Want to get more Google traffic and actually turn it into paying jobs? That’s the game. And most contractors are playing it wrong. They throw money at ads, post a few blogs, and hope Google notices. But hope isn’t a strategy.
At Hook, we don’t chase clicks, we build momentum. The kind that keeps your phone buzzing, your crews busy, and your name showing up every time a homeowner searches for help. We speak contractor, we know what works, and we make Google work for you.
Ready to see how it’s done? Let’s get into it.
Local SEO That Puts You on the Map (Literally)
If they can’t find you, they can’t hire you.
That’s the truth. Most homeowners aren’t scrolling past the first few results when they search “roof repair near me” or “emergency AC service.” They call the businesses that show up first, and those top spots aren’t luck. They’re earned through smart, consistent local SEO.
At Hook, we make sure your business doesn’t just show up. We make sure it stands out.
Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is the digital front door to your business. It’s what people see before they ever click your website. If it’s not fully built out, you’re losing leads before the game even starts.
Hook helps you claim, clean up, and supercharge your profile. We fill in every detail like photos, posts, service areas, business hours, and FAQs so Google knows exactly who you are and where you work.
Why does this matter? Because the numbers speak for themselves. Businesses that secure a top three position in local search results typically have over 200 Google reviews, with an average of almost 250 reviews. Those reviews don’t just make your listing look trustworthy, they make it rank better too.
And here’s a key stat most contractors overlook: around 75% of businesses in those top spots have fully completed their description section, writing roughly 70 words about who they are and what they do. That short paragraph helps Google understand your business and push you higher in results.
If you want to dig deeper into how these signals work together to help you rise through the rankings, check out Hook’s guide to getting on the first page of Google. It breaks down exactly how your website and Google profile work hand-in-hand to drive more calls.
Keywords That Match Real Searches
Google rewards relevance. We dig deep into local keyword research to uncover the exact terms homeowners use when they’re ready to hire.
Think about it, no one’s searching for “HVAC optimization specialist.” They’re typing “AC repair near me” or “water heater leaking.”
Hook helps you target these everyday phrases across your website, Google posts, and service listings. It’s not about stuffing keywords. It’s about speaking the same language your customers do.
Citations That Keep Google Confident
Consistency is power. If your business name, address, and phone number look different across directories, Google gets confused and that hurts your visibility.
We clean up your citations across local and industry sites, making sure every detail matches perfectly. When Google sees that kind of consistency, it rewards you with better rankings.
Review Strategy
Five-star reviews aren’t just nice to have, they’re fuel for your local SEO.
Hook helps you build a steady stream of positive reviews through simple, automated follow-ups that make it easy for customers to share their experience. More reviews mean more trust, more clicks, and more leads.
We also guide you on how to respond the right way. Every reply adds credibility and signals engagement to Google.
Pro tip: You can’t buy trust but a solid review profile gets close.
On-Site SEO That Converts Clicks into Calls
You can have all the traffic in the world, but if your website doesn’t load fast, look sharp, and make it easy to call, you’re leaving money on the table. That’s where Hook’s on-site SEO strategy comes in. We don’t just optimize for Google; we optimize for humans who are ready to buy.
- Speed is everything.
A slow site kills conversions before they start. We fine-tune every element, from image compression to server response, to make sure your site scores high on Core Web Vitals. Because when your pages load in under two seconds, people stick around. And when they stick around, they call.
- Mobile-first or bust.
Most homeowners search on their phones while standing in front of the problem they need fixed. Google knows this, which is why it uses mobile-first indexing. If your site doesn’t perform flawlessly on mobile, you’re already slipping in rankings. That’s why we design every site to look good, feel fast, and flow naturally on any device.
- Your service pages are your sales team.
Each one needs to work like a top closer. We build keyword-rich, locally focused pages that answer search intent and lead visitors straight to your phone number or contact form. Whether you’re a roofer, HVAC pro, or remodeler, your service pages should speak your customer’s language and show up when they search.

Pro tip: The faster your site loads, the higher you rank, and the more people stick around. That’s a fact. And if you want your business to pop up in those high-value local searches, check out how our Google Maps SEO strategies help you dominate the map pack too.
Content That Gets Clicks and Keeps You Climbing
You can’t rank if you never talk about what people search. Simple as that.
At Hook, we don’t write fluff, we write what homeowners actually type into Google. Questions like:
- How much does roof repair cost in Minnesota?
- Why is my AC blowing warm air?
- When should I replace my water heater?
That’s the kind of content that works. It shows up when people are looking for answers and earns clicks because it’s useful, not salesy.
We dig into what your customers are asking, then build blogs, FAQs, and guides that solve real problems. That’s how you earn trust before the first call. It’s how you turn searchers into leads.
Our FAQ strategy is another key piece. Those “People Also Ask” boxes on Google? That’s where we want you. Fast answers, clear value, instant credibility.
And we don’t stop at keywords. Local storytelling builds connection and relevance. A roofing project that helped a family before a storm. An HVAC install that saved a neighborhood church. That kind of content shows you care about your community, and Google eats that up.
Every post blends personality with precision. Informative, but never boring. Optimized, but never robotic.
And if you’re wondering why Hook doesn’t try to “do everything” like full-service agencies, there’s a reason.
Authority Building That Doesn’t Risk Your Reputation
Backlinks can build you up or blow you up.
Hook plays the long game with safe, earned links that boost your domain authority without risking your site. No spammy blogs. No shady deals. Just smart partnerships and mentions that matter.
We focus on three things:
- Legit mentions on trusted local and industry sites.
- Community partnerships that strengthen your brand.
- Consistent citations that tell Google you’re the real deal.
This isn’t just “clean” SEO, it’s effective. 62% of SEOs in 2025 rely on legitimate mentions and local partnerships to build sustainable domain authority.
Think of domain authority like your online credibility score. The higher it is, the easier you rise in search results. And Hook helps you get there safely, through results that compound over time.
We believe in growth without gimmicks. Every backlink, every mention, every feature is earned with strategy and trust, not shortcuts.
Because the goal isn’t just rankings. It’s reputation. And once you’ve built that, everything else follows.
Transparency You Can Actually See
If your agency can’t show you the numbers, what are you paying for?
At Hook, we make transparency the priority. You’ll see exactly what’s working and what’s not in clean, simple reports that tell the story behind your SEO.
Each month, you’ll get:
- Traffic updates showing where visitors come from.
- Ranking reports for your most important keywords.
- Lead tracking that connects clicks to calls and form fills.
But we don’t stop at spreadsheets. We explain what the data means in plain English. You’ll know what’s driving results and where we’re doubling down next.
That’s what real partnership looks like. No smoke. No mirrors. Just clear insights and proof of progress you can actually feel in your business.
Stop Chasing Traffic. Start Owning It.
Getting more Google traffic isn’t about throwing money at ads or waiting for luck to strike. It’s about strategy, precision, and doing the right things consistently, the way Hook does it.
We help contractors show up when homeowners are searching, not scrolling. Local SEO, fast websites, content that actually ranks, it all adds up to one thing: more calls, more leads, more jobs.
You’ve built a business that deserves to be seen. Let’s make sure Google agrees.
