No pitch. No obligation. We do not share your info. Ever.

Before KRFt we were running ads with no strategy and chasing leads that went nowhere. Within six months of working with them our cost per lead dropped by more than half, our phone was ringing with the right jobs, and we had to turn down work for the first time in five years. That is not something I ever expected to say.

Everything contractors need to generate consistent leads online

Built around the way homeowners and commercial buyers search for contractors. Not a generic agency playbook that was designed for someone else.

Local SEO

Contractor SEO and local search

Rank for the service and location searches your buyers run when they need a contractor right now. Google Business Profile, local citations, and on-page SEO built for your market.

Paid Media

Google Ads and pay-per-lead

Targeted search campaigns that put your business in front of buyers who are actively searching for your services. We manage every dollar and tie spend directly to booked jobs.

Web

Contractor website design

A website that loads fast, looks professional, and converts visitors into calls and form fills. Built to rank, built to convert, and built so you can update it without calling a developer.

Reviews

Reputation and review management

Reviews are the number one decision factor for buyers hiring contractors. We build systems that generate consistent five-star reviews and manage your reputation across every platform.

Social

Social media and project showcase

Before and after content, project showcases, and community presence that build trust before the first call. We manage your social presence so your work does the selling.

Retargeting

Display and retargeting campaigns

Stay in front of homeowners who visited your site but did not call. Retargeting campaigns that bring warm visitors back and keep your brand visible while they are still deciding.

Reporting

Lead tracking and monthly reporting

Call tracking, form submissions, and revenue attribution all in one place. You know exactly where every lead came from and what every dollar of marketing spend produced.

Strategy

Seasonal and growth planning

Contractor businesses are seasonal. We plan around your busy and slow seasons so your pipeline stays full year-round and you are not scrambling for work in the off-season.

Sound familiar?

These are the marketing problems we hear most often from contractors. Every single one is fixable.

We get most of our work from referrals and it is not consistent enough.

Referrals are your best leads but the worst pipeline strategy. You cannot control the volume or timing. A digital marketing program gives you a predictable, scalable lead source that does not depend on who called their neighbor last week.

We tried Google Ads and spent a lot of money without getting good leads.

Contractor ad campaigns fail when targeting is too broad, keywords are wrong, or the landing page does not convert. The platform works. The setup was the problem. We audit what went wrong and build campaigns that produce qualified leads, not just clicks.

Our competitors show up on Google and we do not.

Local SEO is a winnable game for contractors. The businesses showing up are not smarter than you. They started earlier or worked with someone who knew what they were doing. We close that gap and then push past them.

We are busy in summer and scrambling for work in winter.

Seasonal slumps are a planning problem, not a market problem. We build marketing programs that front-load pipeline for your slow season so you are booking winter jobs while you are still busy in summer.

We have good reviews but they are all over the place and hard to manage.

A scattered review presence loses you jobs every single week. Buyers check Google, Facebook, and Houzz before calling anyone. We consolidate, manage, and grow your review presence so it works in your favor consistently.

We do not have time to deal with marketing on top of running jobs.

That is the number one reason contractor marketing programs fail. We handle everything so you can stay focused on the work. Strategy, execution, reporting, and optimization all done for you every single month.

Monthly reporting and optimization

Every month you get a full breakdown. Leads generated, cost per lead, what is working, what we are adjusting, and what is coming next. No surprises, no mystery metrics.

Questions we get asked a lot

How do you generate leads for contractors? +
The most effective channels for most contractors are local SEO, Google Ads, and review management. Local SEO gets you in front of buyers who are searching right now. Paid search captures high-intent buyers immediately. Reviews close the deal once they find you. We build programs that use all three together and track every lead back to its source.
How quickly can I start getting leads? +
Paid search campaigns can go live within days and produce leads within the first week. Local SEO and content take longer to build momentum, typically 2 to 4 months, but the results compound over time. We usually recommend running both simultaneously so you get immediate wins from paid while the organic foundation builds.
How much does contractor marketing cost? +
It depends on your service area, how competitive your market is, and what channels make the most sense for your specific business. We do not do one-size-fits-all pricing. Every engagement starts with a free audit so we can scope accurately and recommend only what your situation actually requires. No bloated retainers, no paying for services that do not fit.
Do you work with all types of contractors? +
Yes. We work with roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contractors, landscaping, painting, flooring, remodeling, and more. The marketing strategies are similar across trades but the keyword targeting, messaging, and seasonality planning are customized to your specific service and market.
What if I already have a website and am running ads? +
Great. We start with a full audit of what you have. Most contractor websites and ad accounts we inherit have significant room for improvement. We fix what is broken, optimize what is working, and layer in what is missing. You do not need to start from scratch to see a big improvement in results.
Do you require a long-term contract? +
No. Month-to-month, always. We believe in earning your business every month. We recommend giving any program at least 90 days to show meaningful results and we will be upfront about that. But we never lock you in. The work keeps you here, not a contract.
