    What a general contractor website has to do

    A homeowner wants to see work like theirs and know you are licensed, insured and easy to reach. A commercial buyer wants project scope, safety record and bonding. The site has to convert both into estimate requests, bid invitations and consultation calls, and it has to make your process feel organized. What usually breaks is a slow homepage stuffed with full-size photos, a portfolio with no descriptions, a services page that lists twenty things without detail, and a contact form with no idea of project type or budget.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    • License and insurance proofLicense number, insurance and bonding status visible on every page footer and a dedicated credentials page.
    • Estimate request formA form that captures project type, location, budget range and timeline so estimators can prioritize.
    • Service area pagesA page for each town or county you serve with local projects and permitting notes.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for general contractors the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.
