How much does contractor marketing cost?

Contractor marketing budgets range from $2,000-$5,000/month depending on project size and your market. Home remodel keywords cost $20-$70 per click. Construction SEO starts at $2,500/month. We offer flexible packages where you scale spend based on lead quality and project size.

How long does it take to get contractor leads from marketing?

Google Ads deliver qualified leads within 48 hours. Home remodel projects have 6-8 week decision cycles, so retargeting is essential. SEO takes 90-180 days to show meaningful results, with portfolio pages ranking well by month 4. Most GCs see 2-3 qualified bids per week by month 3.

What's the best digital marketing strategy for general contractors?

A portfolio-driven strategy dominates. Google Ads target 'kitchen remodel near me' and 'bathroom remodeling cost.' SEO ranks project pages. Retargeting keeps you visible during long decision cycles. Before/after social content builds credibility. The best GCs combine all four—homeowners research for weeks before hiring.

What ROI can a general contractor expect from marketing?

Average kitchen remodel is $25,000-$75,000 in revenue. A single qualified bid that converts covers 3-4 months of marketing spend. If you land one remodel per month, ROI is 400-600%. Most GCs reach 2-3 jobs per month within 6 months, making marketing their best investment.

How do you market specific projects like kitchen or bathroom remodels?

We create dedicated landing pages for each service: 'Kitchen Remodel Cost,' 'Bathroom Renovation,' 'Deck Building,' etc. Each page showcases 5-8 before/after projects. Google Ads target these service pages with location modifiers. Social shows the transformation process. Portfolio pages rank for 'kitchen remodel contractor' + city, capturing homeowners ready to hire.
