The homeowner who can't find you online is calling someone else right now.
Every TradeSite Forge website includes local SEO foundations. Our monthly program keeps that foundation healthy, active, and improving — so you get found in more cities, more often.
Your website converts the traffic you already get. Local SEO gets more of the right homeowners to find you in the first place. Confusing the two is why most contractors pay for SEO that doesn't move the needle.
When a pipe bursts, homeowners don't browse. They search Google Maps and call one of the first three names. That's the game.
We build the foundation into every site once. The monthly program keeps it healthy, active, and improving — month after month. Shops that stay consistent pull ahead.
INCLUDED WITH EVERY WEBSITE
Local SEO Foundations — Built In, No Monthly Fee
Before we design a page, the technical groundwork is done. Every site gets this, regardless of tier.
Site speed under 2.5 seconds
Image compression, lazy loading, clean code. No page builders. Homeowners on their phone won't wait.
Mobile-first design
Tap-to-call on every page, buttons over 44px, responsive layout. 70%+ of your customers find you on mobile.
Schema markup that tells Google who you are
LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema in JSON-LD. So Google knows exactly what you do and where.
On-page basics done right
Title tags, meta descriptions, H1-H3 structure, alt text — all built for your primary service and city.
Clean technical setup
XML sitemap, robots.txt, clean URLs. Submitted to Google Search Console on day one.
Google Business Profile setup
Categories, services, photos, business details — handled at launch.
Call tracking configured
GA4, call tracking numbers, form tracking. You'll know which pages drive inquiries, not just traffic.
HOW SEARCH IS CHANGING
Built so Google and AI search can understand your business
Homeowners don't just type anymore. They ask: "Hey Google, find an AC repair near me that's open now." Or they read the AI answer at the top of Google before clicking anything.
So we structure your site so Google and AI search systems can clearly understand your services, expertise, and service area — FAQ content written the way homeowners talk, clean business data, and markup machines can read.
While competitors sell 2015 keyword blogs, you're getting found where search is actually going.
HOW WE WORK
Straight talk on what you can expect
No annual contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.
You own everything. Website, Google profile, content — it's yours.
One clear update per month. Three numbers: your Maps ranking, calls from the site, keyword movement. No 20-page PDFs. No junior account managers.
No ranking guarantees. Anyone promising #1 is lying. We control consistent, quality work. That's what compounds.
