Why most contractor marketing falls short
If you’ve been burned by an agency before, it usually comes down to one of these three gaps.

Generic agencies
Most agencies run the same playbook for every industry. They don’t understand trade-specific keywords, seasonal demand, or how homeowners actually search for HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work in your area.

Invisible in AI search
Homeowners increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations. Most contractors have zero GEO/AEO strategy, so they never get named. Traditional SEO alone no longer covers it.

No attribution to jobs
You’re paying for clicks, impressions, and vanity metrics — not booked work. Without lead attribution tied to your call tracking and CRM, you can’t tell which marketing dollars actually produced revenue.
What makes TradeWorks different
We don’t market for everyone. We market for the trades — and we build the work around how homeowners actually hire.
Trade-only focus
Every campaign built around how homeowners search and hire for your trade.
AI-enhanced
AI research and drafting at every step, with human editorial on top.
Booked jobs
Measured in calls and booked work, not impressions.
One per market
One client per trade per market — we never work against you.
À la carte
Pick only what you need. No bundles. Cancel anytime.
Your growth engine
Each service does one job in the funnel. The AI layer runs through all of them — and an AI answering agent catches every lead at the bottom, so the work you pay for never goes to voicemail.

Answers within seconds, 24/7. Qualifies against your service area and budget, then books straight into your calendar.
Every service, priced individually

The highest-ROI paid channel for contractors
Local Services Ads sit at the very top of Google — above the map pack and regular ads — and you pay per qualified lead, not per click. We manage the whole thing, end to end, for your own Google Guaranteed badge.
Google verifies you
We manage the background check, license, and insurance verification to earn your Google Guaranteed badge — a one-time process, start to finish.
Homeowners see you first
Your ad appears at the top of search with your badge, rating, and a tap-to-call button — above everything else.
You pay per lead
Charged only when a homeowner actually contacts you. Non-qualified leads can be disputed for a refund — and we dispute them for you.
- Dynamic, AI-informed bid management by time of day, lead quality, and seasonal demand.
- Every non-qualified lead disputed automatically to protect your budget.
- LSA wired to your AI answering agent so every lead is answered and booked — never sent to voicemail.
Illustrative example only — not a guarantee. Actual results vary by trade, market, competition, and close rate. LSA leads are billed separately by Google.
SEO, GEO & AEO — all three, as standard
Search is splitting into three layers. Most agencies still only do the first one. We cover all three so every channel can find you.
SEO — Search Engine Optimization
The foundation: rank in Google’s map pack and organic results for “AC repair near me” and similar high-intent searches.
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Get cited and recommended inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — the fastest-growing way homeowners find contractors.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Structure content so AI engines present your business as the direct answer to “Who repairs ACs same-day near me?”

When search shifts to AI, businesses without a GEO/AEO strategy simply stop appearing. We make sure your business is named across all three layers.
