Frequently Asked

Answers before you commit.

What kind of website do general contractors need?

A website with clear service pages for each type of project, a real portfolio, credentials, and service-area pages for the markets the company serves.

How important is a portfolio for contractors?

Very important. Prospective customers rely on real project examples to evaluate a contractor, and search engines and AI systems use that content to understand what the business does.

Should licensing and credentials be on the website?

Yes. Customers hiring a contractor expect to see licensing, insurance, and relevant credentials clearly presented before requesting a quote.

Do general contractors need service-area pages?

In most cases, yes. Service-area pages help nearby customers and search engines understand which cities and neighborhoods you cover.

What are common general contractor marketing problems?

Thin websites, unclear positioning, missing portfolios, missing credentials, no service-area coverage, and Google Business Profiles that do not match the website.

Does Workhorse work with contractors of all sizes?

Yes. From smaller residential contractors to established firms with commercial and specialty work, the same foundation applies: clear website, aligned profile, strong local relevance, and useful content.
