages built to get the call in one tap
Research-Heavy

Remodel & Addition Planners

Kitchens, baths, basements, and additions are planned purchases. Homeowners compare costs, portfolios, and timelines for weeks, then shortlist the contractor who answered their questions best.

How we win them
  • Ranking for high-intent terms like “kitchen remodel cost city”
  • Cost, timeline, and financing pages that answer the big questions
  • Project pages that show finished work in their neighborhood
High-value projects

Commercial & Property Managers

Property managers and facility teams vet for licensing, insurance, and response time, shortlisting the contractor that looks established before they request a bid.

How we win them
  • Ranking for high-value terms like “commercial contractor city”
  • Authority pages and case studies procurement teams vet you against
  • Tenant improvement, maintenance, and project pages that prove you’ve done this before

Get Found for the Right Projects All Year Long

Contractor demand swings with the seasons. We tune your rankings to the searches that actually happen each season, so the phone rings whether you’re framing an addition in July or drying out a flooded basement in January.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall… all you have to do is call… Avalanche, for more leads.
♪ With apologies to James Taylor

Spring: Project Season

Homeowners who planned all winter are ready to hire. Searches spike for remodels, additions, and exterior projects. We get your highest-margin pages ranking in February through April, so your install calendar books out early.

What they search
  • “general contractor near me”
  • “bathroom remodel”
  • “home addition contractor”
  • “remodeling contractor your city”

Summer: Peak Project Season

Typically the highest search volume of the year. Decks, siding, and exterior work fill the schedule, and summer storms send urgent repair searches up overnight. We own your local map pack so you’re the first call, not the third.

What they search
  • “contractors near me”
  • “deck builder”
  • “siding replacement”
  • “storm damage repair”

Fall: Finish Before Winter

Homeowners rush to wrap exterior work before the weather turns, and next year’s remodels start getting planned. We capture that demand and start ranking your interior and emergency pages before the first freeze.

What they search
  • “window replacement”
  • “basement finishing”
  • “flooring installer”
  • “handyman services your city”

Winter: Emergencies & the Quiet Funnel

Frozen pipes and ice dams drive urgent repair and restoration searches, while remodel clients quietly plan spring projects. We rank your emergency pages for the rush and keep your remodel pages working, so spring leads are already warm.

What they search
  • “water damage restoration”
  • “frozen pipe repair”
  • “emergency plumber your city”
  • “kitchen remodeler your city”

We're Here for the Projects, Not Just the Rankings

Most agencies open with tactics (SEO, ads, content) and hope revenue shows up at the end. We flip it. We start with the revenue goal you want, then reverse-engineer the customers, leads, and SEO work it takes to get there.

Every activity in your plan traces back to a number that actually matters to your business.

So, is your business actually ready to grow?

The Avalanche Contractor SEO Process

01

Audit & Research

We start with a teardown — your site’s technical health, your top competitors’ rankings, and the real search volume behind the phrases your buyers use.

What we actually do
  • Full technical site audit — crawl, index, speed
  • Competitor ranking and gap analysis
  • Keyword and demand mapping for your services
What it’s worth to your revenue

We find exactly where revenue is leaking and where the easy wins are hiding — before a dollar goes into tactics.

Audit Booked revenue →
02

Strategy & Planning

We design a plan around your revenue goal and the rhythm of your business — a roadmap mapped to the work you want more of.

What we actually do
  • Roadmap built backward from your revenue target
  • Priority order for every page and project
  • A publishing calendar tuned to your seasons
What it’s worth to your revenue

Every task in the plan is tied to a revenue number, not a vanity metric — so spend goes where it pays.

Audit Booked revenue →
03

Content & Optimization

We build the pages that earn rankings — service pages, service-area pages, and posts that answer what buyers ask before they call.

What we actually do
  • Service & service-area pages that convert
  • Buyer-intent content written by humans
  • Schema, internal links, and metadata tuned
What it’s worth to your revenue

Pages that rank turn into calls, and calls into booked jobs — the part that actually moves the number.

Audit Booked revenue →
04

Tracking & Adjustments

We watch the data and adjust. Algorithms change, competitors invest, search behavior shifts — we stay on it.

What we actually do
  • Call and lead tracking on every channel
  • Monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue
  • Continuous tuning as the market moves
What it’s worth to your revenue

We double down on what’s booking work and cut what isn’t — compounding your return month over month.

Our Custom Contractor SEO Services

Local SEO & GBP

We manage your Google Business Profile for optimal map pack visibility and put you in front of the cities, neighborhoods, and zip codes you serve, bringing in calls from people who can actually hire you, not price shoppers three counties over.

What we do
  • ✓ Hands-on Google Business Profile management tuned for map pack visibility
  • ✓ Review generation strategy plus response monitoring
  • ✓ Local citation building and NAP consistency cleanup across directories
  • ✓ Geo-grid rank tracking across every market you serve
  • ✓ Map-pack-focused service and neighborhood pages
What you get
  • Top-3 placement on high-intent “near me” searches
  • More calls from buyers within driving distance
Why it matters
  • → The map pack is where ready-to-hire buyers look first, so owning it books more jobs
  • → Nearby leads close faster and cost less to win than anyone outside your area

Add & Edit Pages

We add the pages you’re missing so you show up for more of what buyers search, and we rebuild the ones you have until each is the best result on the internet for the person it’s meant for: design, UX, and copy, soup to nuts.

