How much does SEO for construction companies cost?
Our Local package starts from £399 + VAT a month on a rolling monthly contract, with AI search and monthly AI visibility tracking included. If you work across several regions or the whole UK, the National package is quoted after the free audit. Google Ads management starts from £200 + VAT a month if you also want paid search.
How long does construction SEO take to work?
SEO is slower than ads: usually three to six months for rankings to move, and up to a year for leads to follow. C Kearney Roofing started from a brand-new website with no search visibility at all, so a new site isn’t a reason to wait.
What makes SEO for construction companies different?
SEO for construction companies is aimed at buyers who take their time. Developers, facilities managers and main contractors search by trade, sector and region, then check your projects, accreditations and reviews before they ask for a price. Your SEO strategy needs pages that answer those checks, and we measure enquiries for the work you want.
What keywords should a construction company target?
The best keywords pair a service with a place, like “groundworks contractor Birmingham”, “commercial refurbishment contractor Manchester” or “M&E subcontractor Yorkshire”. People typing searches like these are usually planning real work. Broad terms like “construction company” also attract job seekers and students, so we start with the services and areas that bring you profitable projects.
Can SEO help us win commercial construction and subcontract work?
SEO can help you get onto the shortlist. Buyers looking for a contractor or subcontractor often search for the trade and region, then check your website for past projects, sectors and accreditations. Clear service pages, project write-ups and consistent business details make you easier to find and easier to trust. Winning the job still comes down to your price and track record.
Do you offer construction digital marketing beyond SEO?
Yes. Alongside SEO, we run paid ads: Google Ads from £200 + VAT a month as a flat fee, with your ad spend paid straight to Google, and Facebook and Instagram ads from £250 + VAT a month. We also build websites from £999 + VAT. Most construction firms don’t need every channel, so we’ll tell you which ones are worth paying for.
Can my construction company appear in ChatGPT recommendations?
It can. AI tools build their answers from your website, Google profile, reviews and the directories you’re listed in. When those all say the same things about your services, areas and accreditations, you’re easier to recommend. AI search is included in every SEO package, and we re-run your customers’ questions every month to check whether you’re named.
Can you work on my existing website?
Yes. Most construction companies already have a website, and we usually start there: fixing the technical issues, improving your service pages and website content, adding project write-ups and recommending ways to make it easier to ask for a quote. If a rebuild would cost less than patching an old site, we’ll tell you.
Am I tied into a contract?
No. All of our services run on rolling monthly contracts, so if you’re not happy, you can leave. Your website, Google Business Profile, accounts and data stay yours, and your tracking history goes with you.
Is the growth audit really free?
Yes. It’s reviewed manually, so it isn’t an automated scan, and you get your growth action plan within 48 hours covering your site, your competitors and what AI tools say about you. There’s no obligation to work with us afterwards. Request your free growth audit.
