A Contractor Website Built to Get You Found by AI
Homeowners are asking ChatGPT, Siri, and Google AI who to call. Most contractor websites don't show up in those answers because they were never built to. We fix that from the ground up.
Why Most Contractor Websites Fail in AI Search
AI search does not work like Google blue links. The way it finds and cites contractors is completely different.
60%+
of home service searches now surface an AI-generated answer before any website link. If you are not cited in that answer, you are invisible.
3 of 4
contractor websites have incomplete or missing schema markup - the structured language AI platforms read to identify and cite service providers.
Sub-60
mobile performance scores are typical for contractor websites built on Wix or by general web designers. Slow sites get passed over by AI platforms.
When a homeowner asks Google AI or ChatGPT "who's the best HVAC company near me," your website either gets cited or it gets skipped. AI pulls answers from sites with clean structure, complete schema markup, and content written around real questions. Most contractor websites were not built with any of that in mind.

How We Build It
A straightforward four-step process. Most projects go from strategy call to launch in 3-5 weeks.
Strategy Call
We spend 60-90 minutes learning your business - every service you offer, every area you serve, what separates you from the three other companies in your market, and what kind of jobs you want more of. We leave with everything we need to write your entire site. You do not need to prepare anything in advance.
Content and Structure
We write every page from scratch - homepage, all service pages, about, contact, and FAQ. No templates, no filler. Each page is built around the specific questions homeowners ask when they need someone in your trade. You review drafts and give feedback before we build anything.
Build and Schema
We build on lean, fast WordPress infrastructure - the same stack that scores 99/100 on mobile performance. Full schema markup goes on every page: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and Review. You get a staging link to review and approve before anything goes live to the public.
Launch and Handoff
We launch, submit your sitemap and all pages to Google and Bing via IndexNow, verify schema in Search Console, and hand you full admin access to everything. You own the domain, the hosting account, the code, and all content. If you want to grow your AI citation share after launch, our GEO and AI Visibility service is available as a separate engagement.
Investment
Flat-fee project pricing. No retainer. No surprise costs after the fact.
Most projects fall in this range
$2,500 - $5,000
One-time project fee. Hosting is separate and stays in your name.
Price depends on scope - primarily the number of service pages and service areas. A plumber with four services in one market is a different project than an HVAC company with twelve services across eight cities.

Common Questions
Do I need to prepare content before we start?
No. We write every page - homepage, service pages, about, FAQ, and contact. All we need from you is the strategy call to learn your business, and a review of the drafts we send before we build. That is the full extent of your involvement in the content process.
How long does the build take?
From strategy call to launch, most projects take 3-5 weeks. The main variable is how quickly you review and approve content drafts. Contractors who respond fast get launched fast.
I already have a website. Is a full rebuild worth it?
Most of our clients already have a website - usually built on Wix, built by a general web designer years ago, or not updated since. A rebuild makes sense when the site has structural problems that cannot be patched: missing schema, unstructured content, poor mobile scores, or a platform that blocks you from making changes. The free audit tells you exactly which situation you are in.
How is this different from hiring any web designer?
Most web designers optimize for visual appeal and basic Google rankings. We build for AI citation signals - structured content, complete schema markup, and technical architecture that AI platforms can read and extract from. The site looks professional, but it is built differently under the hood. The free audit shows you exactly what your current site is missing.
Do you handle hosting?
We set up and configure hosting on your behalf, but the account is in your name. You pay the hosting provider directly - typically $20-40 per month for managed WordPress hosting. We do not resell hosting or take a margin on it.
What happens after launch?
You get 30 days of post-launch support included - fixing anything that needs adjustment, answering questions, and making small content updates. After that, our GEO and AI Visibility service is available for contractors who want to actively grow their citation share month over month. That is a separate ongoing engagement, not included in the website project.
