Contractor Websites and SEO That Win More Projects
LocalBiz builds your general contracting or remodeling company a website you own, with a page for each kind of project and each town you build in, so homeowners planning a kitchen or an addition put you on their shortlist.
What homeowners search before a remodel
US searches a month and what advertisers pay Google for one click. Remodeling is researched for months, so the project pages matter as much as the "near me" search.
| Search | Searches / month | Cost per ad click | Peak month | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “general contractor near me” | 135,000 | $10.70 | September | Huge and steady. Town pages are how you count as near across your area. |
| “kitchen remodel” | 74,000 | $15.78 | September | The biggest single project search. It needs its own page, with your kitchens on it. |
| “remodeling contractor” | 22,200 | $14.44 | September | About nine times busier in September than in May. Be ranking before then. |
| “bathroom remodel cost” | 33,100 | $20.51 | March | Peaks in March. A price range is the reason they clicked. |
| “basement finishing” | 12,100 | $23.13 | September | The costliest click here, from homeowners who've already decided. |
| “home addition cost” | 2,900 | $8.19 | November | Small but valuable: one addition can be a season's work. |
LocalBiz analysis of DataForSEO Google Ads search volume, United States, English data, pulled November 2026. Searches per month are the US average over 12 months; cost per ad click is Google Ads' average estimate; the peak month is the busiest of the last 12.
What LocalBiz does for your contracting company
The website, the project pages that get it found, and the requests it brings, all on one plan. You describe your projects and service area; LocalBiz builds and writes, and you approve before anything's published.
A custom, fast site around your projects, your license and your area. The code is in your own GitHub and runs on your own hosting and domain, so your portfolio and rankings stay yours.
Homeowners search by project, so each one gets a page:
- Kitchen remodels
- Bathroom remodels
- Home additions
- Basement finishing
Service-in-town pages so you show up where your next client lives:
- Kitchen remodel in Franklin
- Basement finishing in Brentwood
- Home additions in Nashville
A quote form on every page lets a homeowner describe the project and budget. Each inquiry is emailed to you and saved in your dashboard. No fees per lead, no sharing it with other contractors.
Remodels are researched long before a call. Blog posts meet them there, published for you:
- What a kitchen remodel costs in Middle Tennessee
- Addition or move? How to decide
Track "kitchen remodel" and "general contractor" in every town you work. Finished a project worth showing? Ask the website editor to add it.
How it works
- Tell us about your projects
For example: "We do kitchen and bath remodels, additions and basement finishes in Nashville, Franklin and Brentwood."
- LocalBiz builds the site and project pages
A page per project type and per town, written for you to review and approve.
- Stay on the shortlist
Posts reach homeowners while they plan, inquiries reach your inbox, and you see your rankings town by town.
Pay per click for every remodeling shopper?
Homeowners researching a remodel click on a lot of contractors over a lot of weeks. With ads, you pay for every one of those visits.
Project pages that rank keep bringing those homeowners back without a per-click charge, with your finished work on the page when they're ready to ask for a quote.
Questions general contractors ask us
Does my contractor license number need to be on my website?
In several states, yes. California requires it in "all forms of advertising", which its rules apply to websites, and Florida requires it in each advertisement "regardless of medium". Our blog has a guide to each state's rule. A footer line covers every page; ask for one in the LocalBiz website editor.
Can I advertise "licensed, bonded and insured"?
Check your state first. California, for one, disciplines contractors for advertising "bonded" when it refers to the license bond, and for "insured" unless the ad names the type of insurance. Naming the coverage, like general liability and workers' comp, is the safer line.
Should every project type have its own page?
Every type you want more of. A homeowner searching for basement finishing wants to see basements. LocalBiz writes a page per project and links them together.
How do project inquiries reach me?
Through the quote form on every page. Each inquiry is emailed to you and saved in your LocalBiz dashboard. LocalBiz doesn't charge per lead, estimate jobs or manage projects.
