We’ve made over $250 million in revenue for the companies that we’ve worked with,

in some of the hardest industries in the world, from healthcare, finance, education and technology. When we saw JUST HOW EASY home services were to dominate, based on our previous experience, we made IMPACTS that were unimaginable and will continue to pave the way to making our home service clients more money than they could have ever imagined.

In home services, no one cares where their webpage ranks on Google, if their Google Business Profile is optimized, or is written on their site.

All home service business owners only care about one thing: revenue.

What that means is you don’t need a typical marketer working with your organization; you need a growth partner who is focused on revenue.

That is us.

After working for a landscaper who was stuck at $30,000 a month, on the first month we ran ads, we landed these two deals on the 4th day of the month:

$40,000 job with $10,000 net profit.

$11,000 job with $10,000 net profit.

That was on a blended ad spend of $875.

That’s a 58 times return on ad spend. But if you want to count only the net return, that’s still a 22 times return on ad spend!

An electrician we work with struggled to get past $15,000 a month in revenue. He was spending thousands upon thousands of dollars each month on advertising. We restructured his website, put what needed the most attention where it needed to go, and then on month 3, we doubled his revenue to $30,000.

The first month he hired someone new, we hit $50,000.

Then, in just two days, he did $16,000. We did what he used to do in a month, in just two days!

For a general contractor, we filled up his entire calendar with leads who were interested in $300,000+ jobs.

These are just a few examples of the impact we have made in home services, just from a revenue standpoint.

We’ve also been able to get their Google Business Profile to appear in the top 3 across multiple search terms in 30 mile radiuses.

We’ve got pages on the first page of Google countless times for their priority money making services.

We get people filling out forms to book appointments.

And we get people calling the phones all the time wanting the work that our home service clients offer.

Most home service companies work in a local area, but we’ve been trained to rank nationally.

We’ve had pages rank nationally and internationally on the first page of Google, with some pages being read as much as 162,000 times a year.

One case study we built was read 9.5 million times.

A video we put online got over 1 million views.

A brand new website that was only getting 102 visitors a month ended up with 1.05 million organic search engine clicks from Google in 15 months, and over 2 million within the next 15 months.

For a healthcare company, we made 18 out of the top 25 most visited pages on the entire site.

We’ve landed people in the media, from TIME, Sporting News, Quartz, Inc. Magazine, Forbes, International Business Times, MEdical Daily, Huffington Post, Apple News and more, over 150 times.

We’ve used ancillary websites to bring 2 million additional reads to content we’ve made.

We’ve taken a website from 90,000 pageviews a month to over 550,000.

We’ve marketed courses that made $3 million a year.

These results speak for themselves and we can make the same impact for you that we did for this academic medical center, no matter the size of your medical practice.

We know what we’re doing and we know exactly how to take your home service company to the next level, and we will ride or die with you every step of the way.

We will drive revenue to you and make sure you get the exact results you are looking for from a home services marketing firm.

Do you want to know why?

We don’t operate as a home services marketing agency. We operate as your business partner.

We work side by side to ensure that your business continues to grow each month.

This is not your typical client and vendor relationship. We become business partners in this matter.

Does that sound like what you’re looking for?

If so, it’s time to dominate your local area. Schedule a free growth review now!

Result

Ranking on the first page of Google in Local Search in a 30 mile radius for high intent keywords, like emergency electrician

If you look at a typical local SEO agency's map pack results, they will show you a 5 mile radius from one end to the other, where they show up on the first page of Google.

WE KNOW HOW TO SHOW UP IN THE FIRST PAGE OF THE GOOGLE LOCAL MAP PACK ON AS LARGE AS A 30 MILE RADIUS!

If you take the directions from Mukilteo, in the image, and go down to in between Cottage Lake and Duvall, Google Maps will indicate that the distance between both locations is a 25 to 29 mile drive, depending on which route you take.

No other Local SEO agency shows first page map pack results like this!

Our Chief Marketing Officer at Skilled Trades Marketing Is a Home Service Marketing Rockstar

Leonard Kim has driven $250 million in revenue to businesses.

