Contractor Websites with SEO Generate Leads

Did we get your attention? Great! Because the sad fact is the VAST majority of contractors do not have a website. And, even worse, the few who do have a website don’t know how to be found by the search engines. It takes just a little time to learn what it takes to have a website found by search engines and making the appropriate adjustments.

If you are tired of having to pay a lead generation company for every lead that comes in the door even if they SOLD that lead to MANY other contractors in your area, keep reading. If you want to start generating your own leads with your own website at a MUCH lower cost, keep reading.

This is your one and only 24 hours per day, 365 days per year opportunity to get more Contractor Job Leads.

A short focused effort is all you need to better understand what everyone else is talking about. And most marketing companies do not want you to know since then they lose business when you can generate your own leads.

And perhaps you even go to various Contractor Forums to get advice, and that is OK but it doesn’t do the trick when it comes to implementing SEO Marketing to your Contractor Website. At the end of the day, no one on a forum will stay with you, step-by-step, ensuring you implement the SEO advice in a methodical way that generates leads. Too many love to post something like “Check my site out, what do you think?” in the hopes of obtaining a ton of free advice. The best analogy is asking for clothes advice and one person says get a new shirt, while another says get new socks, but neither tells you to ensure to put the shoes on last. We know, it is dry humor, but the point is just the same.

MyOnlineToolbox’s primary business is to help contractors manage their leads, track their estimates and jobs, invoice and collect their money with its award winning internet based software. We also help contractors get leads by connecting contractors to other contractors for lead sharing and bidding opportunities. But what’s inspiring us here is all the complaining, bitching and cursing that we continuously hear about the contractor lead generating companies. And yet some contractor forums are like endless loops of free advertising for these services. One guy brags he only spent $500 before he gave up, then another says he spent $1,000 and tried a second time before he gave up, and on and on. And these same people do not have their own website generating leads for a fraction of the cost? Insanity is best defined when someone does something repetitively and hoping for different results.

There are some people who have success with lead companies. But the bottom line is there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE why every contractor doesn’t have their own contractor website generating local leads. The search engine companies, whether they will admit it or not, know you will keep trying their services and complain rather than doing what is needed to generate your own leads. And it’s not that difficult.

We are almost at the point where it is smarter to have a website then invest in business cards. From what I have heard, people are going to the Internet for information, don’t you agree?

Check out this customer testimonial. A few months prior he had much less visitor activity to his website and then we checked up with him and here is what he had to say.

Hi Brian!
The SEO has definitely been working as I have been receiving leads purely Internet based. I also have noticed my site traffic is increasing every month. Business is also going well. I should be very busy during the month of October.

We have even more people talking by reviewing our Contractor Website Testimonials Only leave if you need to hear yet another person who is happy with their own website to convince you to read on.

There are three things that we wish for you to embrace and the sooner you do something TODAY the better your rewards.

• You admit there is a complete difference between Contractor Sales and Contractor Marketing. If you do not understand marketing is different than sales, then what’s the purpose of a website?
• You need to create a simple contractor website,preferably on YOUR OWN so it generates Free Contractor Leads
• You learn the basics of Contractor SEO (Search Engine Optimization)so you are in charge, forever.

For some reason contractors have no problem trying new materials and new tools, but there seems to be an intimidation factor that prevents them from realizing the huge opportunity waiting for them.

The good news is MyOnlineToolbox has made it easy for you to create your contractor website, with or without hand-holding. The better news is MyOnlineToolbox has also made it very easy for you to not just have a pretty website to show offto your office and family, but to have a website that is found by new prospects that will eventually lead to new jobs! That is all we care about for a contractor website, and one that you should care about too!

So what the heck is Contractor SEO? It stands for Search Engine Optimization. And in layman’s terms, it means “improving the visibility of a website or a webpage in a search engine’s natural search results.What does it mean when we say “natural search results”?Well we could replace it with another phrase that is commonly used and that is “organic search results”. But you are a business owner so let’s use the phrase that means the most to you, and that is “un-paid search results”. And if you aren’t listening, are tired at the moment, or jus tneed to be dragged into this… it means FREE Contractor Leads. How much are you paying for every lead from a lead generation company?

And let’s make sure we are slapping you to wake up. The word “earlier” in the above paragraph cannot be emphasized enough since the web DOES like websites that have been online longer, especially when the website is designed to be found. Or put it another way, remember when you were younger going to a party looking for a date? The author of this post always dressed nice and showed up early to make sure he could at least got rejected by everybody (adding some humor here). Your website needs to be online YESTERDAY. Your SEO simply needs to be enhanced on an ongoing basis.

The great news is you do not need to feel intimidated by any of this since there are three simple options for you, two when money to get started is a concern, and one when you are larger where money may be less of a concern.

In order to reduce intimidation you should listen to 15 Contractor Website Development & Marketing Ideas in 20 Minutes. We know you will easily understand the topics and just want to then learn how to begin doing it yourself.

There are two contractor website marketing options for you to consider. They are straight forward. You can even try both since the costs are inexpensive, especially when compared to what all the Lead Generation companies charge.

1. THE SHOTGUN APPROACH. The newest option has been over a year in the making. We worked with over a hundred consulting clients to package a new Online Class that allows a contractor to shotgun website marketing education in less than two hours. You can take the class in a straight two hours, or do a few minutes here and there over a one month period. Each segment has a very short self assessment and you also get a complete overview in video and as a handout. It will be the best few hundred bucks and short time you will spend. Get started now with our online website marketing class to get quality leads by learning the SEO basics.
2. A SLOWER APPROACH WITH MyOnlineToolbox SUPPORT. You just need educational guidance and know you can do this on your own and are willing to invest a few hundred bucks to compensate for doing the work yourself. Well guess what? The marketing guy from MyOnlineToolbox would love to teach you a subset of all his national tricks so you can master your local territory. Sure, other people can promise you this and promise you that. But how many of them have won a Forbes Most Promising Award? How many “love” to work with contractors and have been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine for Contractor Software solutions? How many are writers for Fast Company Magazine? OK, enough bragging … you get the point. This option is available by selecting Signing Up Now.
3. BOTH APPROACHES. Combine the few hundred dollars with the Shotgun Approach with the few hundred dollars with the Slower Approach.

In no time, your business can easily be found by millions of prospects that are searching the web for contractors.

The contractor lead generating companies are betting you will continue to be lazy or intimidated since the top two companies alone are generating over $300 million in lead sales to contractors this year. So do you want to get into the game, or just sit on the sidelines? How long do you want to think about it? The search engine companies are betting you will wait, and the vast majority of readers of this webpage will allow them to win that bet, but we think you will have been encouraged to make the first move. And if you are going to just complain on the forums, or stare at your inbox wondering why its not bringing new leads and the phone is quiet,perhaps you may want to buy stock in the public lead generation companies. At least you can make some money from the stock market while you’re deciding to not make money from new Contractor Jobs.

We give you multiple options to get the ball rolling:
