LOCAL CONTRACTOR

Helping a Toronto Contractor Generate Consistent Local Leads

The Challenge

The contractor relied heavily on referrals and third-party platforms (HomeStars, Yelp), which led to:

  • Inconsistent lead flow
  • High lead costs
  • Low control over customer acquisition
    Their Google Business Profile was under-optimized, and competitors were dominating local search results.

Our Strategy

We implemented a local lead-generation system focused on high-intent homeowners.

Key initiatives:

  • Google Business Profile optimization (categories, services, photos, posts)
  • Local SEO improvements:
    • Service-area pages
    • Keyword-focused on-page optimization
  • Google Search Ads targeting:
    • “Kitchen renovation Toronto”
    • “Basement finishing near me”
  • Conversion-focused landing page with call tracking

Execution Highlights

  • Built location + service-specific landing pages
  • Optimized Google Maps visibility
  • Implemented call tracking & lead attribution
  • Weekly performance monitoring and bid optimization

Projected Results (First 90 Days)

  • 30–45 qualified inbound leads/month
  • 35–45% call-to-lead conversion rate
  • Reduced dependency on third-party lead platforms
  • Clear visibility into ROI per campaign

Key Takeaway

By focusing on local intent + conversion optimization, contractors can generate predictable leads without relying on referral-only growth.
