How contractors actually get found
General contracting enquiries arrive after a long, cautious research period. The money involved is substantial, the horror stories are well known, and the first thing a serious prospect checks is whether you are licensed, bonded and insured. Search brings them in, but credibility signals decide whether they fill in the form. Referral traffic also runs through search, because people look you up before they call.
- 01
Licence numbers, bonding and insurance need to be visible, not buried in a footer
- 02
Project-type pages outperform a single services page by a wide margin
- 03
Branded searches matter: referrals check you online before they ever ring

Contracting SEO questions we get asked
- Most of our work is referral. Why would we need SEO?
- Because referrals search for you before calling. If what they find is thin or outdated, some of them quietly do not call. Strengthening what appears for your own name protects work you have already earned, before it brings in anything new.
- Should we chase commercial or residential?
- They are different audiences with different search behaviour and should not share pages. We usually recommend picking the one with better margins for you and building that out first, rather than splitting effort and ranking for neither.