Leonard was raised by his grandfather, Robert L. Landis, an all American hero who fought in 4 wars, including WW2, the Korean War and the Vietnam war. Robert served as a mortar man and then became a military police officer in the United States Air Force. After retiring from the Air Force, Leonard’s grandfather worked at Armco, which became AK Steel, and is now Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. They were once the largest steel manufacturer in the world.

During childhood, Leonard would go with his grandfather to watch him do his woodworking, go under the Chevy Astro Van to watch him change the oil and mow the yard together. Leonard became passionate about all of the various things his grandfather did to keep busy and continually improve the home they all lived in. They took fishing trips together and he was so prideful to see how much his grandfather volunteered at school in all the ways that he could.

After seeing how amazing the results of his own marketing have been, in the near future, Leonard is starting up two home service companies in Southern California and has already secured partners for these ventures:

1. A landscaping/hardscaping company.

2. A general contracting company.

Leonard is an internationally recognized top digital marketer who has been recognized by Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc. Magazine, Brand24, MadCon, BuzzSumo and more as a top 100 digital marketer in his space (with some outlets ranking him in the top 10).

He has spoken at Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business, Pasadena Design Center, University of California, Irvine, Cal Poly Pomona, TEDx, Salesforce, The Cult Gathering, multiple marketing conferences, and at castles and palaces across the world.

He’s the coauthor of Ditch the Act: Reveal the Surprising Power of the Real You for Greater Success with McGraw-Hill Business and is releasing a book in the future on getting back up after you’ve fallen.

Leonard Kim has over 300 media features in CMO, AdWeek, Fast Company, Fortune, TIME, Business Insider, Los Angeles Times, Medical Daily, Success Magazine, Fox News, CNBC, Newsweek, Comsopolitan and more.

His content has been read over 16 million times and he’s been published in books and magazines, such as Take the Leap: Change Your Career, Change Your Life by Sara Bliss, Cracking the Curiosity Code: The Key to Unlocking Human Potential by Dr. Diane Hamilton and more.

He has also appeared on TV on NewsMax and had a regular presence as a judge on a TV show on Zee TV.

Leonard’s TEDx talk is internationally recognized by Forbes, Mashable, Inc. Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine and more as a top 10 TEDx talk on fear.

Leonard is an enterprise trained revenue-driven focused marketer who follows a relentless marketing process he utilizes in increasing client demand and ranking businesses on the first page of Google for the search terms that actually MATTER.

He leads a team of specialists who operate through every single step of the marketing process to ensure that every single piece of the marketing puzzle is made to the utmost highest level of quality.

He is the go-to expert to do marketing for and grow your home services company, no matter the size.

Why We Adhere to Detail-Oriented Thoroughness Over Speed Through an Enterprise Grade Home Services Marketing Workflow at Skilled Trades Marketing

Most home services marketing agencies move fast and figure it out later. We do the opposite. Every step in our enterprise level home services process and workflow exists for a reason, and each one builds directly on the one before it.

We don't write content before we know what your ideal homeowners are searching for.

We don't launch ads before your team has reviewed and approved every word.

We don't publish a page before the schema is built and QA is done.

This isn't slowness — it's precision, precision in the same way a mason builds a structure that lasts through the test of time.

While rushed marketing produces generic results that puts a home service company’s financial liquidity in jeopardy, it is just like how skimping on the foundation in a home could put it into critical danger of collapsing.

A home service company that skips the research ends up ranking for the wrong terms, spending marketing dollars on the wrong homeowners, and communicating the wrong message.

We take the time upfront to get everything right so that everything we put into the market for the homeowners you want to work with and potential clients actually works. Every item below is a critical step we take in our enterprise grade workflow, in order, where each piece of content moves through the steps taken to ensure that your home services company gets quality content that drives homeowners to your business and your clients get quality content that drives them to want to book your entire calendar.

Prioritize by highest to lowest earning or most to least frequent visits.

