Buying Leads That Go to Four Companies
You pay $60 to $200 for a lead that three of your competitors also bought. You’re racing to call first, discounting to win, and the cost goes up every year. You’re renting customers, not earning them.
Local SEO for home service contractors
SharpQuery helps home service businesses across the US rank in the Google Map Pack and win exclusive local leads. No shared leads. No lead-buying platforms. No twelve-month contracts.
Who we help
Most SEO agencies will take any client with a credit card. We don’t. We work almost entirely with home service companies, because the way a roofer gets found on Google has nothing in common with how a law firm or a SaaS company does.
Storm season. Emergency searches. Service-area radius. Insurance work versus retail. We build campaigns around how your trade actually gets customers.
Also available
If you sell products online — parts, equipment, supplies, or a full retail catalog — we handle WooCommerce SEO and WooCommerce development. Store builds, speed optimization, product and category page SEO, and migrations.
The problem
Most home service owners come to us after some version of the same story:
You pay $60 to $200 for a lead that three of your competitors also bought. You’re racing to call first, discounting to win, and the cost goes up every year. You’re renting customers, not earning them.
You signed a twelve-month contract, got a monthly PDF full of charts you couldn’t read, and never found out whether the phone rang because of the SEO or in spite of it. When you asked, you got jargon.
You rank fine for your company name. But when someone in your service area searches “roof repair near me” or “emergency plumber,” three competitors show up in the map and you don’t. That’s where the jobs are.
We do this differently. Every engagement starts with an audit that shows you exactly why you’re not in the Map Pack — and you get that audit whether or not you hire us.
Our Signature Method
Three phases. No guesswork, no filler, no mystery invoices.
We audit your site and your Google Business Profile, then fix what’s blocking you: wrong or missing GBP categories, service areas set up incorrectly, inconsistent business info across the web, slow mobile pages, and technical issues stopping Google from reading your site properly. Most home service sites have several of these, and they’re the cheapest wins available.
We build out the pages you need to rank for each service in each area you cover, publish content that answers what your customers actually search, and earn local links from suppliers, associations, and community sources. This is what moves you into the Map Pack and keeps you there.
Rankings aren’t the goal — booked jobs are. We fix the parts of your site that lose people: slow forms, buried phone numbers, no click-to-call, weak service pages. Then we expand into new service areas and new services.
Realistic timeline: Map Pack movement usually starts in 60 to 90 days. Meaningful organic growth takes 4 to 6 months. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is either guessing or selling you something else.
Services
Everything here is built around one outcome: more calls from people in your service area who are ready to hire.
Where most jobs come from
Getting you into the three-pack for the searches that produce jobs. Service area setup, local ranking factors, competitor displacement, and the location and service pages that support it.
Biggest early win
Your GBP does more for local rankings than your website does. Categories, services, service areas, photos, posts, Q&A, review strategy, and reporting fake or spam competitor listings crowding you out.
A full teardown of what's blocking your site: crawl issues, speed, mobile usability, site structure, schema, and indexing. Delivered as a prioritized fix list, not a 90-page PDF.
Service pages, location pages, and articles that answer what your customers search before they call. Every piece is human-written and mapped to a keyword with real demand behind it.
Store builds, migrations, speed optimization, and product and category page SEO for businesses selling online.
Why Us
We’re not a general marketing agency taking home service clients on the side. We know what a roofing lead is worth in your market, why HVAC gets brutal in July, and which trades live or die on before-and-after photos.
Your website, your Google Business Profile, your rankings, your content, your leads. If we ever part ways, all of it stays with you. That’s not true of the lead platforms.
Monthly reports a busy owner can read in five minutes: what we did, where you rank, how many calls and forms came in, and what’s next. Ask us anything and get a straight answer, not jargon.
Month to month after the initial ramp-up period. We’d rather keep you because the work is working.
No purchased links, no fake reviews, no fake locations, no AI content dumped on your site. Shortcuts get sites penalized, and rebuilding from a penalty costs more than doing it right.
FAQ
Google Business Profile improvements often show up within 60 to 90 days. Organic rankings for competitive service keywords typically take 4 to 6 months to produce steady lead flow. Anyone promising faster is guessing.
Different math. Lead platforms give you immediate volume, but the leads are shared, the cost per lead rises over time, and you own nothing. SEO takes longer to start and then produces exclusive leads at a falling cost, on an asset you keep. Most of our clients run both at first and shift the budget as organic picks up.
No. We won’t take two companies in the same trade competing for the same service area. If your market is already taken, we’ll tell you upfront.
No. There’s an initial ramp-up period because the foundational work takes time to show results, and after that it’s month to month.
Yes, and it’s most of what we do. Google calls that a service area business, and it has its own setup requirements. Getting it configured correctly is one of the first things we fix.
Your current Map Pack position for your top keywords, what’s wrong with your Google Business Profile, which competitors are outranking you and why, and the first three things we’d fix. It’s yours to keep and use, whether or not you hire us.
We’re a distributed team serving home service businesses across the US. We keep US business hours, you get named contacts, and we’re happy to jump on a video call any time.
Yes. We build service sites and WooCommerce stores, and we handle SEO-focused rebuilds when an existing site is holding back rankings.
Free audit. No obligation, no sales pressure, and no generic PDF. You’ll get your current local rankings, what’s holding you back, and the first three fixes — in plain English.
