→ HOME SERVICES · INDUSTRY 01
Home services.
Map pack first. Always.
Plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, pest control, cleaning, garage doors, locksmiths. The trades that need the local pack most — and that we know how to rank.
→ WHY HOME SERVICES NEEDS LOCAL SEO MOST
The LSA economics broke.
Local SEO didn't.
Five years ago Local Services Ads were $25 a lead. Today the same vertical can run $80–130 a lead, with lead-to-close rates that haven't kept up. The paid channel keeps getting more expensive.
A top-3 map-pack ranking in your service area produces calls every day, costs the same flat retainer regardless of how many leads come through, and compounds over time instead of resetting every billing cycle.
→ WHAT'S SPECIFIC TO HOME SERVICES
Five things we get right that generalists miss.
→ TIER FIT
Most home-service clients fit Core.
$500 / month.
A well-established service business with 5+ years in market typically lands on Core. New solo operators start on Charter ($300/mo, 6-month minimum). Multi-truck operations or unusually competitive metros sometimes flex up to Pro.

Common questions.
Q.01 I already pay for Local Services Ads. Why do I need this?
LSA leads have crossed $80+ each in most trades, with declining quality. Organic local SEO (GBP + map pack rankings) gets you the same lead without the per-click cost. We've had clients cut LSA spend by 60–70% within 6 months once organic kicked in. We're not against LSA — we just make it less necessary.
Q.02 How fast can you get me ranking in Cedar Rapids / my market?
Honest answer: 90 days for citations and on-page work to land, 3–6 months for measurable local-pack ranking shifts in competitive markets, 6–12 months to hold top-3 against entrenched competitors. We don't promise faster than reality.
Q.03 I have multiple service areas. Will you build separate pages?
At Charter, no — one homepage with strong local signals. At Core, we add 1 location page if it makes sense. At Pro, you get 1 new local landing page per quarter, targeted to the highest-volume secondary market.
Q.04 Will you take on my biggest competitor?
No. Competitor exclusivity in the contract. First plumber in Cedar Rapids gets exclusivity in Cedar Rapids. The competitor calls; we tell them no.
Q.05 Do you handle Yelp, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack?
NAP consistency across them, yes. Active campaigns or paid placements on those platforms, no — different model from local SEO and we don't want to dilute focus.
