Local SEO for Contractors
Local SEO That Helps Contractors Get Found When Customers Are Searching
Stop losing jobs to competitors who show up first in local search. At Bold Peak LLC, I provide local SEO services for service contractors, including roofers, HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, and other service providers.
I help you rank higher in local search so customers find YOU when they need your services.
Who This Service Best For
Best for:
- Service contractors serving multiple towns or cities
- Businesses that rely on phone calls and form submissions, not foot traffic
- Contractors who want long-term visibility and brand building
- Companies ready to invest in 6-12 month SEO strategy
- Businesses with an existing website that needs optimization
Not ideal for:
- Single-location retail stores or restaurants
- Businesses needing instant leads (see our lead generation service instead)
- DIY website builders not ready for professional optimization
- Companies expecting overnight results
- Businesses unwilling to commit to 3+ months
How Local Service Contractors Get Found Online
The reality: When someone’s roof leaks, furnace breaks, or toilet won’t stop running, they’re searching on their phone RIGHT NOW.
They’re typing:
- “Emergency plumber near me”
- “Roofer [your city]”
- “HVAC repair near me”
- “Best electrician [your town]”
If you’re not showing up in the top 3-5 results, you’re invisible.
And your competitors are getting those calls instead.

What Results Can You Realistically Expect?
I won’t promise you’ll rank #1 in 30 days or get 100 calls next month. That’s not how SEO works, and anyone who promises that is lying. Here is what realistic SEO growth looks like:
Months 1-2: Foundation & Setup
- Technical issues fixed
- Google Business Profile fully optimized
- First 10-20 citations built
- Site speed improved
- First ranking improvements on long-tail keywords
You might see: 10-20% more visibility, a few extra calls
Months 3-4: Early Movement
- Ranking for 15-30 local keywords
- Starting to appear in Google Maps results
- More citations building authority
- Better click-through rates from optimized content
You might see: 20-40% more organic visibility, steady increase in calls
Months 5-6: Momentum
- Ranking on page 1 for several target keywords
- Appearing in local 3-pack for some searches
- More reviews and citations compounding
- Noticeable increase in organic calls
You might see: 50-80% increase in organic traffic and calls
Months 7-12: Growth
- Top rankings for many local keywords
- Consistent local 3-pack appearances
- Strong organic lead flow
- Less dependence on paid ads
You might see: Significant increase in organic calls compared to baseline (many contractors see 2-3x improvement)
Important notes:
- Results vary by competition, location, and starting point
- A plumber in a small town will see faster results than HVAC in a major city
- This is a long-term investment, not a quick fix
- SEO compounds over time, the longer you do it, the better results get
Why Contractors Choose Bold Peak for Local SEO & Lead Generation
Technical Expertise (17+ Years in Tech)
I spent 17 years in quality assurance and software automation delivery at SaaS companies. Your website will be:
- Fast and properly optimized
- Technically sound (no broken code)
- Properly structured for search engines
- Secure and reliable
I fix technical issues most SEOs don’t even see.
Specialized for Contractors
I understand what contractors need:
- 40-50+ service location pages to rank in multiple cities
- Google Business Profile optimization for service areas
- Local SEO that works in competitive markets
- Keywords that actually bring calls (not just traffic)
Most web developers build 5-page sites that never rank locally. I build sites that dominate local search.
Direct Communication

- No account managers
- No support tickets
- Direct email and phone access
- I answer questions myself
- I do the work myself
Transparent & Honest
I won’t:
- Promise rankings I can’t guarantee
- Lock you into long contracts
- Charge you for work I’m not doing
- Use black-hat tactics that get you penalized
- Sell you services you don’t need
I will:
- Tell you realistic timelines
- Show you exactly what I’m doing

Frequently Asked Questions
Realistic Time
- Months 1-3: Technical foundation, initial optimization, pages indexed
- Months 4-6: Starting to rank (page 2-3 for target keywords)
- Months 6-12: Page 1 rankings for multiple keywords, consistent lead flow
SEO is a long-term investment. Anyone promising “page 1 in 30 days” is lying or using black-hat tactics that will get you penalized.
Foundation Package ($897 one-time):
- Sets up your technical SEO properly
- One-time optimization of your site
- Gives you a roadmap
- No ongoing work
Best for: Contractors who want to DIY after setup, have tight budgets, or aren’t sure about ongoing SEO yet
Monthly SEO ($397/month):
- Ongoing optimization and monitoring
- Continuous citation building
- Regular Google Business Profile management
- Monthly keyword tracking
- Sustained effort = sustained results
Best for: Contractors ready to invest in long-term growth
Most contractors do Foundation first, then add monthly later when they’re ready.
If you’re a service contractor who serves multiple cities: Yes.
Here is why:
Example for an HVAC contractor serving 30 towns:
- Homepage
- About page
- 5 service pages (furnace repair, AC installation, etc.)
- 30 location pages (one per town you serve)
- Contact page
=42 pages minimum
Each location page helps you rank for “[service] in [city]” searches. Without them, you’re invisible in most of your service area.
Most web developers don’t understand this. They build 5-page sites that never rank locally.
Yes! While I’m based in New England, I work with service contractors nationwide.
Local SEO works the same everywhere. The tactics that work here work in Phoenix, Dallas, Miami, or anywhere else.
This research only benefits you. If you leave, I can’t take that market analysis and use it elsewhere – it’s tied to your specific area and services.
I’ve helped contractors rank in markets across the US. Your location doesn’t limit what we can achieve.
Perfect! I can work with your existing site.
After a free audit, I’ll recommend:
Option 1: Optimize what you have
If your site is technically sound, we can just optimize it ($397/month)
Option 2: Rebuild for SEO
If your site has major technical issues or missing location pages, rebuilding might be better (Redesign + SEO)
Option 3: Hybrid approach
Keep your site, fix critical issues, add missing location pages
I’ll give you an honest assessment—no upselling.
No. Anyone who guarantees specific rankings is lying.
Google’s algorithm has 200+ ranking factors and changes constantly. No one can guarantee you’ll rank #1 for “plumber Boston” or any other term.
What I DO guarantee:
- Professional, technically excellent work
- Ongoing optimization and monitoring
- Transparent reporting on progress
- Best practices that improve your chances
- Honest communication about what’s realistic
What typically happens: With consistent work, most contractors see significant improvement in 6-12 months. Some keywords rank faster, some slower. It’s a process, not a light switch.
SEO & Keyword Research:
- Ahrefs (backlink analysis, keyword research)
- Google Search Console (performance monitoring)
- Google Analytics (traffic analysis)
- Screaming Frog (technical audits)
- SEMrush
- DataForSEO
Local SEO:
- BrightLocal (citation building and monitoring)
- Google Business Profile dashboard
- Review monitoring tools
Technical:
- PageSpeed Insights (performance testing)
- GTmetrix (speed analysis)
- Schema markup validators
You get the benefit of all these tools without paying for them yourself.
No long-term contracts after initial minimum (3 months for monthly service).
If you cancel:
- I provide a final report showing what was done
- You keep all the optimization work (it’s on YOUR website)
- You keep your citations and Google Business Profile optimization
- No penalties, no hassle
What you lose:
- Ongoing monitoring and optimization
- Monthly citation building
- Google Business Profile management
- Keyword tracking and reporting
SEO is ongoing work. If you stop, your competitors will keep optimizing and eventually outrank you. But there’s no technical reason you can’t cancel if needed.
