The "Visibility Gap" Problem
Your project portfolio for kitchen remodels and deck installations gets overshadowed by flashy national chains like Home Depot in AI-generated search results for 'local home renovation contractors'
Local homeowners ignore your bids because AI summaries favor competitors with better-optimized service pages
Seasonal job surges for storm-damaged roof repairs hit hard when your site doesn't appear in voice searches like 'emergency roofing contractor near me after hailstorm'
Client relationships suffer as potential repeat business goes to contractors who dominate AI-driven discovery
Wasted ad dollars on Google when AI search engines bypass traditional rankings for contractor queries
Bidding on bathroom remodel jobs loses steam because your expertise in plumbing integration and tile selection isn't cited in generative AI responses to homeowner questions like 'cost of bathroom remodel in [city]'

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our site was invisible when folks searched for 'reliable contractor in Denver for basement finishing.' After their custom setup, we're top in AI results for remodel queries, landing three $50K kitchen jobs in the first quarter alone, including a full gut-and-rebuild that closed in under 30 days. It's like having a digital foreman working 24/7 on lead gen."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Custom Remodeling, Denver, CO
"We handle a lot of emergency repairs, but voice searches for 'leaky roof fix after storm in Seattle' weren't finding us. Their AI SEO fixed that—now ChatGPT recommends us first, and we've seen a 40% uptick in off-season calls for shingle replacements and gutter installs. Implementation took just two weeks, and the results have held steady for six months."
Sarah Thompson
Project Manager, Thompson Roofing & Repairs, Seattle, WA
"Juggling bids for commercial-to-residential conversions was tough with our old SEO. AIQ's tailored system optimized our pages for generative search, pulling in leads from Google SGE on 'cost of home office remodel' that converted to a $200K contract last month for wiring and drywall work. No fluff, just real workflow improvements that cut our bidding time in half."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AI SEO differ from traditional SEO for my contracting business?
Traditional SEO chases keywords for Google rankings, but AI SEO optimizes for generative engines like ChatGPT that summarize and cite sources. For general contractors, this means structuring your site so AI pulls your expertise on topics like 'average cost of a garage addition' directly into responses. We've seen contractors gain 50% more visibility this way, as 45% of searches now use AI. Our custom build analyzes your project data to create authoritative content that gets cited, driving leads without relying on volatile ad spend. It's like upgrading from a basic blueprint to a 3D model—more precise and future-proof.
What kind of results can I expect in the first few months?
Realistic timelines vary, but most clients see initial traffic lifts within 4-6 weeks. For a mid-sized contractor, that's often 30-40% more organic visits from AI sources, translating to 10-15 additional leads per month for services like kitchen remodels. One client in Phoenix hit 2x inquiries after optimizing for 'pool installation contractors.' We track everything via a custom dashboard, adjusting based on your local market dynamics. Full ROI kicks in by month three, with sustained growth as AI engines index your updates—far outperforming generic tools that plateau quickly.
Will this integrate with my existing tools like estimating software?
Absolutely. We design for seamless compatibility with platforms like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks, pulling in data like past job quotes to inform SEO content. For instance, if your estimates show average roofing costs, our AI uses that to create optimized guides that rank in generative searches. This creates a feedback loop: SEO leads feed into your CRM, auto-populating bids. No more manual entry errors that plague 60% of contractors. Our two-way integrations ensure everything flows, saving your team hours during busy seasons like post-storm repairs.
How much does a custom AI SEO solution cost for a general contractor?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a foundational build, scaling to $15,000+ based on your site's complexity and integrations—like linking to project management tools. This is a one-time investment for ownership, not endless subscriptions that average $2,000 yearly for lesser tools. Compare that to the $50K+ in lost bids from poor visibility; our clients recoup costs in 4-6 months via new projects. We offer flexible payment over implementation, with no hidden fees. It's enterprise-grade value tailored to SMB contractors, ensuring you own a system that pays dividends for years.
Is this suitable if my business is mostly local and word-of-mouth driven?
Yes, especially for local contractors—AI search is amplifying online discovery for services like home additions. Even if 70% of your leads are referrals, the remaining 30% from searches can double your pipeline. We customize for hyper-local factors, like optimizing for 'general contractor in [your city]' in AI responses. A client in Atlanta, reliant on community ties, gained 25 steady leads quarterly after our setup, blending digital reach with their relationship focus. It's not about replacing handshakes; it's enhancing them with visible online authority that attracts serious homeowners.
How do you ensure the SEO stays effective as AI search changes?
AI evolves fast, so our solutions include quarterly audits and updates, baked into the ownership model. We monitor shifts in engines like Perplexity or Bing Copilot, adapting your optimizations—say, refining how your electrical wiring expertise gets summarized. With built-in modularity, tweaks take days, not months, keeping you ahead. Clients report sustained 20-30% annual growth, unlike static SEO that fades. Think of it as ongoing site maintenance, but automated and proactive, aligned with your workflow to handle everything from minor content refreshes to major algorithm pivots.
