Construction & Trades

AI SEO and automation for contractors and trades, from a guy who ran the crews.

Homeowners and general contractors ask ChatGPT who to hire now. Most contractor websites give AI nothing to work with: no real service pages, no city pages, no answers to the questions people actually ask. I build that out so you show up when the work gets handed out.

I started in insulation and asbestos removal in 1988 and was VP of an environmental construction company at 23, running up to 80 guys across nuclear plants and big industrial jobs. I still run the website and SEO for my family's insulation company today.

Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team.
