What the specialists do for a contractor each month
Contractor leads come from people with a problem today: a leaking roof, a dead furnace, a kitchen they are tired of. The work is built around being found at that moment and answering fast.
- A paid search specialist builds Google Ads around urgent and high-value jobs, sets call extensions and ad schedules for the hours someone picks up, and adds negative keywords so you stop paying for job seekers, DIY searches and suppliers.
- A local SEO specialist keeps your Business Profile accurate, builds one real page per service and per service area, and fixes listings that disagree about your name, phone or address.
- An email specialist sets up a review request that goes out after each finished job and a short note to past customers for seasonal work, using your own customer list.
- An analytics specialist sets up call and form tracking so the monthly report shows booked jobs by source, not only clicks.
Where contractor budgets usually leak
The common leaks are broad match keywords that pull in repair-it-yourself searches, ads running at 2 a.m. with nobody answering, and one generic services page trying to rank for every trade and every town. Each one is cheap to fix and shows up in the first month.

A contractor with several trades or crews in different cities usually needs Growth hours, because each service line has its own keywords and pages.
Which plan fits a contractor
Starter at $990 a month (10 hours, one lead specialist, one to two channels) suits a single trade in one service area, focused on Google Ads and the Business Profile. Growth at $2,290 a month (25 hours, up to four channels, 2 to 3 specialists, weekly hour report) fits companies with several trades, more than one city or a push into home show style campaigns and social. Team at $4,990 a month suits multi-location groups that need every channel and a live dashboard. Annual billing saves 15 percent. Ad spend goes straight to Google on your own card and is separate from the plan. See pricing.
How it starts
Send a brief on the estimate page with your trade, service area, average job value and current ad spend. The proposal names the channels, roles and the first tasks. If you want to compare against a flat retainer, read what a marketing agency retainer costs first.
1. Answer three questions
Pick the channels you need, your main goal and your monthly ad budget. It takes under a minute and needs no account.
2. See your estimate
The estimate shows the recommended plan, total hours, monthly price and the mix of specialists. It is built from typical hours per channel, adjusted for your goal and budget, plus time for coordination.
3. Send the brief
Create an account, confirm your email with a 6-digit code and add your company, website, timeline and anything we should know. You can edit the brief until the proposal arrives.
4. Read your written proposal
Within 2 business days you get the plan, the hours per channel, the specialist roles and a first-month task list by email. Questions go back and forth in writing, and replies arrive within one business day.
5. Start in week one
After you accept, we request access to your accounts, check tracking, agree the first priorities and start the work.
What you keep
Your Google Ads account, Business Profile, website, call tracking and customer list belong to you. Specialists are added as managers at the access level you choose, without shared passwords, and are removed when the plan ends. Every campaign, page and review stays in place.
Contractor marketing questions
01
How much does a marketing agency for contractors cost?
Agencies that specialize in contractors often start around $1,500 a month plus ad spend, with 12-month agreements. Here Starter is $990 a month for 10 specialist hours, billed month to month. Ad spend is paid to Google separately and depends on your trade and area.
02
Do you guarantee leads or rankings?
No. Nobody can honestly promise rankings or a lead count. We commit hours of specialist work, a written monthly report and clean tracking so you can see what each dollar produced.
03
Can you work with the leads we already buy from lead marketplaces?
Yes. The analytics specialist can compare cost per booked job from those leads against your own Google Ads and Business Profile calls, so you can shift budget to what closes.
04
Do we sign a long contract?
No. Plans run month to month and you can change hours each billing cycle. See pay as you go marketing.
05
Is this only for large contractors?
No. A one-truck business can use Starter. The estimate shows hours and price before you commit to anything. For other service firms see marketing for local business.
