DIGITAL MARKETING FOR SUBCONTRACTORS
We help electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, and specialty subcontractors attract qualified project leads and general contractor relationships through SEO, Google Ads, and content built around how work gets sourced.
We understand how subcontractors win work – the difference between a homeowner shopping around and a general contractor ready to add you to their bid list.
CLIENT ACQUISITION FRAMEWORK
Our subcontractor marketing framework is built around two lead sources at once: direct property owner searches and general contractors sourcing new subs. Every step is optimized for both.
AUTHORITY BUILDING
We publish project photos, licensing and certification content, and trade-specific guides that answer real customer questions and position your company as the trusted local specialist.
SEARCH VISIBILITY
Your website is positioned around high-intent searches like “electrician near me” or “framing subcontractor” alongside GC-facing terms. Local citations keep you visible where work gets sourced.
LEAD GENERATION
Google Ads campaigns target people actively hiring for your trade right now. Strategic keyword targeting keeps cost per lead low and lead quality high.
CLIENT NURTURE
Email and retargeting campaigns keep your company top of mind with past clients and GC contacts, sharing project photos and availability updates that generate repeat work.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Most subs rely entirely on being on the right bid lists and word-of-mouth. That’s a ceiling on growth, not a strategy. Digital marketing creates a second, scalable channel, including direct-to-homeowner work.
78% of property owners search Google before hiring a trade directly. If your company doesn’t appear on page one, you’re losing higher-margin direct work to competitors who do.
To someone comparing trades, most subcontractor websites look the same or don’t exist at all. Without project photos and credentials on display, you compete on price alone.
BUSINESS GROWTH
We build visibility for both direct-to-consumer searches and the GC relationships that keep your bid list full, so your pipeline isn’t dependent on any single source.
We scale Google Ads around your trade’s busy season while maintaining year-round SEO that generates inquiries even in slower months.
Project photos, licensing displays, and trade-specific content that Google rewards with rankings and customers and GCs reward with trust.

FAQ

We work with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, roofing, and other specialty subcontractors. Each gets a strategy built around their specific trade and how customers search for that work.
Google Ads delivers inquiries within days. SEO takes longer, expect meaningful rank improvements in 3-6 months and full momentum in 6-12 months. Most subcontractor clients see a 50-100% increase in qualified inquiries within six months.
Yes, that’s one of the biggest advantages. SEO and Google Ads build the direct-to-consumer visibility that most subs never invest in, opening up higher-margin work outside the bid-list cycle.