The Private Equity Takeover and How To Compete

Private equity may feel like the biggest threat to your business. These companies come in, buy the oldest businesses in your area, spend advertising budgets you can never even dream of deploying and lower prices to win over deals. Not to mention, over 3,100 individual skilled trades businesses, just like yours, were overtaken by private equity. If distributed evenly, that’s at least 62 MAJOR competitors with UNLIMITED BUDGETS in just your state alone!

When seeing that, you may feel as if your business has no hope. Not to mention…

HOW DO YOU COMPETE WITH A COMPANY THAT HAS AN UNLIMITED BUDGET?

A COMPANY THAT IS ABLE TO DROP THEIR PRICES WAY BELOW YOURS?

Well, it’s simple.

Private equity adopts the spray and pray approach.

They overspend their budgets.

They drop prices on the whim.

They do not refine their offers.

They do not know how to dominate SEO.

And they do not know what to do if they stop spending.

Not to mention, they are beholden to their investors and they have to push for an 8 percent return, whereas your business has flexibility and doesn’t have an investor that they are bound to.

And they cannot expand services outside of scope, because corporate won’t allow them to do anything outside of their existing offerings as well.

That opens up an opportunity for you that you may never have seen before. But only if you work with a skilled team who has a deep understanding of just how the landscape of the internet and advertising works.

Anyone can go behind a digital ads manager, spend money and get clients. My mom who barely speaks English could probably do that, if the budget didn’t matter.

What they do not know how to do is:

Tell a story that makes you a trusted local business.

Position you as an expert.

Lay out your core service offerings.

Expand into sub offerings that private equity can’t even touch.

Get on the first page of Google.

Strategically spend money to get a higher return on ad spend.

Appear in AI search.

And continually optimize the client acquisition model so that your company is able to scale.

But guess who does know exactly how to do that?

Someone who has worked at extremely large institutions, was given next to no marketing budget to work with, and had to pave their way out from scratch to get ahead of the largest competitors in their area.

If I could take on the UCLAs and the SmartAssets of the world, who are funded by billions upon billions of dollars, while I was funded with a marketing budget of only $0 to $50,000 a year and start taking their marketshare away from them…

What do you think I can do when you go head to head with private equity?

Our team is equipped with absolutely everything that David was when he took on Goliath.

And we know exactly how to take Goliath, or in this case, private equity down, so you come out ahead.

So if you’re sitting here thinking about how to even compete with private equity, don’t worry.

We got your back and we’ll help your business win in the most competitive landscape that the skilled trades have ever seen.

Read the following sections closely to get a deep understanding of exactly how we will make that happen.

Positioning: We need to make you relatable.

America HATES private equity. They love the small mom and pop family owned business. They want to help the little guy. They’re tired of seeing private equity ruin industry after industry, from fast food to chain restaurants, department stores and more. We all know private equity is where industries go to die, and we want to cheer for the independently owned and operated business. That’s why we need to position you as the local leader in your community.

Tone of Voice: Building around your personality.

It’s common knowledge that private equity can be seen as being cold, arrogant, or just trying to destroy the little guy. Those feelings that people have do not change when they read or watch content on a website or through a video that do not address those perceived traits that negatively impact how a homeowner sees a private equity owned business. To create a dynamic relationship before a homeowner even calls you, we incorporate elements from your personality into the marketing material we create, whether it is a level of excitement, passion, thoroughness for work, or another trait that makes you unique to every other home service company out there in your service area.

SEO: We have to make you visible and easy to be found.

That means we need to cover every single service that you offer, and ensure that this shows up in Google and search engine search results through search engine optimization to get your expertise in front of your ideal homeowners. This works because it gets you in front of the homeowners who need your specific services and they can learn more about the services you offer for their home expansion plans, repairs and more.

Local SEO: Grow your visibility locally.

In order to do this, what we need to do is when someone types in your specific specialty, or expertise, for example, landscaper or emergency electrician, you appear in the map pack on Google in the first 3 results in your hyper-localized area. This way, you are easily found and more homeowners start booking with you based on a quick Google search.

AI Search: Appear in AI search results.

