Why Most Contractor Websites Only Rank in One Town
Most contractor sites have one page listing every service they offer, or worse, more than one H1 on the page. Google can’t tell what you actually do or where you do it. Add in missing schema, or schema built for the wrong kind of business, and you’re invisible for searches you should be winning.
I fix that by giving your site the structure Google actually needs: a page for each service, connected to the towns you serve, with the right LocalBusiness schema behind it.

How I Work
01
I don’t start by guessing. I start by looking at where you currently rank, how your Google Business Profile is set up (service-area business or a real storefront address, that distinction matters), and what your actual competitors in each town are doing right.
02
Then I start small. I make targeted changes, measure what happens, and only expand into new towns once the foundation is working. I’d rather prove a system in one or two towns than spread you thin across ten.
Every recommendation comes from real keyword research and a content strategy built around how your customers actually search, not a generic playbook applied to every contractor the same way.
03
Every location page starts with a detailed questionnaire: your ideal customer, what you wish people understood before hiring you, lessons you’ve learned, what makes your area and your business different.
If a client would rather I just write it without that, I do the research myself and tie the page to their specific area instead of generic language, but the page is always stronger when it comes from them. I also use their real photos, not stock images. That’s why two contractors in the same town don’t end up with the same page.
Case Study: Lowell, MA
From One Page to a Real Website
Julio A. Lopez, an electrician in Lowell, MA, came to me with 5 pages, no targeted town, one page listing every service, and no schema. This was a full website redesign, not the monthly SEO service below. Still, it shows how I build a site to rank from day one: separate residential and commercial service pages, a clear about page, and dedicated pages for Lowell and Dracut. The site has since grown to 42 pages as more service areas were added.

A Site Rebuilt to Actually Work
LJB Construction & Roofing needed a site that could keep up with their business; the old one was slow and hadn’t been maintained in years. I rebuilt it lean, fast, and structured around their actual roofing services, and I still maintain it today.

Local SEO works best alongside the right foundation and a strong online presence. Here is what else I offer if you need it
Built by Someone Who Used to Write Code, Not Just Copy
Unlike a generic marketing agency handling everything from social media to paid ads, I focus on one thing: getting contractors found on Google. I spent 17 years as a software engineer before I moved into local SEO and web design.
That background shows up in how I work: I don’t guess what’s wrong with your site. I check, the same way I’d debug a piece of software.
One thing I learned the hard way: early on, I let AI write my own content without any SEO guidance behind it, and it hurt my rankings. I don’t do that anymore, for my site or for clients. Every page gets real research and a real plan before it gets written. I’m also active in several SEO communities, including Rank Expand Academy and AI Ranking, where I keep learning alongside other practitioners as the field changes.
You work directly with me. A lot of agencies hand your site off to a writer or contractor you never talk to. I don’t work that way, you’re talking to the person actually doing the work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Local SEO for Home Service Contractors
Is SEO dead now with AI?
No, but how people search is changing, and that changes what SEO needs to cover. I wrote about this in more detail here.
How long does SEO take in Massachusetts or New Hampshire?
Most contractors see initial movement in 3 to 6 months. Full results depend on your market, competition, and where your site starts from.
Can I rank in multiple cities without a physical office in each one?
Yes, as a service-area business. It takes the right site structure and Google Business Profile setup, not a second address.
How much does local SEO cost?
Pricing varies by market and competition, but my Local SEO service starts at $797/month. That includes Google Business Profile optimization, service and location page architecture, citation cleanup, and monthly reporting. The exact scope depends on how many towns you’re targeting and what your competitors are already doing, so I set the specifics after reviewing your situation, not from a flat-rate card.
What schema markup do you actually use, and why does it matter?
I build LocalBusiness schema by hand for every site, following Google’s own structured data guidelines, not a generic plugin default. I use AI to help draft the markup faster, then validate every field against Google’s Rich Results Test and Schema Markup Validator before it goes live. After any change, I also run the page through the URL Inspection Tool in Search Console to confirm it renders correctly and matches what Google actually sees, since a fix that looks right in the editor doesn’t always mean it works the same way live. Schema is how Google understands what your business is, where you work, and how to trust your reviews and ratings; without it, you’re leaving that up to guesswork.
Do I need separate pages for every town I serve?
Not every town at once. I start with your priority towns and expand once the foundation is proven, rather than building thin pages for every possible city upfront.
Do you only work in Massachusetts and New Hampshire?
MA and NH are my primary focus because local SEO depends on understanding the competitive landscape in each market, and that’s where most of my work is concentrated. I do take on contractors outside that area too, so if you’re elsewhere, reach out and we’ll talk about whether it’s a good fit.
What’s the difference between Google Maps rankings and website rankings?
Google Maps rankings (the map with pins and the 3-pack of businesses) and website rankings (the regular blue links below them) are ranked separately, by different signals. Maps rankings lean heavily on your Google Business Profile, reviews, and proximity. Website rankings depend more on your site’s content and structure. A strong page one result often needs both working together, not just one as they will affect your overall local search presence.
