What’s needed for me to get started?

We guide you through an 8-week onboarding process with weekly 30-minute strategy calls. Each session collects content, access, and preferences to build your site and digital foundation efficiently.

How do contractor websites help generate leads?

A website alone doesn’t guarantee leads, but it builds trust, establishes authority, and sends strong signals to Google—supporting your SEO and visibility over time.

How long will my website take?

Most sites take 4 to 8 weeks depending on how much content, images, and account access is provided at the start.

Do I need a blog on my HVAC/plumbing website?

Yes. Blogging helps you rank for long-tail keywords, builds topical authority, and keeps your website content fresh—boosting SEO.

Do we own the custom website you build?

Yes. You own the content, accounts, URLs, and licensed media. We prioritize long-term control and transparency for contractors.

How fast should my contractor website load?

Google recommends under 3 seconds. We build for speed and performance, optimized for Core Web Vitals and mobile responsiveness.

Will my website be mobile friendly?

Yes. CHQ builds responsive, mobile-first websites that adjust to every screen size and meet modern usability standards.

Do I have to provide my own images?

We use your images if provided, and supplement with licensed stock as needed. For best results, we recommend a custom local photo shoot.

How long does it take for SEO to work for a contractor business?

Most contractors see progress in 3–6 months, but full results can take up to 12 months. We focus on long-term, Google-approved SEO strategies—no shortcuts, no guarantees.

Why is SEO important for home service contractors?

SEO helps your site rank when people search for services like HVAC repair or plumbing near them. Without it, your site may go unseen.

How do I track calls or leads from my site?

We use Invoca for call tracking and AgencyAnalytics dashboards to monitor calls, forms, and traffic sources—all reviewed during monthly strategy calls.

What makes Contractor HQ different from other agencies?

We specialize in contractors, offer more value for 1/3 the cost, provide hands-on support, and are 100% U.S.-based for clear, professional communication.

What’s the benefit of your partnership with EGIA Contractor University?

EGIA members get up to $4,500 off web setup, access to scalable SEO and social tools, and strategic coaching with transparent results tracking.
