For general contractors

Marketing for General contractors

Big projects take months to decide and come with plenty of tire-kickers. We build websites that attract the right clients, qualify leads before you drive out, and keep you in touch until they're ready to sign.

What holds general contractors back

Most of the jobs you lose never show up in a report. These are the leaks we see most often.

Long sales cycles

Additions, major renovations and custom work can take months from first call to contract.

Unqualified leads

Site visits cost hours. Many inquiries have unrealistic budgets or timelines.

Proving you can deliver

Clients want to see similar projects, understand your process and trust you with a large budget.

Referral dependence

Word of mouth is great but unpredictable. A steady pipeline needs a second source.

How homeowners search for you

Real examples of what GTA homeowners type into Google and ask AI assistants. Your website, Business Profile and reviews should answer every one of them.

Your year, planned

Marketing that follows your trade's seasons instead of fighting them.

Spring

Project planning peaks; fast response to new inquiries matters most.

Summer

Showcase active projects and collect reviews from finished ones.

Fall

Interior and winter-friendly projects; nurture spring leads early.

Winter

Clients plan next year’s projects; long-cycle follow-up pays off.

What contractors say

“Worth every dollar. Paid for itself quicker than expected.”

Common questions

Can you help us show our project portfolio?

Yes. Project pages with real photos, scope and timelines are some of the most persuasive content a general contractor can have, and they help you rank for the work you want more of.

How do you filter out unrealistic budgets?

Short qualifying questions in your forms and chat, plus honest guidance on typical cost ranges, help serious clients self-select before you invest in a site visit.

Should we mention RenoMark or association memberships?

Yes. Memberships and certifications like RenoMark reassure clients and give search engines and AI tools independent evidence of your credibility.
