How to Build a Contractor Website That Brings In Work (Not Just Looks Good)

Most contractor sites are just digital business cards. Here's how to make one that actually gets you more calls and quote requests.

1. Most Contractor Sites Are Just Digital Business Cards

You've got a nice logo, a couple photos, maybe a phone number — but no quote form, no SEO, and no real reason for customers to reach out. If your site isn't generating leads, it's just taking up space.

2. What Makes a Site Book Work

  • Clear CTA: "Get a Free Estimate" button at top and bottom of every page
  • Mobile First: 70%+ of your visitors are on phones — your site has to look great there
  • Fast Load Time: If it takes more than 3 seconds, you're losing people
  • Real Proof: Before/after photos, 5-star reviews, and clear service areas
  • SEO Fundamentals: Title tag, H1, service pages, city keywords, internal links

3. How to Know If Yours Is Working

  • Do you get at least 10 quote requests/month from your site?
  • Are people finding you when they Google "roofer near me" or "Youngstown HVAC"?
  • Is your site showing up on page 1?

If not — it's time to fix it.
