The Proof

How We Engineered the Right Strategy for Fleis & VandenBrink

The problem. Fleis & VandenBrink, a civil engineering and architecture firm covering infrastructure, planning, design, and construction, ran three outdated websites. Nearly all of their leads came from word of mouth, not search.

The assets. Deep industry expertise, an in-house team already writing content, and a company culture worth promoting to clients and recruits.

The strategy. Avalanche rebuilt all three sites with custom post types for projects, services, and locations, so their team can publish without a developer. We added and edited 50+ pages, then took over the writing once lead volume left them too busy to keep up.

The result. A 44% year-over-year jump in organic conversions and 63% more organic traffic over the same stretch. All from organic search.

Show Up in the Local Map Pack

Construction buyers search locally and carefully. They want a builder within driving distance they can trust with a six-figure project. 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 “kitchen remodel in neighborhood, 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:

  • Custom home builds
  • Design-build projects
  • Whole-home remodels and additions
  • Commercial and tenant build-outs

The “handyman near me” crowd goes somewhere else, so your estimators aren’t driving out to quote $500 repairs.

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
  • Structured testimonials

Customer Needs Change, and So Do Their Searches

A homeowner planning a remodel, a family building a custom home, and a commercial developer all look for contractors differently. We build your SEO so you show up for all three.

Research-Heavy

Remodel Homeowners

Homeowners planning a remodel or addition research for weeks: project photos, reviews, and cost questions, long before they request an estimate.

How we win them
  • A polished Google Business Profile with a steady review pipeline
  • Project galleries and before-and-afters that sell the work
  • Cost and process guides that answer questions before the first call
High-Trust

Custom Home Buyers

Families building a custom home are making the biggest purchase of their lives. They vet builders on portfolio, process, and who they know that has built with you.

How we win them
  • Ranking for high-intent terms like “custom home builder near me”
  • Portfolio and floor-plan pages that show the finished product
  • Process pages that explain timelines, budgets, and what to expect
High-value projects

Commercial & Developers

Developers, facility managers, and owners’ reps vet for capacity, safety record, and relevant project experience, shortlisting the GC that looks established before they invite a bid.

How we win them
  • Ranking for high-value terms like “commercial general contractor city”
  • Authority pages and case studies procurement teams vet you against
  • Project-type pages that prove you’ve built this before
The Work

Your Revenue Goal Shapes the Strategy

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 Construction 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 bid cycles
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 Construction 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 tire-kickers two states 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 your service area
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 design-build process 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 custom homes, design-build, remodels, 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
  • ✓ Install photos and tech bios 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 contractors' 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 (HVACBusiness, 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
  • ✓ A direct line to your strategist between reports
What you get
  • Always know what you’re paying for and what it produces
  • A report short enough to read between job sites
Why it matters
  • → Tying work to leads and revenue keeps your budget aimed at what makes money
  • → Clear results show exactly when to invest more and grow faster

The Fit

Why Contractor Companies Stay With Us

Most of our construction clients renew with us, year after year. Here is what keeps them around.

The Avalanche Creative team

General contractors, custom home builders, design-build firms, and remodelers are our specialty, along with roofers and the trades that keep projects moving. 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 it to keep your pipeline full through every bid cycle, year after year. 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 construction clients keep their referral pipeline humming and use SEO to layer on the bigger custom builds, the commercial projects with real budgets, and the owners who hire 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 custom builds, design-build, and commercial projects that raise your average contract value 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 general contractor your city,” “design-build firm,” and “tenant improvement contractor,” 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 construction 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 construction businesses. Case studies in your industry, not a wall of generic logos.

Industry specialization. A team that knows and understands contractor needs, 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.
