RedShift Local
Local SEO Services for General Contractors
Win more bids and build your reputation with a strong local presence
Homeowners, builders, and commercial clients turn to Google when they need a trusted general contractor. Whether you specialize in full remodels, additions, new construction, or light commercial work — if your company isn’t showing up in the map pack, Local Service Ads (LSAs), or organic search results, your competition is winning the jobs that should be yours.
At Redshift Local, we help general contractors take over their local market with a proven, conversion-driven SEO strategy. We combine Google profile optimization, technical SEO, content creation, and lead tracking into one system designed to get your phone ringing.
Does Local SEO Work for General Contractors?
Absolutely — especially for high-ticket, location-based services like general contracting.
Your ideal clients are actively searching online for phrases like:
- “home remodel contractor near me”
- “general contractor for kitchen addition”
- “licensed contractor in [city]”
With Local SEO, you can:
- Show up in the top results when clients are ready to hire
- Build long-term trust with reviews and a strong web presence
- Expand into neighboring cities or zip codes
- Generate inbound leads year-round — without chasing jobs
We’ve helped GCs increase organic traffic by over 100% and reduce reliance on paid lead platforms — by getting found where it counts.
Why Most SEO Doesn’t Work for GCs
Most SEO agencies take a one-size-fits-all approach. They write generic content, skip service area targeting, and don’t understand the complexity of general contracting projects.
You need a tailored strategy that helps you:
- Show up for both residential and commercial search terms
- Rank for your highest-value services
- Build visibility in multiple towns or counties
- Display credibility and experience with strong reviews and project photos
Redshift Local builds every piece of your SEO strategy around what actually brings in leads.
Our “Blended” Local SEO Strategy for General Contractors
We use our VTC Framework™ — Visibility, Traffic, Conversions — to build a lead-generation engine for your contracting business.
Local Service Ads (LSAs)
LSAs put you at the top of Google — above ads, map listings, and organic results.
We help you:
- Get Google Guaranteed and fully verified
- Set up categories that match your services (remodeling, additions, new construction, etc.)
- Manage reviews to improve ranking and trust
- Track and report on every lead you receive
Pay only for actual leads — not random clicks.
Google Business Profile Optimization
Your GBP is your most visible local asset.
We optimize it to drive calls and leads:
- Choose the right categories and service listings
- Map your service area accurately
- Upload project photos and before-and-afters
- Manage reviews, Q&A, and Google Posts weekly
An optimized GBP builds trust before a prospect even visits your website.
Location-Based Service Pages & SEO Content
We create content that gets you found in every area you serve, including:
- Geo-specific landing pages (e.g., general contractor in [city])
- Service pages for kitchen remodels, additions, design-build projects
- Content for residential, commercial, and specialty work
- Blog posts and FAQs that address common questions and concerns
Every page is written to rank, convert, and showcase your expertise.
Website Optimization & Technical SEO
If your website isn’t fast, mobile-friendly, and optimized — you’re missing leads.
We make sure your site:
- Loads quickly and performs well on mobile
- Uses structured data (schema) for better indexing
- Has clear calls-to-action and quote request forms
- Reflects your brand and positions you as the expert
Need a new site? We’ll build one that’s modern, functional, and SEO-ready.

- Contractor directories and builder associations
- Local business listings with accurate NAP
- Press features and project showcases

These help boost organic visibility and set you apart from fly-by-night competitors.
Review Generation & Management
Trust is everything in contracting. We help you:
- Ask for reviews after each completed project
- Automate follow-ups via text or email
- Respond to all reviews — even the tough ones
- Feature top reviews on your website and LSA profile
The more reviews you have, the more visibility and trust you’ll earn.
