Local SEO for Contractors
When a homeowner needs a contractor, they search, compare a few names, and call. Local SEO decides whether your business is one of those names. We make sure it is.

Quick answer
What is local SEO for contractors?
Local SEO is the work that makes a contractor show up when nearby customers search for their trade, in the Google map pack, in regular results, and in AI answers. Cadyen runs SEO and AEO together in one plan, because the same clean business facts, structured content, and schema that earn rankings are what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews read and quote.
Who is this for?
Contractors and trade businesses that live on local jobs: builders, remodelers, roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, painters, fencing, flooring, and more. If your customers search for your trade plus their city, this service is built for you.
Problems this service solves
Invisible on Google
Your competitors show up in the map pack and you don't, so they get the calls that should be yours.
Traffic but no calls
People find the site but never reach out, because the pages don't answer what local customers actually ask.
Inconsistent listings
Your name, address, and phone differ across directories, which quietly hurts rankings and trust.

Local SEO + AEO questions
How long does local SEO take for contractors?
Some improvements, like a fixed Google Business Profile, can show results in weeks. Stronger rankings usually build over two to four months and keep compounding after that.
Do I need a new website for local SEO?
Not always. If your site is solid we optimize it. If it is holding you back, we will tell you straight and can build or rebuild it as part of the plan.
Is local SEO better than Google Ads?
They work best together. Ads bring calls right away while SEO builds steady, lower-cost leads over time. Many clients run both and shift budget as SEO grows.
Is AEO included, or is it a separate cost?
It is included. AI search visibility comes with the SEO and AEO plan at $1,800 a month, and we no longer sell it on its own. The work overlaps too much to split: the structured content, consistent business facts, and schema that earn you rankings are the same things AI assistants read when they answer a question about your trade.
Do you guarantee first-place rankings?
No honest agency can guarantee rankings, and we don't. We commit to proven work, transparent reporting, and month-to-month terms, so we have to earn your business with results.
