What ranking looks like in this industry

Someone searching for a kitchen renovation and someone searching a foundation repair are different buyers entirely, but most contractor sites lump every project type into one generic services page.

For most contractors & trades the work concentrates on:

  • A dedicated page per project type — 'general contractor' pages rarely rank for anything specific
  • Commercial-project terms most residential-focused competitors don't bother targeting
  • Real before-and-after project documentation, which this category's buyers weigh heavily before calling anyone
  • Local pages by municipality, since contractor search is intensely local
  • Quote requests tracked by the project type that generated them
The result: a homeowner who searched specifically for a foundation repair lands on a page built for exactly that job, not a generalist page competing against every other type of project you take on.
