Contracting
Example business: a general contractor with 5 crews based in Dallas, serving the wider Dallas area and focused on home additions and whole-home remodels. Businesses like this often get many inquiries through Angi and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive estimate requests, a lower cost per project and a pipeline the owner controls.
The challenge
Where a business like this gets stuck
- General contractors compete with marketplaces and handymen for the same searches, which attracts small, low-value jobs.
- Big projects come from trust and reputation, which are hard to convey online.
- Pipeline gaps between large jobs create cash-flow pressure.
- Peak season (planning and design inquiries peak in late winter and spring, ahead of the main building season) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.
The approach
Three services, one goal
This example focuses on Website Development, SEO and Lead Generation Program, three channels that can suit general contracting businesses in Dallas. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
What the work could include
The technical work, service by service.
Service 1
Website Development
- Design and build a new website on a fast, lightweight stack, replacing an outdated template site.
- Structure the site around services, locations and projects, with a filterable project gallery.
- Aim for a strong mobile Lighthouse score with compressed images and no page builder bloat.
- Set up redirects for every old URL to protect rankings in the move, and connect GA4, Search Console and call tracking.
Service 2
SEO
- Technical audit and fixes covering crawl errors, mobile Largest Contentful Paint and indexing.
- Build dedicated service pages for high-value work such as home additions and whole-home remodels, each targeting one search intent.
- Add LocalBusiness, Service and FAQPage schema and rebuild internal linking between services, locations and guides.
- Earn links from local news, suppliers, associations and community sites instead of low-quality link packages.
Service 3
Lead Generation Program
- Add the business to the exclusive lead generation program: one contractor per service area, so leads are never shared or resold.
- Launch dedicated lead capture pages and campaigns for home additions and whole-home remodels across service areas in the wider Dallas region.
- Qualify every lead by job type, location, budget and timeframe before delivery, with instant delivery by SMS and email.
- Replace paid lead credits on Angi with a fixed monthly program and weekly reports on cost per lead and booked jobs.
