Can I just set up my own Google Business Profile?

You can, and we'll tell you how. What most contractors miss is verification and the service-area setup — those are where profiles stall for months.

What does it cost me to start?

Nothing. We build the site first; you pay $99/mo once it's live. No contract.

How long does it take?

About 14 days once we have your logo, photos, service area and phone number.

No pitch. No obligation. You keep the site.

What this actually costs you

A homeowner searching “plumber near me” or “roofer near me” looks at the map first. Three names show. If yours isn’t one of them, you are invisible to the search with the highest intent on the internet.

What we found on a real home-services site

Verified finding · Sanford, NC

Most of the trade sites we review have a Google Business Profile that is unclaimed, or claimed and never touched — no hours, no photos, no services. It is free to fix, and it is the single fastest thing a contractor can do to start showing up on the map.

How it works

We build your site — free. Live in about 14 days. Titles, structure, speed and on-page SEO done right at launch.
$99/mo keeps it live. Hosting and maintenance only. No contract. Cancel anytime, the site is yours.
Want more calls? The $199/mo SEO package works on ranking and Google Business Profile — only if it’ll earn its keep.
The 10-calls-in-90-days standard. We only take that on once the site is live and we can see the calls coming in.

The honest math

GBP setup is free with any build. Compare that to an agency charging a monthly retainer just to “manage” a profile you can own yourself for nothing.

Questions contractors actually ask

What does it cost me to start?: Nothing. We build the site first. You only pay $99/mo once it’s live and you’re happy with it. No contract — cancel any time and you keep the site.
How long does it take?: About 14 days from the time we have your basics (logo, photos, service area, phone number).
Do I need to know anything about websites?: No. You answer a few questions about your business and we handle the rest.
What’s the $199/mo thing?: Ongoing SEO — ranking work and Google Business Profile management. It’s optional, and we’ll tell you honestly if it won’t earn its keep for you yet.