What we do
  • ✓ Find and build the missing pages that win you more visibility
  • ✓ Rework existing pages to outdo every competing result for the target search
  • ✓ Design and UX built around what the searcher actually wants to do next
  • ✓ Copy that reads like a pro wrote it and answers the buyer’s real questions
  • ✓ Built, written, and optimized end to end, nothing handed back half-done
What you get
  • Pages that win the click and convert the visit
  • A site that keeps getting better, page by page
Why it matters
  • → More ranking pages means more entry points pulling in new leads every month
  • → Pages built to convert turn the same traffic into more booked estimates

Content Writing

Pages and blog posts written by humans who can describe a kitchen remodel without sounding like a brochure, built around what your buyers search and read before they pick you.

What we do
  • ✓ Buyer-intent keyword research mapped to your highest-margin services
  • ✓ Service pages that sell remodels, additions, restoration, and commercial work
  • ✓ Blog posts that answer the questions buyers ask before they call
  • ✓ A seasonal content calendar aligned to your demand cycles
  • ✓ Project photos integrated, edited, and SEO-structured
What you get
  • Pages that rank and read like a pro wrote them
  • Authority that compounds month over month
Why it matters
  • → Ranking content brings in leads around the clock with no ongoing ad spend
  • → Answering buyer questions builds the trust that shortens the path to a sale

Technical SEO

The under-the-hood work Google grades you on, and the part most contractor sites quietly fail.

What we do
  • ✓ A full technical audit: crawl, index coverage, and Core Web Vitals
  • ✓ Site speed and mobile usability fixes
  • ✓ Schema markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Review)
  • ✓ Internal linking and a clean, crawlable site architecture
  • ✓ Indexation, redirects, and crawl-budget cleanup
What you get
  • A site search engines can read and rank
  • Faster pages that convert more of your traffic
Why it matters
  • → If Google can't crawl your site it can't rank you, so you can't be found by leads
  • → Faster pages keep buyers from bouncing, so more visitors become paying customers

On-Page SEO

The on-page signals that tell Google exactly what each page is about, and convince the searcher you’re the right call.

What we do
  • ✓ Title tags, meta descriptions, and headers optimized per page
  • ✓ One clear target keyword and intent for every page
  • ✓ Content structure and headings built for how buyers scan
  • ✓ Descriptive image alt text, file names, and compression
  • ✓ Internal links and anchor text that pass authority where it counts
What you get
  • Pages that rank for the terms you actually want
  • Higher click-through from the search results
Why it matters
  • → Ranking for the terms buyers actually type puts you in front of real demand
  • → Higher click-through means more of that demand lands on you, not a competitor

Reporting & Planning

A monthly summary of what we did, what happened, and what’s next, tied to leads and revenue, not vanity metrics.

What we do
  • ✓ A monthly report built around leads and revenue, not just rankings
  • ✓ Call and form tracking so you see real lead volume
  • ✓ Keyword and map-pack ranking movement, market by market
  • ✓ Quarterly strategy deep-dives and roadmap updates

The Fit

Why Contractors Choose Us

Most of our home-services clients stay three years or more. Here is what keeps them around.

The Avalanche Creative team

Contractors are our specialty: general contractors, remodelers, plumbers, electricians, restoration companies, and flooring installers. If you build it, we help people find it. We have a tried-and-true playbook for what gets you more of the right business.

Our reporting starts with one question: did this drive revenue? Then it works backward to the keywords, pages, and traffic that got you there.

SEO compounds, so we build to be your July and January machine, plus the shoulder months in between. The longer we run it, the harder you are to catch.

You’ll always see what we’re doing and why. If our reasoning doesn’t add up to you, that’s our problem to fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Contractors Ask Before They Sign

Word of mouth is the most efficient lead source on Earth, and it caps your growth at the edge of your customers’ social circles. SEO keeps going past it. Most of our home service clients keep their referral pipeline humming and use SEO to layer on bigger projects, commercial work, and the homeowners who call the contractor that shows up on Google first.

More leads at the same conversion rate just adds headaches. Filtering for higher-ticket work changes the math. We use SEO to bring in the remodels, additions, and commercial jobs that raise your average ticket without adding crews. If you’re capacity-bound, that’s the leverage.

Both, though the playbooks look different. Residential SEO ranks for high-volume search terms, especially on mobile. Commercial SEO ranks for lower-volume, higher-intent terms like “commercial contractor your city,” “tenant improvement contractor,” and “commercial remodeling,” and it builds the authority pages procurement teams vet you against. We do both, and we’ll prioritize whichever channel you want more of.

LSAs and PPC work like rent. You pay for every click and call, and the leads stop the moment the budget does. SEO works like ownership. The pages keep ranking, the reviews keep stacking, and the authority compounds. Most of our home service clients run paid traffic and SEO together: paid fills the calendar this month, SEO fills it five years from now.

A lot of “SEO” five years ago was keyword-stuffed blog posts published to a slow website. That didn’t work then, and it works even less now. Today the job is technical, local, and content-driven all at once. Google’s local algorithm has gotten sharper. AI-generated content is everywhere, so original writing from people who understand the business carries more weight. Reviews matter more than ever. If you got burned before, ask the agency you’re talking to today how they’d handle what went wrong then.

6 Things to Demand From Any Agency

Revenue-tied reporting. Numbers that map to leads and booked jobs, not just rankings.

Proof from real home service businesses. Case studies in your industry, not a wall of generic logos.

Industry specialization. A team that knows home services, not a one-size-fits-all playbook.

Transparent pricing & scope. You always know what you pay for and what it produces.

A strategy they can explain. In plain English, with the reasoning shown, not a black box.

A client you can call. A real business owner who's worked with them and will pick up the phone.

The Investment

Your Business. Your Goals. Your Plan.

These tiers are starting points. Every Avalanche engagement starts with a Strategy Plan: a discovery process where we map your situation to the level of investment that gets you to your goal without overbuying.
