what the heck is SEO, and why you should care
SEO is a frequently mentioned, and often misunderstood, component of digital marketing. In summary, SEO is the collection of strategies to increase your business’s visibility in organic search engine results. (Organic = not paid)
When executed correctly your website and maps profiles (most notably, Google My Business) will hold prominent placements on the 1st page of Google for high volume, “commercial intent” keywords.
Example keyword phrases you should show up for:
- handyman near me
- handyman services in *city*
- *city* handyman
These prominent placements will consistently bring website traffic, leads, and phone calls to your business. Organic leads are lucrative because you don’t pay for them (aside from your operating costs, of course). An organic lead is significantly cheaper than a lead attained through advertising – whether it be Google, Facebook, or Yelp, to name a few.
You can see why a solid SEO strategy is a MUST for long-term success in your market.

frequently asked questions about handyman SEO
Does my website host matter for SEO and ranking in Google?
Yes – site speed and security are an ever-increasing ranking factor in Google’s algorithm. In fact, in July 2021, they rolled out the “Page Experience” update which further prioritizes sites that provide a great user experience (fast loading and secure).
Needless to say, we take it very seriously!
Our web designs receive high marks on “Core Web Vitals” (the metrics that the Page Experience update emphasizes). In fact, they get higher marks than the biggest handyman company in the USA – Mr. Handyman. See site speed and page experience comparison below.
We specialize in outranking the competition – even the “big guys” – and can help you become the largest home improvement company in your area by implementing our handyman SEO marketing systems.

- Consistent NAP on high traffic directories and citations

Visual explanation to easily understand search engine optimization
Google has a folder of your business.
In that folder they see your website, Google My Business, Facebook, Yelp, all your online profiles, links to your website, and mentions of your business name.
The thicker that folder is, the more authority you’re communicating to Google; therefor, increasing your ranking in Google Maps and website listings.
Our handyman SEO services build authority to get you ranked on page 1, and create a consistent flow of organic leads.
What kind of results can I expect in my business if I partner with you?
We see immediate impact in Google Maps visibility upon launching an optimized website. Significant upticks in visibility, clicks, and phone calls happen within 3-4 months. See below a few real client results, and check out our case studies page for more detail.
Is SEO better than google ads?
Here’s how I like to explain SEO vs. Google Ads:
SEO is a long-term, sustainable growth strategy to bring consistent lead flow to your business.
Google Ads, for us, is essentially high-quality “leads on demand” – we pay Google for the ad space, are guaranteed clicks from our target “money keywords”, and we convert those clicks into leads.
SEO is Owning, Ads are Renting
The big difference is with Google Ads, we are “renting” the space at the top of the search engine result pages. With SEO, we are building up your digital marketing assets (namely your website and Google My Business, or Google Maps, profile) to “own” the top of the search engine result pages for our target keywords.
When you stop paying for Google Ads, you stop getting traffic and leads. With SEO, we are owning the top of the 1st page and don’t require paying Google for the space. However, for most growing companies with multiple employees and/or crews, a balanced strategy of SEO and Ads is best.
Look at any major HVAC or home service company – even though they dominate search engines with great SEO, they still pay for Google Ads. Why? 30% of clicks go to the Ads section. Successful, constantly growing companies didn’t get to where they are by leaving money off the table!
So… Is SEO better than Google Ads? Yes and no. They both serve their purpose, which is why both are part of our comprehensive marketing strategy to grow our clients’ businesses. However, for smaller handyman companies that enjoy being small or don’t require explosive growth, SEO is the best strategy for long-term, sustainable lead flow. Also, a lead from SEO is significantly cheaper than Ads – it just requires more work and time to get there.
