What It Costs to Work With Gridwork
Predictable lead flow is not free. With the right foundation, it more than pays for itself.
Pricing
Your market. Your goals. Your program.
Most agencies sell three tiers so the middle one looks reasonable. There are two here, and the second is scoped, not a menu price.

A direct line to John
Not an account manager, not a rotating team. The person building your strategy is the person you talk to.
Local SEO that matches 2026
Built around how contractors actually get found now — maps, AI overviews, the lot.
Content on your best services
Ranking for the work that makes you the most money, not whatever is easiest to write.
Google Business Profile, managed
Optimized and actively maintained, not set up once and abandoned.
Monthly reporting you can read
Plain English, with a video walkthrough. Calls and jobs, not vanity metrics.
You own 100% of it
Website, content, profile history. If we part ways, all of it leaves with you.
Why not cheaper
We are not the cheapest. That is the point.
Cheap SEO is worse than no SEO. Low-cost agencies churn through clients on volume. Gridwork takes on a limited number of contractors and treats each engagement like it is the only one.
Contractor-only focus
We work exclusively with home service contractors. Every framework and content system is shaped by how your customers search and how your market works.
Demand capture first
Most agencies sell content and social before the search foundation is solid. We build the capture infrastructure first: local SEO, GBP, technical health.
You own it all
Unlike agencies that lease you a templated site and keep it if you cancel, everything Gridwork builds belongs to you.
Not ready yet?
What if I am not ready for ongoing SEO?
A monthly investment is a real commitment, and the honest answer is that SEO compounds. The first few months build the foundation. Months three through six are when traction starts. By month nine you have a system that keeps working whether you are on site or not.
Pulling back too early is the most common mistake we see.You do not stall out from doing SEO wrong. You stall out from stopping too soon.
If you want to see the roadmap before you commit, that is a fair conversation. Reach out and we will talk through what makes sense for where you are.

How the investment pays off.
We build the foundation first
Technical site health, GBP, citations and on-page structure before anything else. The foundation determines everything that comes after.
We make your data tell a story
A plain-English report every month with a video walkthrough, so you know how SEO is turning into calls and jobs.
We think like your customers
We research how people in your market actually search, then build pages around those exact queries.
We work only with contractors
No splitting attention between e-commerce, SaaS and restaurants. Every system here was built and refined for home service businesses.
We stay ahead of search
Local search, AI Overviews, Google Maps, Apple Maps. The landscape shifts; we test consistently and keep you visible.
You work directly with John
No account managers, no junior staff fielding your questions. The person building it is the person you reach.

Working with John has been a great experience. He is very detailed when it came to building each page of our website. He is currently working on our local SEO. He also does all the market research for your area like in Asheville or your exact market. He makes it easy and you feel like a part of the team.
What contractors is this built for?
Home service companies doing $500K or more in annual revenue who are ready to stop depending on referrals for growth. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, landscaping, tree services, and similar trades. If you have the skills and the crew but not the call volume, this is built for you.
How long until I see results?
Most clients start to see real traction between 6 and 9 months. But we look for quick wins during your SEO assessment in Week 1, and you will see activity and movement from day one through your strategy sessions and monthly reports. You will never wonder what we are actually working on.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month. Our retention is based on your results, not paperwork. If it is not working, you walk away and take everything we built with you.
What if I have been burned by an agency before?
I hear this on almost every strategy call. Here is what is different: you talk to me directly, every time. You see the data every month. You own everything we build. And you can leave whenever you want. Most agencies sell you tactics; Gridwork builds you infrastructure you understand and keep.
Do I have to build a new website?
Not necessarily. We start with an assessment. If your current site has a solid foundation, we build on what is there. If it is holding you back, we will tell you exactly why, with data.
Can my investment grow over time?
Yes. Many clients start with the Gridwork Momentum System and move into a custom engagement as their market expands or they add locations. We scope it around where you are and where you are going.
