What we see in trades & contractors websites
These are the patterns our Diagnostic Framework consistently surfaces in trades & contractors sites — and the signals your visitors and regulators expect.
Common gaps for Trades & Contractors
- Incomplete Google Business Profile — missing service categories, service areas, business hours, and photos that keep you out of the Local Map Pack
- Not appearing in 'near me' searches because there are no service area pages targeting the specific cities and neighborhoods you serve
- No review management strategy — fewer than 10 Google reviews or no responses to existing reviews, which kills conversion
- No quote request form on the website — visitors have to call or email, and after-hours leads are lost entirely
- No photo portfolio of completed work — homeowners want to see proof of quality before they pick up the phone
What good looks like

Reviews are displayed prominently and responded to within 24 hours.
