General Contracting or Builder Website FAQs

How to get started as a home service provider

Getting found, booked, and respected online starts with three essentials: a modern, mobile-friendly website, high-performance local SEO, and messaging that proves your experience and value. Whether you're looking to grow your general contracting business, attract bigger bids, or stand out from the sea of GCs in your area, here’s how to get started.

What Makes a Great Website for General Contractors?

The best general contractor websites don’t just show up—they show off. In a good way. They showcase your work, clarify your process, and make it easy to take the next step. At Knapsack, we build custom Squarespace websites using the StoryBrand framework to lead visitors from curiosity to conversion.

Every high-performing GC site answers three questions in under 10 seconds:
What do you build? Who do you serve? What’s the next step?

Contractors with clear navigation, fast-loading image galleries, testimonials, and trust badges consistently outperform those with cluttered or templated pages. Your website is your first impression—and in many cases, your only shot to win the lead.

Why Squarespace Works for General Contractors

You don’t need a bloated WordPress theme or a web guy who disappears halfway through a punch list. Squarespace is built for speed, stability, and simplicity, making it ideal for contractors who want a high-performance site without the dev drama.

We build every GC website on Squarespace, optimized for:

  • Mobile-first design (looks great from job site to showroom)

  • Lightning-fast load times that boost Google rankings

  • Built-in SSL, uptime, and site security you don’t have to manage

  • Seamless integrations for calendar bookings, estimates, and CRM tools

  • SEO-ready blog and landing page layouts tailored for home services

No plugins to break. No backend bloat. Just a clean, contractor-ready site that runs smoothly and scales as your business grows.

How SEO Helps General Contractors Get More Jobs

You can’t close a job if you never show up in search. When someone Googles “home addition contractor in [city]” or “commercial general contractor near me,” your business should be in the top results—not on page four.

Here’s how SEO helps general contractors grow:

  • You show up where high-intent clients are searching
    We optimize your site for keywords like kitchen remodel SEO, custom home builder [city], and ADU contractor near me—so you rank for the work you want.

  • You build credibility before they ever call
    A strong site with consistent Google visibility instantly communicates professionalism, especially compared to fly-by-night competitors.

  • You generate leads while you work (or sleep)
    Our strategy includes content that compounds: blog posts about permitting timelines, FAQs on costs, and project case studies—all designed to rank and convert.

What the Best Contractor Websites Have in Common

The best general contractor websites are built to convert—not just sit pretty. They:

  • Speak clearly about what services you offer (e.g., new builds, additions, remodeling)

  • Include fast-loading project galleries with alt text for SEO (e.g., “kitchen renovation by [your business]”)

  • Guide users toward the next step—request a bid, book a call, or view service areas

  • Include testimonials, licenses, badges, and FAQs to build trust

  • Connect to your Google Business Profile, Yelp, Houzz, and local directories for EEAT-boosting backlinks

A strong site should also be built to grow with you. That means clean structure, easy updates, and SEO-optimized content that gets picked up and indexed.

We design every contractor site to help you scale—so your website becomes a lead-generation asset, not just an online business card.
