The 4-Step Process

Every client goes through the same framework. It’s what makes results predictable.

1
Week 1

Free Audit & Discovery Call

Before we talk about working together, we pull your actual data and show you exactly where you stand — no pitch, no pressure. Most contractors are surprised by what they find.

What we audit
  • Google Business Profile — completeness, review velocity, and map pack ranking
  • Website — mobile performance, page speed, SEO structure, and conversion flow
  • Top 3 local competitors — what they’re doing that you’re not
  • Current keyword rankings — where you show up and where you’re invisible

We bring everything to a 30-minute call and walk through it honestly. If something’s working, we’ll say so. If something’s costing you jobs, we’ll show you the data.

Weeks 1–2

Custom Strategy & Proposal

If we’re a fit, we build a strategy specific to your trade, your market, and your goals — not a template pulled off a shelf. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you sign anything.

What the strategy covers
  • Keyword targeting — the specific searches your customers use in your city
  • Competitive gap analysis — where your competitors rank and what it takes to pass them
  • Service and location priorities — which opportunities to go after first
  • Realistic month-by-month milestones — no empty promises, just honest timelines

You receive a written proposal with clear scope, deliverables, and pricing. No surprises. No hidden fees. You sign only when you’re fully comfortable.

Weeks 2–4

Build & Launch

Month one is the most intensive. We move fast to build the foundation that everything else runs on — so you start seeing traction as early as possible.

What gets built in month one
  • Website — mobile-first, SEO-ready, conversion-optimized — delivered in 10–14 days
  • Google Business Profile — every field completed, photos optimized, weekly post cadence started
  • Citation building — 40+ high-authority directories submitted for consistent local signals
  • On-page SEO — service pages and location pages written and published
  • Technical SEO — schema markup, meta tags, page speed fixes, Search Console verified
  • Google Ads — campaign built and live (if included in your plan)

Month 2 and Beyond

Optimize, Grow & Report

This is where most agencies go quiet. We don’t. Month two and beyond is consistent monthly execution with transparent reporting — so you always know what’s moving and why.

What you get every month
  • Weekly GBP posts keeping your profile active and relevant in search
  • Fresh content — blog posts, service expansions, and new location pages targeting more keywords
  • Google Ads optimization — search term review, bid adjustments, A/B ad copy testing
  • Plain-English monthly report — rankings, traffic, GBP metrics, and ad performance in one place
  • Direct access to your strategist — no ticket system, no runaround, real response times

SEO compounds. The work done in month one pays off in month three, month six, and year two. We stay consistent so you don’t have to think about it.

Why Contractors Choose Blue Collar Bump

We’re not a general agency that dabbles in trades. This is all we do.

Built for Trades Only

No restaurants, no law firms, no e-commerce. We know your customers, your seasonality, and your sales cycle because we’ve lived it.

Full Transparency

You see every deliverable, every ranking change, every dollar spent on ads. No mystery. No “trust us, it’s working.”

No Long-Term Lock-In

Month-to-month after the first 90 days. We earn your business every month — not because a contract forces you to stay.

One-to-One Access

You work directly with your strategist — not an account coordinator, not a junior rep. Real access to the person doing the work.

Results-First Mentality

Every dollar of your budget is tied to an outcome — more calls, more form fills, more jobs booked. Vanity metrics don’t pay your crew.

Fast Execution

Website in 14 days. GBP live in week one. Ads running in the first month. We don’t do 90-day onboarding timelines while your competitors win jobs.
