Digital marketing for contractors: a simple plan that brings in jobs

Where contractors should spend time and money online: website, Google Business Profile, reviews, ads and the growing role of AI recommendations.

Start with a website that converts

Your website is where every other channel lands. It needs a clear headline saying what you do and where, a phone number that's tappable on mobile, project photos and a short quote form.

Treat your Google Business Profile like a second website

Choose accurate categories, list every service, add photos monthly and post updates. It feeds Google Maps, and AI assistants draw on the same information.

Build reputation, not just traffic

Reviews, local news mentions, supplier and association listings all build the trust that gets you recommended, by people and by AI. A steady trickle beats a one-time push.
