For general contractors

Marketing for general contractors built for the months-long sales cycle.

GC marketing is a long game. The lead you capture today signs in November. The portfolio you build in Q1 closes a $300k addition in Q4. We architect the system that makes that long arc work — nurture sequences, project portfolio, qualification at the form level, retargeting on Meta.

Built for residential + commercial GCs. Project portfolio architecture. 8-14 month nurture sequences. Qualified-lead intake.

Lead Generation × General Contractors

Forms, missed-call text-back, AI receptionist, and tracked attribution end-to-end.

Why this combination matters

General contractor marketing operates on a fundamentally longer cycle than trade marketing. A homeowner researching a kitchen remodel takes 4-9 months from first Google search to signed contract. A whole-home addition can take 9-18 months. Without nurture infrastructure (email sequences, retargeting, content that gets shared with spouse and contractor friend during deliberation), most leads simply disappear into the void and re-emerge having signed with a competitor. The GCs who close consistently run multi-month nurture: educational content about the remodel process, cost guides for the specific service line, project portfolio with before/after and budget ranges, retargeting on Meta during the active research phase. Lead qualification at the form level matters more than for trades because tire-kicker leads consume sales-team time without converting. Budget range, timeline, scope, and ZIP code captured upfront screen out the prospects who will never sign. Commercial GC work runs a separate funnel with RFP-driven sales cycles. The residential and commercial funnels rarely share infrastructure beyond the agency relationship.

The pattern

If you are running a general contractors business, you have hit one of these.

Long sales cycles, leaky funnels

A homeowner researches a kitchen remodel for 4-9 months before signing. Without a nurture sequence (email, retargeting, content), most leads disappear into the void. You only see the ones who actively re-surface — which is a fraction of the funnel.

Bad-fit leads burn time and money

Tire-kickers asking for $200,000 remodels with $50,000 budgets. Without qualification at the lead-form level, your sales process spends weeks on prospects who will never sign. Better filtering = better margins.

No portfolio architecture

Most GC sites have a generic "gallery" of 30 photos with no story. A real portfolio architecture (project pages with before/after, scope, timeline, budget range, client quote) builds the credibility that closes high-ticket work.

What we ship

Lead Generation for general contractors — six deliverables, one outcome.

Conversion-built forms

Every form on your site is built around one specific buyer-intent moment. Not "Contact Us" — "Get a free estimate," "Book a tune-up," "Request a market valuation."

Missed-call text-back

When a lead calls and you cannot pick up, an SMS goes out in 30 seconds: "Hey, I missed your call — what can I help with?" Books 30-50% of would-be lost leads.

AI receptionist

24/7 phone + chat answering. Triages emergency vs. routine, qualifies the lead, books to your calendar. Escalates real emergencies to your phone immediately.

Attribution tracking

Every lead has a complete chain: which channel, which campaign, which page, which CTA. You see exactly which dollars produce which booked jobs.

CRM integration

Every lead lands in GHL with full context — page they came from, query they searched, campaign they clicked. Your follow-up is informed.

Live revenue dashboard

Not a quarterly PDF. A real-time view: leads in, contacts made, bookings landed, jobs closed, revenue produced — sourced back to channel.

The math

Run the numbers on your specific business.

Worked example — typical residential GC at Growth tier

Avg project value

$85,000

Net new projects / yr (target)

+4

GC margin (industry)

~22%

Annual retainer

$23,964

+4 projects × $85,000 × 22% margin ≈ $74,800/yr of net new gross profit. 3.1× return on the annual Growth retainer at conservative assumptions. One incremental whole-home or commercial buildout pays for years of retainer.

Conservative model. Numbers above are illustrative and not a guarantee — GC project mix and margins vary widely. We do this same math for your business in your free strategy call.

FAQ

Common questions about lead generation for general contractors.

How do you handle the months-long sales cycle?

Email + SMS nurture sequences (not just lead capture and hope) keep your name in front of the homeowner during their research phase. Retargeting on Meta keeps you visible. Content (cost guides, decision-tree articles, project breakdowns) gets shared as they involve their spouse, contractor friend, etc. The funnel is long; the nurture has to match.

How do you qualify leads before they reach me?

Lead form asks for project scope (specific service line), budget range (drop-down), timeline (drop-down), and ZIP code. Tire-kickers screen themselves out at the form. The leads that come through are pre-qualified for budget + intent before you ever read them.

What about commercial GC work?

Commercial buildouts have a different funnel — RFP-driven, longer cycles, B2B social proof matters more. We build dedicated commercial pages and a separate intake flow. Many residential GCs add commercial as a 20-30% revenue line over time; the marketing supports that expansion.
