Find your trade

  • Plumbing

    Urgent searches: the first trusted name on the map gets the call.

  • HVAC

    Seasonal spikes: be visible before the first heat wave or cold snap.

  • Roofing

    Storm-driven, high-ticket jobs where trust decides.

  • Electrical

    A mix of urgent repairs and planned upgrades.

  • Fencing
  • Landscaping and lawn care
  • Pest control
  • Garage doors
  • Water damage restoration
  • Painting and remodeling

How do home-service customers choose who to call?

It depends on the job. An emergency customer needs to know quickly whether you handle the problem, cover their town and can take the call. A planned-project customer also needs evidence of similar work and a clear estimate process. Your pages, profile and reviews have to answer both.

  • Example, urgent repaira homeowner with no hot water searches on a phone. They need to see that you fix water heaters, that you cover their town, and a number they can tap.
  • Example, planned replacementa homeowner pricing a new roof compares a few companies. They look for roofs you've replaced, reviews that mention similar jobs, and an easy way to request an estimate.

Illustrative examples, not client results.

Quick answer

Do you sell leads?

No. We don't sell leads, and we don't share them with your competitors. We help generate calls and estimate requests through your own Google Business Profile, website and reviews. Each month you see the calls and requests your tracking records; whether they became booked work comes from your records, and when you share them we report them together.

Case study

Case study: a fence company, from one county to Metro Atlanta

The problem

"we struggled to generate consistent leads online and were invisible in search results."

The work

SEO and web design over an 8-year partnership, plus reputation management.

The results Zack Goekjian (CEO) describes in his testimonial
  • "Within the first year, our website started ranking for competitive keywords like 'Atlanta fence installation' and 'Atlanta fence company'"
  • 250% more qualified leads
  • from 1 county to several across Metro Atlanta
  • from 5 people to 12
  • reputation work that helped maintain a 4.9-star average rating.

These are Zack's own figures from his testimonial, not numbers we measured. Results depend on your market and starting point.

What does our research on 5,000+ contractors show?

We studied more than 5,000 home-service contractors across 50 metros and 8 trades in October 2026: their Google Maps rankings, reviews, websites and what ChatGPT (API, with web search) says about them. It helps us decide what to check first on your site and profile. Three findings:

  • ChatGPT cited third parties when asked about a named contractorthe Better Business Bureau in 10,582 of 11,982 answers and license records in 10,288.
  • Review recency differed more than ratingsMaps top-three businesses that ChatGPT named had a newest review a median of 3 days old, against 19 for the ones it skipped; ratings were high in both groups.
  • Call links were common; other inquiry options variedforms on 2,605 of 4,433 homepages and booking signals on 1,636.

These are associations in our sample, not proof of what causes rankings or recommendations. Full method: what ChatGPT checks before recommending a contractor.

When do home-service searches peak?

Search demand swings by trade and season, and by city. In the US, AC repair searches peak in July, furnace repair in January, roofing in September and remodeling in January.

FAQ

Questions home-service owners ask

The work

Which trades do you work with?
Home-service and contractor trades that do their work on a customer's property: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, pest control, garage doors, water damage restoration, remodeling, fencing and many more. The trade list above links to each one.
Do you work with more than one company in my trade?
In your area, no. We work with one company per trade in your area, so we're never helping your direct competitor win the same customers.
Do I need to be in a big city?
No. We take on home-service companies across the US, in big metros and smaller markets. What matters is that you serve an area and want more of the right jobs in it.
Who do I deal with?
Youssef Hodaigui, the founder, is your contact between quarterly calls. Calls and texts are answered as they come in; emails usually within hours.
Is your research about my market?
Our dataset covers 50 metros and 8 trades. Where it covers your trade in your metro, we can show you that sample. Your free AI Visibility Review always looks at your own market directly.
Do I need a new website?
Not always. If yours can't turn visits into calls, we'll say so and quote a site separately.

Cost and terms

Am I locked into a contract?
The first 90 days are committed and billed monthly. After that it's month to month with 30 days' notice.
Who owns my accounts and website?
You do. Every account stays in your name, and website files and copy are yours once paid.
Will you work with my competitor?
No. We won't work with your direct competitor in your area.
Do you run Google Ads, Local Services Ads or ChatGPT ads?
Case by case. Our plans cover SEO, AI search, your Google Business Profile, reviews and conversion. When paid ads fit your market and goals, we scope Google Ads, Local Services Ads or ChatGPT ads in your proposal. Ad spend goes to the platform and isn't part of our fee.

AI and results

How long does SEO take?
Usually months, not weeks. How fast depends on your competitors and on how complete your Business Profile and site are today.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. No one can guarantee a spot on Google or in an AI answer. We show you the work and the results.
Is AI SEO extra?
No. AI search optimization is included in SEO in every plan.
