Digital Marketing for Contractors
Contractors who partner with Fast Break Digital Media stop chasing leads and start choosing which jobs to take. Our Contractor Growth Engine has generated over $2.75 million in documented revenue for trades businesses across the country — combining custom websites, SEO, paid advertising, and automation into one done-for-you system.
Most Contractors Are Losing Money on Marketing They Can't Measure
The average contractor spends between 5% and 10% of their revenue on marketing, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. For a company doing $500,000 in annual revenue, that's $25,000 to $50,000 per year. The problem is not the spend — it is the waste.
Word-of-mouth built your business, but it cannot scale predictably. Yard signs and truck wraps work passively, but you have no control over volume. Thumbtack, Angi, and HomeAdvisor sell the same lead to three or four other contractors. You end up in a race to the bottom on price, competing for jobs that were never really yours to begin with.
Digital marketing changes that equation entirely. When a homeowner in your service area searches Google for "landscaping company near me" or "roof replacement cost," they are actively looking for someone to hire. Organic SEO and paid search advertising put your business directly in front of these high-intent buyers at the exact moment they are ready to spend money.
According to Google, 97% of consumers search online to find local services. 78% of local mobile searches result in an offline purchase within 24 hours. These are not theoretical numbers — they represent the revenue your competitors are capturing every day that you are not showing up online.
The Old Way vs. The Fast Break Way
Most contractors are stuck in a cycle of unpredictable lead flow, wasted ad spend, and marketing chaos. We built a system to replace all of that.
The Old Way (Chaos)
- Relying on word-of-mouth and hoping the phone rings
- Paying for shared leads on Angi, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor
- A website from 2017 that does not generate any leads
- Hiring a "marketing guy" who posts on Facebook twice a month
- No tracking — you have no idea which marketing actually works
- Feast-or-famine revenue cycles every single year
- Wearing every hat: estimator, project manager, marketer, bookkeeper
The Fast Break Way (Control)
- A predictable pipeline of qualified leads every week
- Owning your leads — no sharing, no bidding wars
- A custom website built to convert visitors into booked appointments
- Full-service marketing team handling SEO, ads, content, and automation
- Revenue tracking so you know every dollar your marketing generates
- Steady, sustainable growth you can plan around
- A done-for-you system so you can focus on the work you love
The Contractor Growth Engine
Four integrated pillars that work together to generate predictable revenue, build your authority, and scale your business without you managing any of it.
Custom Roadmap
Every engagement starts with a deep audit of your current marketing, competitors, and market opportunity. We analyze where your competitors rank, what keywords drive revenue in your service area, and where the gaps are. The result is a custom growth roadmap — not a generic template — built specifically for your business, your market, and your goals. This roadmap becomes the blueprint for everything we build.
Authority Positioning
We build you a custom, high-converting website designed to position your company as the authority in your market. Every page is optimized for the specific search terms your ideal customers use. We implement local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, review systems, and content that demonstrates genuine expertise. When homeowners search for services in your area, they find you first — and they trust you immediately.
Automation Engine
Manual follow-up is where most contractors lose deals. Our automation engine handles lead capture, instant response, appointment scheduling, review requests, and follow-up sequences — all without you touching a keyboard. According to InsideSales.com, responding to a lead within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to connect. Our system responds in under 60 seconds, 24 hours a day.
Growth Multiplier
Every completed job becomes a growth opportunity. Our Growth Multiplier automates review collection (boosting your Google rating), triggers referral requests, and feeds data back into your ad targeting. One job turns into three. Over time, your cost per acquisition drops while your revenue climbs. This is how contractor businesses scale past $1 million without the owner working 80-hour weeks.
The Reactivation Campaign: $50,000+ Before We Spend a Dime on Ads
Before we launch a single paid advertisement, we run a Reactivation Campaign on your existing customer list and unconverted leads. This is money sitting in your business right now that you are leaving on the table.
Using targeted email, SMS, and direct outreach sequences, we re-engage past customers who have not heard from you recently and follow up with leads who inquired but never booked. The result is consistently 3 to 5 new jobs and a $50,000 or more cash injection — revenue generated before your ad budget is even activated.
This is not a gimmick. It is the fastest way to demonstrate ROI and fund the rest of your marketing investment. Our clients at CIM Exteriors, Black Rock Landscape, and EarthArt Landscaping all saw immediate revenue from their Reactivation Campaigns before any new marketing channels were even live.
Everything a Contractor Needs to Dominate Online
Custom Website Design
Hand-coded, mobile-first websites built for speed and conversions. No templates, no page builders. Every site is designed around your brand, your services, and the keywords that drive revenue in your market. Our contractor websites consistently convert at over 5%, compared to the industry average of 2.35%.
Web Design Services →Search Engine Optimization
Technical SEO, on-page optimization, local SEO, and ongoing content creation that moves you up the rankings and keeps you there. We target the keywords your ideal customers actually search for — terms like "landscaper near me" or "roof replacement [your city]" — and build the topical authority Google rewards with top positions.
SEO Services →Paid Advertising
ROI-driven Google Ads and Meta campaigns that put qualified appointments on your calendar. We handle strategy, ad creative, landing pages, tracking, and ongoing optimization. Every dollar is tracked to a lead, an appointment, or a closed job — no vanity metrics, no wasted spend.
PPC Management →Google Business Profile
Full GBP optimization including profile setup, category selection, photo management, weekly posts, Q&A management, and automated review collection. 46% of all Google searches have local intent, and the map pack is the most visible real estate in local search results.
Local SEO Services →Marketing Automation
CRM integration, automated lead follow-up, appointment scheduling, review request sequences, and referral systems. Our automation handles the repetitive tasks that most contractors either do poorly or skip entirely — ensuring no lead falls through the cracks and every completed job generates future business.
Reporting & Analytics
Weekly reports showing exactly where your leads come from, what they cost, and how much revenue they generate. No jargon, no vanity metrics — just clear numbers that show your marketing ROI. You will always know whether your investment is working.

These are not hypothetical projections. These are documented results from real contractor businesses using the Fast Break Growth Engine.
