Why Growth Stalls
Why most general contractors plateau.
Great work on the job site doesn't fill next month's schedule by itself. These are the four leaks we plug.
-
Estimates go out and go quiet
You spend hours pricing a detailed bid, send it, and never hear back. Without follow-up, a big share of your pipeline just evaporates.
-
Referrals don't run on a schedule
Word of mouth is real, but it's not reliable. A slow stretch waiting on the next referral is a stretch your crew and subs aren't billing.
-
Homeowners can't tell you apart from a handyman
If your site doesn't lead with your license, insurance, and real project photos, a homeowner about to spend six figures has no reason to choose you over the next name.
-
Remodeling franchises own the searches
National remodeling brands and lead-gen directories outspend independent GCs on “general contractor near me.” Stay invisible there and they get the call first.

Reactivation
Proof, not promises
Track every call, estimate, and dollar.
One dashboard shows how every channel turns into signed contracts: what's working, what it costs, and what to do next.
Lead Tracking Every estimate request followed up
Every homeowner who reaches out, from a form, an ad click, or a phone call, is captured and followed up automatically. Nobody who called during a busy week slips through.
See each lead's source
Every estimate request shows the ad, keyword, or page that produced it, so you fund what fills the schedule and cut what doesn't.
Follow-up on autopilot
Homeowners who haven't decided get friendly nudges until they book, no office staff chasing required.
ROI Tracking Proof of what pays off
We tie every signed contract to the campaign that produced it, so you know your real cost per signed project, a number that matters more here, where one project can be worth six figures.
Your cost per signed project
Ad spend, calls, and signed contracts roll into one number: what a new project costs you to win, and which way it's trending.
Channel-level ROI
Ads, SEO, and reviews are tracked apart, so you see which channel wins the biggest projects, and shift budget there.
Call Analysis No bookable estimate lost
Homeowners call with hard questions: licensing, insurance, timeline. A fumbled call is a lost bid.
Every call scored
Each call is graded on whether it booked an estimate, so you can spot the questions that lose bids and fix the answers fast.
Text-back in seconds
An unanswered call triggers an instant text from your business, reaching the homeowner before the next contractor on their list does.
Review Generation Proof other homeowners trust
Homeowners about to sign a big contract lean hard on other homeowners' words. Reviews decide who gets the call, and they feed both Google rankings and AI answers.
Asks at the right moment
After a project wraps and the homeowner is happiest, each client gets one friendly text or email asking for a Google review.
Every review watched
New reviews across Google and beyond land in one feed, so you can reply fast and protect the reputation that wins the next bid.

Straight answers
Marketing for general contractors, without the mystery
It runs the channels homeowners use to find and vet a contractor: your website, Google Ads, local SEO, AI search, email, and reviews. SearchPod runs them as one system and tracks every call and form, so you know exactly what's filling next month's schedule.
Our pricing is public and simple. Google Ads runs at 10% of whatever you spend on ads, with a $600 monthly floor, and we never mark up your ad spend, all of it goes straight to Google. SEO costs $50 per page, with a 10-page monthly minimum. If you want a new website, pick from eight fixed packages between $1,500 and $20,000+, listed at /websites. There's no setup fee, no contract, and you can leave whenever you want.
Referrals are great until the schedule has a gap. If a slow month waiting on word of mouth costs you more than a system that fills it on purpose, marketing pays for itself.
The right agency runs your site, ads, SEO, AI search, and reviews under one roof and can tell you what a signed project actually costs to win, not just how many clicks an ad got. Make sure you keep ownership of your site, your ad accounts, and your client records, and that nothing locks you in past a month.
Within the first few weeks, Google Ads can already be putting your business in front of homeowners who are searching right now. SEO, AI search, and reviews take longer to build, but in the months after they're producing estimate requests you're not paying for click by click.
Instead of juggling five different vendors who never coordinate, you get one team running your website, Google Ads, SEO, AI search, email, and reviews together. Our pricing stays public, setup costs $0, and everything runs month to month. If your first 30 days don't work out, you don't pay for them.
We handle the full picture: website and branding, Google Ads, local SEO, AI search, email, and review generation, run by one team under one report. You're no longer stuck translating between five different vendors.
Yes. Every call, form submission, and estimate request gets tracked from day one, so you can see exactly what it costs to land a signed contract and trace it back to the campaign that produced it.
Yes. We build follow-up sequences that keep a bid warm after it's sent, so fewer homeowners quietly go with the next name on their list while they think it over.
Booked-out schedules end. Marketing that starts now is what fills the gap after this season's projects wrap, instead of leaving you scrambling for the next bid in a slow month.
Everything stays yours: the website, the brand assets, the ad accounts, and every client record we help you collect. Nothing is held back if you ever decide to leave, you take all of it with you.
A specialist will hand you a real plan, real pricing included, within one business day of requesting a proposal. From there, your website's timeline comes down to the package you choose and how quickly you can send over project photos and details.
