The problem

Where the hours went

A small contractor's marketing usually looks like this: a website somebody built years ago, a Google listing nobody updates, and ads that cost money every month without anyone knowing which calls they brought in. An agency for all of it costs more than many small companies can justify. Doing it yourself means writing posts at 10 PM after a full day on the job, so it mostly doesn't get done.

What we built

The system, step by step

What it does, in the order it does it. A person checks the result before anything leaves the office.

  1. The company website, written and built with AI from our own job notes, photos and the way we explain the work on site.

  2. A lead form that asks what we'd ask on the phone: the town, the kind of work, a photo and the best time to call.

  3. Google Business Profile posts drafted from recent job photos and the time of year, held for an OK before they go up.

  4. Search ads aimed at the services and towns we actually want to work in.

  5. Conversion tracking on form requests and phone taps, so we can see which ads and pages bring in real leads.

  6. One list of new leads showing where each one came from.

What changed

What’s different now

In plain words. No made-up percentages or “hours saved”, just what we notice day to day.

  • The website finally explains what we do in the words customers use when they search.
  • Business Profile posts go up on a schedule instead of whenever someone remembers.
  • Every lead arrives with the details needed to call back with a real answer.
  • Ad money is judged by calls and requests, not clicks.
  • Marketing takes a few minutes of review instead of an evening of writing.

The full story

How it works in practice

Before we offered this to anyone else, we did it for our own company. You can see the result at www.TheDomConstruction.com.

The website

AI did the heavy lifting on the writing and the build, but the knowledge is ours. We fed it real material: job notes, trade terms, photos and the questions customers ask when we’re standing in their driveway. It turned that into pages a homeowner or a property manager can actually read. Then someone who has done the work read every page and fixed what was off.

The lead form asks the questions we’d ask on the phone. What town. What kind of work. A photo if you have one. The best time to call. So the first call back starts with an answer, not a list of questions.

Posts, ads and tracking

A Google Business Profile that sits untouched looks like a business that closed. AI drafts posts from recent job photos and the time of year: fall repairs before the freeze, spring patching after it. Each draft waits for an OK before it goes up.

The ads are set up for the services and towns we actually want. Conversion tracking counts form requests and phone taps from the site, so we judge the ads by real requests instead of clicks. When a page or an ad brings in nothing, we can see it and change it.

What we learned

AI is fast at first drafts and slow at knowing your business. Generic instructions give you a generic website, the kind that could belong to any contractor in any state. The pages got good when we gave it the real stuff: our photos, our towns, the way the crew describes a job.

Tracking matters more than people think. Without it, you’re guessing which marketing works. With it, the conversation is simple: this ad brought in calls, that one didn’t.

Your site, on your accounts

This is the same setup we offer through websites with AI built in and Google Business Profile and review management. It works for a plumber, a dental office, a property manager or a shop on Lark Street. You own the site, the domain, the Google accounts and the ad account. We set them up, show you how it all works and stay on call.

And the site you’re reading right now? Built the same way.

Sample review

Ordered three large pies for my son's team after Saturday's game. Ready early, still hot when we got to the field, and the guy at the counter threw in plates and napkins without us asking. The garlic knots are dangerous. We'll be back.

Sample review

Crust was great and the sauce is the real deal. But our pickup was quoted at 25 minutes, took almost an hour, and nobody said a word about it running late. Would give it another shot on a weeknight.

Delivery came an hour late and the pizza was cold. I called the store and the guy who answered said there was nothing he could do. Not ordering again.
