Homeowners don't scroll. They tap the first three results and start calling. If your competitors show up and you don't, you're not losing jobs to better work — you're losing them to better visibility. 91% of searches don't scroll past page 1 Analysis of 7M+ search sessions. Page 1 captures 91.5% of all traffic; page 2 gets less than 5%. 68% of revenue goes to top 3 results Click-through data shows the top 3 organic results capture ~68% of all clicks on a SERP, with position 1 alone at ~28%. Local Pack gets 44% of clicks For local service searches, the Google Local Pack (map results) receives 44% of clicks, making GMB optimization essential. Show me where I rank Why this matters now ## Search just changed. Contractors who adapt in 2026 own the next decade. If you've wondered whether SEO is still worth it in 2026, with AI search changing the rules and Angi costs climbing, here's the honest picture. 96.5% of homeowners research online before they call a contractor. 70% of local jobs go to a business in the top 3 results. If you're not in the results, you're not in the conversation. BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2025 23% year-over-year rise in paid search costs, while SEO compounds quietly in the background. Angi, Thumbtack, Google Ads: stop paying, disappear instantly. Every optimized page, review, and backlink you earn keeps working. Month 6 is easier than Month 1. WordStream Google Ads Industry Benchmarks, 2025 AI Search 60%+ of searches now end without a click, answered by AI before a user ever visits a site. AI pulls answers from sites it trusts, which means strong SEO is now your ticket into AI visibility too. ChatGPT Gemini AI Overviews Perplexity SparkToro "Zero-Click Search" Study, 2025 The Short Answer SEO Is More Important in 2026 Than It's Ever Been The contractors who rank in the map pack, own their lead source, and appear in AI answers are pulling away, *right now*. Not because they're smarter. Because they invested in SEO earlier. **The best time to build your SEO foundation was last year. The second best time is before your competitor reads this page.** The results gap ## Our clients vs. the industry average. Most agencies measure success in clicks and rankings. We measure it in **MQLs, booked jobs, and revenue** — and the numbers show the difference. Metric Industry average Comrade clients Year 1 ROI Return on every marketing dollar spent in the first twelve months. 2–3x 8.2xmedian Organic SEO ROI Isolated return from organic search alone — the compounding channel. ~3–4x 14.2xmedian Year 2 MQL growth Marketing-qualified lead growth in year two, when SEO compounding takes hold. 20–30% 106%increase Revenue growth, Year 1 Year-one top-line revenue growth attributed to marketing engagement. Flat / declining 76%median **Methodology:** Median figures calculated from 130+ contractor clients tracked through Growth Portal, 2023–2026. Industry averages sourced from HubSpot State of Marketing, contractor marketing benchmarks, and SEMrush agency surveys. Individual results vary by market competition and starting position. Clients with an existing web presence typically see 9.0x ROI and 74% MQL growth in year one. Clients starting from scratch average 4.3x ROI — lower starting point, equally strong trajectory. *Year two is where the compounding becomes impossible to ignore.* Free marketing assessment ### See exactly where you stand against contractors in your market.

We've been through every algorithm update — Panda, Penguin, Helpful Content, AI Overviews. 03 ### Revenue-First Reporting We report on booked jobs, cost per lead, and revenue — never just clicks and rankings. If it doesn't tie to revenue, we don't lead with it. 04 ### You Own Everything Website, content, data, leads — all yours from day one. We don't hold websites hostage or use lock-in clauses. 05 ### No Long-Term Contracts We earn your business every month. Our retention rate is high because the results speak for themselves — not because you're locked in. 06 ### Fractional CMO Included You get a senior strategist who thinks like your in-house marketing director — not a junior account manager reading from a playbook. A Note from Our Founder I believe contractors deserve a real partner, someone who treats your growth like their own business. You shouldn't have to chase your SEO agency or guess what's working. You should have a system built for you that delivers results and proves them with data.

Real results. 4.8 Google · 100+ reviews 4.8 Clutch · 66 reviews 4.8 Facebook · 22 reviews 4.4 Trustpilot · 22 reviews 4.9 G2 · 7 reviews SEO questions, answered honestly ## The things contractors actually ask us. Don't see your question? We'll answer it on the call — no sales pitch required. Ask on a call ### How soon will I see results? First ranking movement in 6–10 weeks. First attributable leads in 8–12 weeks. Meaningful revenue lift typically by month 4. We’d rather set honest expectations than oversell month-one magic. ### What if I'm already locked into another agency? We’ll do a free audit showing what’s working and what’s not. If there’s overlap, we’ll tell you. If your current agency is doing good work, we’ll say so. We only take on clients we can genuinely help. ### What happens if we don't hit the targets we agreed to? We keep working without charging you until we do. It’s written into every contract. We can do this because our playbook works — and when it doesn’t, it’s on us to figure out why. ### Do I own the content, links, and accounts? Yes. Everything we build — pages, GBP, citations, links, reports — is yours. If you leave, you take it all. We’re not a roach motel. ### Why only home services contractors? Because the playbook is different. The keywords, the search behavior, the review dynamics, the attribution model — none of it translates from e-commerce or SaaS. Specialization is the whole game. ### Will you work with my existing website? Almost always. If the site has serious conversion or technical problems, we’ll flag them and — if it makes sense — fold a redesign into the engagement. But we don’t force a rebuild to pad the bill.
