Marketing for contractors

Most contractor marketing comes down to two things: getting found when someone needs you, and answering fast when they call. These guides cover both.

On the getting-found side, we look at Google Local Services Ads and how they charge, the Google Verified badge that replaced Google Guaranteed, getting more Google reviews within Google’s rules, and lead sources like Angi and Thumbtack. Every rule and price is checked on the company’s own pages and dated, because these change often.

On the answering side, we cover how quickly you need to respond to a new lead and what happens to the ones you miss. What a missed call costs puts numbers on it, and missed call text back for contractors covers the simplest fix.
