Contractors and home services
Marketing for contractors and home services that rings the phone
When a pipe bursts or the AC quits, people call one of the first few names they see. MarketPup sets up your service-area listings, reviews and local pages so yours is one of them.
In short: For contractors and home services, MarketPup sets up your service-area listings, reviews and local pages so you show up when someone needs help fast. The usual fit is the Fetch plan at $699 a month, month to month, after a free Mini Sniff. MarketPup is based in Charlotte, NC and works with businesses across the United States.
How homeowners choose a pro
Home service searches are urgent and local. People search on a phone, look at the map, check the stars and how recent the reviews are, and call. Many trades work from home or a yard, so the listing has to show where you work without showing your home address. Licensing, insurance and clear service areas build the trust that gets the call.
What we'd fix first
- A service-area listing. Google, Apple and Bing maps set up as a service-area business, with your home address hidden and the towns you cover listed.
- Click-to-call everywhere. One phone number used the same way on your profiles, site and directories.
- A page for each main service. Separate pages for, say, water heater repair and drain cleaning, each naming the areas you serve, so search engines can match the job to you.
- Proof of trust. License and insurance details you give us, shown on your site and profiles where they belong.
Ongoing work that suits the trades
- Google Ads on Search and Maps, run in your own account, aimed at the towns you serve and the hours you take calls.
- Review requests after each job, with a one-tap link you can text or print on an invoice.
- Job photos added to your profile every week from the pictures your crew sends.
- 2 local pages or posts a month on seasonal jobs, like furnace tune-ups in fall.

We never promise rankings, reviews or a number of customers. Nothing goes live on your profiles, site or ad accounts without your yes, and the monthly report uses your own analytics.
Questions
I work from home. Will my address show?
No. We set your listings up as a service-area business, which shows the areas you cover and hides your street address.
Do you sell leads?
No. We don't sell or share leads. Calls and messages come straight to you from your own listings, site and ads.
Can you advertise in towns where I don't have an office?
Yes, ads can target the towns you serve. Map listings follow each platform's rules, which usually means one listing per real business location.
