Questions

SEO for General ContractorsFAQ.

How do general contractors get clients online?

By ranking for local searches for each type of project they offer, showcasing completed projects, displaying credentials clearly and building reviews on their Google Business Profile.

Should a general contractor focus on residential or commercial SEO?

Focus on whichever work is most profitable for you, and give each its own pages. Trying to rank one page for both usually means ranking for neither.
