FAQ
Questions About General Contractor Websites
How much does a contractor website cost?
Contractors can start with Foundation at $2,495 setup plus $349/month. Additional pages, migrations, and custom functions are scoped and approved separately.
Can you help me show off my past projects?
Absolutely — portfolio display is one of our specialties. If you have photos, we'll organize and present them effectively.
Do I need to provide photos or will you source them?
Real photos of your work are always best. We'll guide you through capturing usable shots if you don't have professional photos.
How soon is website delivery?
Website delivery is within 7 days after the client supplies business information, logo, photos, and service list.
How customers choose a general contracting company
Many clients plan a remodel or addition over weeks, review portfolios, compare scopes, and speak with more than one contractor. Commercial and larger residential projects may require a formal qualification process. The website should show the kind and scale of work you accept before asking for a meeting.
What your website needs to show
Organize work by project type, such as additions, kitchen renovations, whole-home remodeling, or commercial build-outs. Each portfolio example should identify the scope and location only with client permission. Explain how an initial conversation, site visit, and written proposal typically proceed. Keep the phone number and a short, useful inquiry path easy to find. Ask only for details needed to respond. Do not publish qualifications, service promises, or project photos unless they are accurate and approved.
Google Business Profile and structured data
General contractor is usually the most accurate primary Google Business Profile category. Add a remodeling or construction specialty category only if it represents a substantial service you currently offer. A useful website can also describe the business consistently. A developer might use the Schema.org GeneralContractor type when it accurately represents the real business. Structured data helps systems interpret a page; it does not guarantee a search feature or ranking.
Common website mistakes in this trade
A gallery without project context, a service list that says only 'residential and commercial,' and unclear project minimums leave qualified prospects unsure whether to inquire. Other frequent problems are a slow mobile page, an untested phone link, duplicated service-area copy, and forms that fail without showing a confirmation. Review the full path on a phone before relying on it for new inquiries.
What we build for this trade
We structure project pages around the work you want to win, support them with real project evidence, and make the first qualification step clear. The work starts with the services, customers, and places the company actually serves. We connect service pages to accurate proof, clear contact details, and a next step that fits the job rather than forcing every visitor into the same form.
How Google and AI answer engines understand a local business
Google can compare the query with the business profile, page content, location, and other available signals. AI answer engines also need clear, consistent information about what the company does, where it works, and which questions it can answer. Keep service names consistent across the site and profile, provide useful explanations instead of repeated keyword lists, and earn genuine reviews without scripting them. No website change guarantees a ranking, call, or recommendation.

Which Google category should a general contractor use?
General contractor is a suitable primary category when that is the business's main work. Additional categories should match real, actively offered specialties.
Do project galleries help a contractor website?
