The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand New York?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. General Contractors in New York 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 Midtown.
Rising cost per lead
Generic "contractor" searches hide high-value terms like kitchen remodels, additions and ADUs. Paying per click for every New York lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for general contractors.
Google Business Profile optimization
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your contracting company's profile so it is eligible to rank across New York.
- Primary category set to “General contractor”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Astoria and Long Island City

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
