The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Columbus?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. General Contractors in Columbus need people close by searching "home remodeling", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Projects are large and planned months ahead, so homeowners compare portfolios and reviews closely.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Houzz and old directories confuse Google and push your contracting company down the map in Victorian Village.
Rising cost per lead
Generic "contractor" searches hide high-value terms like kitchen remodels, additions and ADUs. Paying per click for every Columbus lead gets expensive fast.

- Primary category set to “General contractor”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
