Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, solar, pest control, garage doors, pool service, landscaping. This is our largest industry segment and the one we have the most pattern recognition in — we’ve worked with dozens of local service businesses across South Florida and know what gets buyers to call.
We help South Florida contractors, from roofers and HVAC to pool service and landscaping, show up on the Google map and turn visits into calls. That means a finished Business Profile, fast sites built around real jobs, steady reviews and tracking on every call. Clients include Mike McGilvary Roofing, whose clicks from Google are up 838%.
Local service businesses have a specific marketing pattern: most leads come from Google Maps + Google Search, with paid ads filling in the gap when search results are too competitive. Email + social do less work for this industry than for ecommerce or business-to-business. Here’s what we’d focus on.
Fast-loading mobile sites where the “get a quote” form is the first thing visitors see. We design specifically for the pattern of local service buyers: they Google a problem (“leak in my roof”), click a few results, and call the first business that gives them confidence in the first 5 seconds.
Web Design ServicesThe three map results are where many local service calls start. We do the full Google Business Profile program: setup + categories, weekly photos, weekly posts, review-velocity strategy, Q&A seeding, citation building. Packages from $649 a month.
SEO ServicesWhen organic rankings aren’t there yet (or when the local search results are too competitive), Google Ads fills the gap. We optimize for cost-per-qualified-lead, not cost-per-click. $600 a month management + ad spend.
Google Ads ManagementReviews drive conversion AND search rankings for local service. We build review-velocity programs that ask the right customers at the right time, respond to negative reviews professionally, and surface positive reviews across your site + ads. Included in SEO retainers from $649 a month.
Reputation workLocal service marketing is different from ecommerce or business-to-business in a specific way: the buyer journey is short, urgent, and decision-driven by trust signals rather than detailed research. Someone with a leaking roof Googles “roof repair near me,” sees 3 businesses in the Maps pack, glances at reviews + photos, and calls the most credible one. That whole journey is often under 60 seconds.
That changes what matters in your marketing. Site speed matters more than depth of copy — if the page takes 4 seconds to load on a phone, you lost the buyer to a competitor with a 2-second site. Google Business Profile matters more than your homepage in many categories — many clicks go to the map results, not to the regular organic results below it. Photo cadence on your Google Business Profile matters more than blog posts — recent photos signal an active, real business.
For paid ads, the same urgency applies. Landing page form-above-the-fold + click-to-call button + trust signals (review count, license number, years in business) are non-negotiable. We’ve worked with dozens of local service businesses across South Florida; the pattern is consistent.
