Zero to JourneymanThe licensed path into the trades
For licensed tradespeople going independent

Going out on your own? Make the phone ring.

The license wins the work — but when you leave the shop and hang your own shingle, the phone has to ring first. We build the web presence that makes it ring, using the same search playbook we use to rank this site: one trade, one service area, built to win the searches customers actually type.

Founding builds

First 3 tradesmen: we build it free.

We’re proving this offer in public. The first three licensed tradesmen get the full build — site, Google Business Profile, tracked number — free. You pay only your own domain and hosting (about $15/mo, registered to you, so you own everything from day one). In exchange: an honest testimonial and your before/after featured on this page.

  • Licensed and already working — we check the state board, same as everything on this site
  • No real web presence yet — a Facebook page counts as none
  • One business per trade per market, first come

One lane

Journeyman trades only. Local only.

This whole site is licensing roadmaps for the trades — that is the industry we know. So it is all we build for: electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, roofers, and concrete crews, in the mid-size cities and towns where one well-built site can genuinely own the search results.

ElectriciansHVACPlumbersRoofersConcrete & masonry

No restaurants, no law firms, no online stores. If the work doesn’t take a license, we’re not your builder.

How it works

Three steps, no sales call

  1. Send the form

    Trade, town, email. That’s everything we need to start — no phone tag, no pitch meeting.

  2. Get a yes or a no

    Within 2 business days we reply with a market check: can we honestly win your town? If yes, you get a flat quote and a start date. If no, we tell you that instead.

  3. Live in about 3 weeks

    Domain, site, Google Business Profile, call tracking — live and reporting. You take the calls; we keep it ranking.

What you get

A lead machine, not a brochure

A domain built to rank

Your service area plus your trade in the name — picked from real search data for your city, owned by you from day one.

A site built for one job

Fast, mobile-first pages targeting "[your trade] in [your city]" — with the structured data, service pages, and review markup search engines and AI assistants actually read.

Google Business Profile, done right

Set up and optimized on your real business — categories, service areas, photos, and a review system that compounds. The map pack is where local customers call from.

Proof it works

A tracked phone number and lead capture, so you see every call and form the site produces. You judge it by jobs booked, not by a traffic chart.

Kept ranking

Monthly upkeep: fresh service pages, review responses, citation cleanup, and search-ranking checks — the boring work that holds a #1 spot.

Beyond the website

Add-ons for when the phone starts ringing

Every build stands alone — none of this is required. These bolt on when the volume justifies them: same flat-quote rule, cancel anytime, you own the data.

Lead CRM dashboard

Lead CRM dashboard

+$59–99/mo

Every call and form in one place — who reached out, from where, what the job is worth, and a one-tap follow-up reminder so no lead goes cold. Built on the same dashboard system we run our own rental business on, skinned for your trade.

Online booking & scheduling

Online booking & scheduling

+$29–49/mo

Customers book estimates straight into your calendar from the site and your Google Business Profile — synced to your phone, reminders included, no phone tag.

AI receptionist — VIP

AI receptionist — VIP

+$199–299/mo · a few seats per quarter

A chat assistant on your site that answers in seconds, day or night. It asks your qualifying questions — job type, location, timeline — books the serious ones onto your calendar, and politely filters the tire-kickers, so you only spend time on customers ready to pay. Clearly labeled as an assistant, and you approve every question it asks.

Plain pricing

One build fee, one flat monthly

$750–1,500

one-time build — domain, site, Google Business Profile, tracking. Your exact flat quote comes in our first reply, before you pay anything.

$49–99/mo

hosting + upkeep + local SEO. Cancel anytime; the domain and site stay yours.

Same rules as the rest of this site

  • Rankings take months, not days. Anyone promising #1 next week is lying to you — we publish realistic timelines up front.
  • You own everything: domain, site, phone number, Google Business Profile. No hostage-taking, ever.
  • We only take on one business per trade per service area — your site is never competing against another client of ours.
Before you ask

Everything people usually call to ask

Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify?+

Different tools for different jobs. Shopify exists to sell products — carts, SKUs, checkout — and a service trade sells trust and a phone call. DIY builders hand you a blank template and make you the web designer; what actually ranks a local trade business is structural: service + city pages, LocalBusiness schema, speed, your license where customers can see it, and a Google Business Profile wired to reviews. That’s a build, not a template — and unlike the platforms, you own everything and pay no monthly rent for the site itself.

How fast will I rank?+

The site is live in about three weeks. Rankings build over months: in a typical small market expect early map-pack movement in 1–3 months and meaningful organic positions in 3–6. Anyone promising page one in a week is lying to you.

What exactly do I get?+

A domain named after your service area and trade, a 10–20 page site built to rank, your Google Business Profile set up and optimized, a tracked phone number, a lead form that goes to your email, and a monthly report of every call the site produced.

Who owns it?+

You do — domain, site, phone number, and Google Business Profile are all registered to you from day one. If you cancel, everything stays yours.

What do you need from me?+

About an hour total: your license number, proof of insurance, your service list, photos of real jobs, and the Google Business Profile verification step (Google sends the code to you, not us).

What does it cost, exactly?+

The build is a flat quote between $750 and $1,500, set by how many towns and services we cover — you get the exact number in our first reply, before you pay anything. Care is $49–99/mo, cancel anytime.

I already have a website.+

Fine — we either rebuild on your existing domain or start fresh on a geography-plus-trade domain, whichever the market check says will rank faster. Nothing you have is lost.

Do you guarantee leads?+

No — and be wary of anyone who does. We guarantee the work: the build, the profile, the tracking, and monthly proof of exactly what the site produced.

Which trades and towns do you take?+

Licensed trades only, one business per trade per service area, and we prioritize markets under about 500,000 people — that’s where a well-built site wins. If your market is taken or too competitive, we say so.

Can you also handle my leads, booking, and follow-up?+

Yes — as add-ons, never as requirements: a lead CRM dashboard, online booking wired to your calendar, and for a few clients per quarter an AI receptionist that qualifies customers before they reach you. Each is flat-priced monthly and cancelable; start with just the site and bolt them on when the volume justifies it.

Ready? Send the form — no call needed

We reply within 2 business days with your market check, a flat quote, and a start date. If we can’t honestly win your town, we say that instead.
