INTERNET MARKETING FOR CONTRACTORS

Contractor Digital Marketing That Generates More Calls & Leads
Home » Industries » Contractors

Are you a contractor who’s phone isn’t ringing quite as much as you’d like? Digital marketing is a volatile industry, but Red Wagon’s internet marketing for contractors have helped hundreds of general contractors, remodelers, roofers, HVAC companies, and other home service companies generate more calls and inbound leads from their website.

Homeowners have thrown traditional contractor marketing strategies like the Yellowpages and door hangers out the window and turn to search engines like Google and Bing to book their next home improvement project. What’s more, if your competitors have more than one listing on page one of Google (like PPC ads, multiple organic listings, maps listings, etc.) this significantly decreases the chance that your listing will win the click!

  • 91% – Increase in phone calls in less than 12 months of investing in contractor internet marketing. Most notably, this client saw an increase of calls during their slow season.
  • 454% – Increase the same client saw in non-branded organic traffic.
  • 433% – Increase in online conversions.

When you choose Red Wagon as your local internet marketing partner, we handle all aspects of your online marketing strategy—from advertising tracking to content creation to Google Maps management, and more.

Increase Your Rankings & Search Visibility on Google Page One

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO ONLY HAVE A WEBSITE

Your website isn’t a brochure, it’s a virtual sales rep capable of generating massive amounts of leads and sales for your business, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional contractor marketing and advertising. But, can new customers find your website?
Your business is different from the competitors in your area, and so should your internet marketing campaign. At Red Wagon, we don’t take a cookie cutter approach to internet marketing for contractors. Work with a marketing partner with awards and experience, like Red Wagon. Internet marketing success is a real estate game. Your goal should be to cost-effectively build, develop, and maintain as much real estate as you need to establish yourself as the authority in your industry.

Contractor SEO & Content Marketing

IMPROVE ORGANIC SEARCH RANKINGS WITH SEO FOR CONTRACTORS

To rank well organically, you must establish and promote yourself as the authority for what you do, in the markets you do it. Ranking well on Google, Bing, and Yahoo requires three things:
  1. First, your website must be coded in a way that makes it easy for the search engines’ software to find, crawl, and index your website. At Red Wagon, our webmasters specialize in coding websites and landing pages that are not only visually appealing, but also are highly optimized for search engines—allowing your contracting company to get more traffic, leads, and sales from the internet.
  2. Second, create a data-driven content strategy with unique, relevant, high-quality content your customers crave. Google ranks web pages individually, not websites as a whole. Our content marketing team has extensive experience writing online content (including blogs, landing pages, press releases, e-mail newsletters, E-books, and more) specifically for contractors—so you won’t have to write a thing.
  3. Third, you must promote your site to other relevant and authoritative websites and get them to link to, reference, and cite you as an authority. Unlike other SEO companies, you’ll never have to worry about us building shady links that will get you penalized by Google!

LOCAL SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (LOCAL SEO)

Did you know that nearly half of total Google search queries have local intent? In addition to improving your organic search engine listings with contractor SEO services, if you’re a contractor, it’s also vital that you optimize for Google’s local listings. These seven local listings often appear before the organic listings, leading to better click-through-rates for your company from potential customers.
As an award winning SEO company, we understand that the more listings you have on the first page of search results—including local listings, organic listings, and paid listings—the better. Our local SEO services will increase your visibility for geographically-related searches.

PAY PER CLICK ADVERTISING FOR CONTRACTORS (PPC)

Because SEO campaigns can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to deliver results, we always recommend our new contractors invest in both pay per click (PPC) and SEO services. When you hire Red Wagon for PPC management, we handle it all—from keyword discovery to bid management; from ad copy creation to ad split testing; from pay per click call tracking to landing page optimization; we take care of everything and report the results to you monthly.
Investing in PPC, content marketing and SEO, as well as local SEO, is the most effective way to get more leads and sales from the web as well as maximize your contracting company’s online real estate. When you have a paid listing, local listing, and organic listing for a given search query, you greatly reduce the chance of someone clicking on one of your competitor’s links!

Determine Your True Marketing ROI with Advanced Analytics & Tracking

If you’re like most contractors, you don’t have the time or resources to waste on ineffective advertising strategies. That’s why at Red Wagon, we accurately measure and track each and every advertising campaign (from pay per click to SEO to e-mail newsletters and more) to find out which advertising and marketing strategies work and which should be changed or eliminated.
But don’t worry! You won’t receive loads of reports or spreadsheets to analyze! We understand that you’re busy running your contracting business and you simply don’t have time for that. That’s why we’ll also analyze your data and give you actionable recommendations to measurably improve your performance.

At Red Wagon, our marketing analytics services include:

Accurate measuring and tracking is truly the first step in contractor marketing online so you can truly quantify your marketing investments.
