But that's what stock photos of pipes and a "get a quote" form do. The homeowner comparing three quotes can't see your work or your process, so they compare the only thing left: the number.
General contractors, remodelers, builders, and specialty trades.
Yours is the middle one. They'll pick it if the site shows them why the cheap one is going to cost more.
Checking whether you've done work at this level and whether you'll make them look good. Finished photos aren't enough; they want to see the process.
Needs to know in 10 seconds that you handle it, you're legit, you're licensed, and there's a number to call. Everything else is in the way.
Stock photos of tools tell them you didn't have any of your own. Your projects, your crew, your job sites, even the messy middle of them.
How the estimate works and who they'll talk to once the job starts. Trades with the best reputations lose bids to crews who explained the process, and the site is where that explaining does its job.
If the site says you do everything, you'll get calls for everything, and most of them are the jobs you turned down last year.
A Nashville general contractor with 20 years of trade relationships and a site that only showed finished rooms. Rebuilt around the process behind the work. Their third site with us in 10 years.
Read the case study →Ochoa Co. has come back for three websites over 10+ years, and calls for updates every year in between. That's the review.
If yours isn’t here, bring it to the call.
Phone photos of real work beat stock photos of pipes every time. (Yes, even the ones from the truck.) We'll tell you what to shoot and how, and if it's worth hiring a photographer, we'll say so.
Yes. The form asks the 3 questions that tell you whether it's a real job, and the site sets the budget expectation before they fill it in. You get fewer requests, and the ones you get are real jobs.
A trades site with service pages and a real estimate form usually lands at 5 to 8 pages, so $3,500 to $5,500 covers most. A portfolio-heavy build with a page per project runs into the $6,500 to $15,000 range.
For your trade in your service area, yes, if the site is built for it: one page per service and the local details search engines look for. That's built in.
Yes. Ochoa Co. is in Nashville and on their third site with us. Most of the work happens on video calls anyway.
A free 30-minute call, with nothing to prepare.