Some homeowners are moving away from the traditional search methods to finding a professional in the skilled trades and moving into searching for their physicians through AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and others. By appearing in AI search results, you will earn the opportunity to earn the business of homeowners who are asking AI what home service providers they recommend who provide your expertise.

Digital Advertising: Drive more booked jobs to your business.

In addition to getting more phone calls and appointments online, we would want to expand upon that through digital advertising. This will allow us to narrow down the exact homeowners who are looking for the solutions that you offer in your service area, allowing them to book appointments to get your services provided at their home.

Conversion Rate Optimization: Increase web visits to booked jobs.

We track your metrics to see how many people book appointments, then make adjustments to the active pages and ads to increase client volume even further by increasing the conversion rates of web visitors to phone calls and appointment requests on the website, allowing you to see more homeowners and book more jobs.

Public Relations: Building authority as the go-to expert.

As you expand and grow your home service business, you will want to establish authority in your space. You can do this by building out a public relations campaign to appear in both locally recognized news outlets and nationally recognized magazines. This helps build authority and showcases that you truly are the expert in your field.

Ask For Your Growth Review

What makes your home service marketing agency different from other home service marketing agencies?

We specialize exclusively in home service marketing. Our founder has been named a top marketer by Inc. Magazine, Forbes, and Entrepreneur, has a marketing book published by McGraw-Hill Business, and has taught MBA marketing programs and guest lectured at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and other universities. Our team has generated over $250 million in revenue in revenue, grown websites from 102 monthly visitors to over 1 million in 15 months, achieved return on ad spend as high as 100x, and increased AI search visibility from near zero to 30 percent for competitive markets. We bring enterprise-level marketing expertise to home service marketing companies that typically only see generalist agencies that rush their work and don't deliver actual results.

Can you guarantee first-page Google rankings for my home service business?

We follow a strict, thorough, and in-depth SEO methodology specifically designed to pursue page one rankings across your most valuable search terms. That methodology has produced results like taking a site from a global rank of 6.4 million to 540,000 and a domestic rank from 3 million to 150,000 in nine months. However, because search rankings involve factors outside any home service marketing agency's direct control, we cannot guarantee page one placement for every individual search term.

What does success look like and how do you measure home service marketing performance?

Success is defined at the start of every engagement around your specific goals — new homeowner volume, appointment requests, local search rankings, or market visibility. We have grown websites from 90,000 to 450,000 monthly pageviews, taken practices from 102 monthly visitors to over 1 million in 15 months, and built landing pages converting at 13 percent. Every engagement is measured against the benchmarks that matter to your home service business.

What size home service companies do you work with?

We work with solo operators to large brands across a wide range of specialties. Whether you are a new skilled trade business building visibility from the ground up or an established home service business expanding into new markets, our home service marketing programs are designed to scale with your goals and budget.

How involved does the business owner need to be?

We are built for busy home service business owner. We handle strategy, execution, and performance. Your involvement is typically limited to an initial strategy session, handover of access to digital technology, providing previous work done in the form of photos and videos, and periodic check-ins.

Do your home service marketing strategies work in highly competitive metro markets?

Yes. Our strategies are built for competitive urban and suburban markets where large private equity players dominate search results. We have grown AI search visibility from near zero to 30 percent in competitive categories, achieved 100x return on ad spend, and secured dominant local map pack visibility across wide geographic areas. Home service businesses can compete effectively — and win — in major markets with the right strategy.

How is your home service marketing approach different for a new business versus an established one?

The core methodology of our home service marketing is the same regardless of business size or stage. What changes is the starting point and the sequence of priorities. A newer home service business builds visibility and trust from the ground up. An established home service business typically focuses on expanding into new service lines, capturing more of the local market, or growing AI and organic search share. The strategy is tailored to where you are — the standard of execution is not.

Can you work with small budgets?

We work out a compensation plan that aligns with your budget, whether you are just started out or have an established home service business that is making millions in revenue. We always figure out creative win-win solutions that ensure that you can get to market, generate results and get more booked jobs.
