🎯
Not an outside vendor.
Neave Growth Labs is run by a marketer who builds websites, runs local SEO, and manages ad accounts for a living.
🏠
Also an active real estate investor.
Buying, renting, and renovating property with the same contractors and agents this agency serves.
📈
Strategy from inside the business.
What actually drives calls, showings, and closed jobs — not just what looks good in a slide deck.
The problem
You do great work. Nobody can find it.
📵
Calls go unanswered.
Leads come in while you're on a roof or in a crawlspace — and by the time you call back, they've already booked someone else.
📍
Competitors outrank you.
Three other contractors show up above you on Google Maps for the exact search that should've been yours.
🐢
The website doesn't convert.
It looks fine, loads slow, and gives a visitor no real reason to call instead of bouncing to the next tab.
⏳
No time for content or reviews.
You're booked solid with jobs, not blog posts — so the reviews stall out and the site goes quiet for months.
Why this matters
80%
of home services buyers find businesses through Google Maps
If your Google Business Profile isn't optimized, you're invisible for most of the market before they even reach your website.
80%
of leads who don't hear back within 5 minutes go to a competitor
Speed to lead isn't a nice-to-have — it's the single biggest factor in whether a call becomes a booked job.

- 03

Why Most Contractor Websites Don't Convert (And How to Fix It)
It's rarely a design problem. It's usually missing calls-to-action, slow load times, and no clear path to 'call now.'
