Home Services SEO.
The category hub for every trade a homeowner Googles at 11pm on a Sunday.
Home services is a category, not a business — and Google treats it that way. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing each have their own search behaviour, seasonality, and buyer panic profile. We run a shared local-search backbone across them (GBP, LSA, review flywheel, click-to-call) and layer trade-specific playbooks on top. Start here for the overview; drill into the child pages for the trade-specific plan.
What you get
- ✓One shared local-search engine across every trade you run
- ✓Local Services Ads (LSA) setup and green-checkmark verification
- ✓Review flywheel wired to your dispatch/CRM (ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro)
- ✓Emergency-intent landing pages tuned to click-to-call
- ✓Neighbourhood service-area pages that pass Google's spam filters
Home services search is an emergency search
Homeowners don't research HVAC or plumbing — they panic-Google at the moment something breaks. Top-three map-pack, LSA green checkmark, and a phone number above the fold decide most calls in the first 90 seconds.
One shared backbone, four playbooks
Whether you run one trade or four, the local SEO fundamentals are shared: GBP, reviews, LSA, call tracking. Drill into HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, or Roofing for the trade-specific overlays.
Reputation is the whole moat
In a category where a competitor is one map-pack pin away, review velocity and average rating are the moat. We build the request cadence and the response workflow into your existing dispatch software.
The map-pack + review-velocity + neighbourhood-pages playbook that grew Dirty Pawz from one Toronto location to two is the same one we run for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical brands scaling from one truck to a fleet.
