What we do
Services we provide in Seattle
SEO
Seattle is the highest-competition SEO market in Washington. Ranking here requires neighborhood-level targeting, because "plumber Capitol Hill" and "plumber Ballard" are different searches with different competitors. We build location-specific pages and content strategies that capture long-tail traffic across the metro.
Google Ads
Seattle home service CPCs run $10 to $40+ per click depending on the trade and keyword. At those rates, broad match campaigns bleed budget fast. We run tightly segmented campaigns with negative keyword lists built from managing accounts across the metro, so your spend goes toward clicks that actually convert.
Web Design
Seattle buyers are tech-literate and compare 3 to 5 options before calling. Your site needs to load fast, look credible on mobile, and communicate your value in the first scroll. We build sites that convert in a market where hundreds of competitors are bidding for the same attention.
GEO
AI search adoption is highest in tech-heavy metros. Seattle residents are already using ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to find local services. GEO positions your business to appear in those AI-generated recommendations.

What advertising costs in Seattle
Seattle is the largest and most competitive home service market in Washington. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners search Google every month for plumbers, roofers, HVAC technicians, painters, and electricians.
How Seattle trades search
Roofers in Seattle
Seattle gets 37 inches of rain a year, and that rain is relentless on roofing materials. Moss growth, membrane failure, and gutter damage are constant problems for homeowners across the city. Older neighborhoods like Ballard, Wallingford, and Beacon Hill have homes from the 1920s through 1950s with cedar shake roofs that need full replacement. When a Seattle homeowner spots a leak or sees moss spreading, they search for a roofer that day. Roof replacement projects are planned during dry summer months, but repair searches are year-round. The businesses that show up first with strong reviews and clear service areas win the call. We help roofers be visible across every Seattle neighborhood when homeowners need them most.
HVAC in Seattle
Seattle HVAC demand runs on two cycles. Furnace and heat pump searches spike in winter, while AC searches have grown dramatically over the past several years as summer temperatures now regularly reach the 90s. Most pre-2000 Seattle homes were built without central air, and the 2021 heat dome accelerated AC adoption across the city. When a furnace fails in January or a home hits 95 degrees in August, the homeowner searches Google and calls whoever shows up first. Seattle traffic also means homeowners want a provider close to their neighborhood, not across the city. We make sure your HVAC business shows up in the right neighborhoods at the right time.
Plumbers in Seattle
Seattle has the highest plumbing search volume of any metro in Washington. Aging pipes in Capitol Hill, the Central District, and Georgetown drive steady demand for sewer line repair, water heater replacement, and re-piping. Sewer scope and trenchless repair searches are growing as homeowners discover lateral line issues during home inspections and real estate transactions. When a pipe bursts or a water heater fails, the homeowner searches Google and calls the first plumber with strong reviews and a professional online presence. We help plumbers show up for those urgent searches across every Seattle neighborhood.
Painters in Seattle
Seattle exterior painting compresses into a 5-month window from May through September. The rain and humidity make prep work more demanding, and homeowners plan their projects months in advance, researching painters online before requesting estimates. Interior painting demand is steady year-round. Older craftsman and Tudor homes in neighborhoods like Wallingford, Ravenna, and Queen Anne command higher project values and attract homeowners who care about quality and attention to detail. Painting is a considered purchase. Homeowners compare portfolios, read reviews, and evaluate websites before calling. We help painters build the online presence that wins those projects.
Electricians in Seattle
Seattle electrical demand is surging. Panel upgrades for EV chargers and heat pumps, knob-and-tube rewiring in pre-1950 homes, and EV charger installation are the biggest drivers. The state push toward electrification and Seattle City Light rebate programs create strong search demand for these services. Commercial electrical work in South Lake Union and the Denny Triangle adds business-to-business opportunity that most residential electricians overlook. Homeowners and businesses searching for an electrician want someone licensed, responsive, and available. We make sure your business is the one they find.

FAQ
Seattle marketing FAQ
SEO starts at $1,500 per month with a 6-month initial commitment, then month-to-month after that. Seattle is the most competitive market in Washington, so timelines are longer than smaller cities. Most Seattle clients see meaningful ranking movement within 4 to 8 months depending on the service type and target neighborhoods. Google Ads management starts at $750 per month plus ad spend and generates leads within the first week. We recommend running both channels together so you get immediate leads from Ads while SEO builds compounding traffic over time.
Our headquarters is in Kirkland, about 15 minutes from downtown Seattle via SR-520. We meet clients in person at our Kirkland office, at your Seattle location, or over video. We have worked with Seattle businesses since 2018 and know the neighborhood-level dynamics across Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, and the rest of the metro. Most of our Seattle clients started as referrals from Eastside businesses who saw results and recommended us to colleagues across the bridge.
Google Ads generates leads within the first week of launching a campaign. SEO takes longer because Seattle is the most competitive market in Washington. For long-tail keywords targeting specific neighborhoods like Ballard or West Seattle, most clients see first-page rankings within 4 to 6 months. Broader head terms like "contractor Seattle" or "plumber Seattle" typically take 6 to 10 months. The businesses that show up in the top 3 organic results and the Map Pack get the majority of calls. Everyone else is effectively invisible to Seattle homeowners searching for help.
We work primarily with home service businesses: contractors, remodelers, HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, roofers, painters, and landscapers. We also serve therapists and medical practices. Seattle is a dense metro where each trade faces different competitive dynamics by neighborhood. A roofer in Ballard competes against a completely different set of businesses than one serving Georgetown or Beacon Hill. We build industry-specific strategies that account for those differences rather than running one generic campaign for the whole city.
Seattle has the highest online advertising costs and strongest SEO competition in Washington state. Hundreds of service businesses, national franchises, and lead aggregators are all competing for the same homeowner searches. That means broad, unfocused campaigns burn through budgets quickly. The opportunity is in precision. We target specific neighborhoods, specific services, and specific buyer intent so your marketing spend reaches the homeowners most likely to call. Businesses that invest in a focused strategy here earn high-value customers because Seattle homeowners have larger project budgets and are willing to pay for quality work.
If you need leads this month, start with Google Ads. If you want to build a lead source that compounds over time without paying for every click, invest in SEO. Most of our Seattle clients run both. Ads deliver immediate leads while SEO builds long-term organic visibility. Over 6 to 12 months, our clients typically shift more budget toward SEO as their rankings improve and organic leads grow. The right mix depends on your service type, competition level, and how quickly you need to fill your schedule.
Three things set us apart. First, we are an 11-person in-house team with 101 five-star reviews at a 5.0 rating. No contractors, no offshore work. The people you talk to are the people doing the work. Second, we treat Seattle as a collection of micro-markets, not one giant city. We build neighborhood-level strategies because "plumber Capitol Hill" and "plumber West Seattle" are completely different competitive landscapes. Third, our contracts are short. Three months for Google Ads, six months for SEO, then month-to-month. We earn your business every month instead of locking you into a long-term deal.
