Slow website = lost calls.
If your contractor website loads slow on mobile, it may hurt your Google rankings and cause customers to leave before calling.

Does your contracting website have a click to call button? If not, you are missing out big time.

Most contractors in St. Charles County have their Google Business Profile set up wrong and they don’t know it. Comment AUDIT and I’ll send you the free checklist.

Most contractors set up their Google Business Profile once and never touch it again.

A profile with no new photos in 12 to 14 months does not read as stable. It reads as dormant. That distinction matters when a homeowner is looking at two listings side by side on a Saturday morning and deciding who to call.

The listing that has recent job photos, filled-out services, and answered questions wins that comparison. The one that looks like it was last updated in 2022 does not, even if the contractor behind it is booked three months out.

The fix: photo from the job site, uploaded within 48 hours of completion. That is the whole system.

More leads is not always the fix. Sometimes the site is pulling in the wrong people.

When a contractor is flooded with price-shoppers, the instinct is to generate more volume. Run more ads. Post more. Get in front of more eyes.

But the site itself shapes who reaches out.

A page with no clear service scope, no defined service area, and no framing around what the work actually costs will attract anyone. That includes a lot of people who were never going to hire you.

A site built with clear service pages, defined coverage areas, and honest framing around the type of work you do starts to filter that on its own.

That structure is what we build.

If you want your contracting business to get suggested by AI, you need to make sure all of the SEO best practices are being followed on your website.

Being rank number 1, 2, 3, etc. on Google is still important, but a lot of people are searching ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and many other AI tools. Message me if you have any questions or want to capitalize on this new trend.

Contractor Website Tip:

Add “Recent Jobs” to Your Homepage

Homeowners want proof you actually work in their area.

Add a small Recent Jobs section with:

- A photo
- The city
- The service performed

Example:

Exterior House Painting - O’Fallon
Repainted siding and trim on a two-story home.

This builds trust and shows Google you actively work in those areas.
