Built for Construction & Home Services Brands That Have Outgrown Their Last SEO Agency.
The Bay Area's most aggressive construction firms already own the search results for 'general contractor San Francisco', 'commercial construction Mission', and 'residential renovation Pacific Heights' — the firms still relying on referrals and word-of-mouth are losing $200k–$800k annually in bid opportunities.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
San Francisco construction & home services is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
San Francisco's construction market will spend $47 billion by 2026 — and 73% of project managers search Google before hiring
San Francisco's construction market is fractured across seven distinct segments: residential retrofit (seismic, energy efficiency), commercial office build-out (SoMa, Financial District), hospitality renovation, tech campus buildout, historical restoration (Castro, Pacific Heights), interior fit-out, and green building certification work. Unlike most cities, San Francisco construction bidding is ruthlessly competitive and digitally transparent — project managers at Google, Salesforce, and major real estate firms search for specialists before RFPs go out. According to local construction search data, 73% of Bay Area project managers now research contractors on Google before issuing RFPs — up from 41% in 2022. General contractors and specialty firms with strong local SEO win 2.8x more bids than those relying on traditional networking and cold calling.

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does construction SEO cost for a San Francisco contractor?
San Francisco construction SEO retainers typically run $3,200–$8,900/month depending on competition level and number of neighborhoods targeted. Our packages start at $2,800/month for specialty contractors.
Can we rank for 'general contractor San Francisco' or are those terms too competitive?
Generic terms are highly competitive. The real opportunity is neighborhood + project-type targeting: 'commercial construction SoMa', 'seismic retrofit Castro', 'tech campus fit-out Financial District'. These convert 4.2x higher and have less competition.
How long before we see qualified bid inquiries from SEO?
Most San Francisco construction clients see first incremental bids within 70–100 days. Meaningful volume (15+ qualified bids/month) takes 9–12 months.
Do you work with general contractors, specialty firms, or both?
Both — and the strategy differs significantly. General contractors need neighborhood coverage; specialty firms (seismic, electrical, HVAC) need project-type coverage plus neighborhoods.
How important is a Google Business Profile for construction SEO?
Critical. Contractors in the local pack top 3 average 4.2x more bid inquiries than those ranked organically only. 93% of Bay Area project managers check GBP first.
