Local SEO for Contractors in Maple Ridge, BC — Show Up When Homeowners Search 'Near Me'

Here's a quick test. Pull out your phone and Google your trade plus your city. Something like “roofer Maple Ridge” or “painter near me.” Are you in the top three results that show up with the map? That section, the one with the map and three businesses listed, is called the map pack. That's where most homeowners stop looking. If you're not there, you're invisible to the people searching for exactly what you do.

There are a few reasons this happens. Your Google listing might be half-filled-out: missing services, wrong hours, no photos, or a description that doesn't mention your trade or your city. You might have 6 or 8 reviews while your competitor has 47. Your website, if you have one, might not mention the specific services you offer or the areas you serve, so Google doesn't know to connect you with local searches.

The result is the same either way: homeowners who need your services are finding and hiring your competition. In a market like the Fraser Valley, where residential growth is bringing more demand but also more contractors, the ones who show up on Google are filling their schedules. The ones who don't are relying on word of mouth and hoping the phone rings. And during the slow months, November through February, that hope dries up fast.

The Fraser Valley is one of the fastest-growing regions in BC. More homes being built, more renovations happening, and more homeowners going online to find contractors. That growth is great for business, but only if those homeowners can actually find you.

Right now, most contractors in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Mission, Langley, and Abbotsford have a weak Google presence. Incomplete listings, few reviews, no website content targeting local searches. The bar is low, which is actually good news for you. Getting your online presence dialed in now, while your competitors are still ignoring it, gives you a head start that compounds month after month. Every new review, every optimized page, every week your listing is active. It all builds on itself.

Most homeowners don't scroll past the first three results on Google Maps. If you're not in that map pack, you might as well not exist for that search. And during seasonal slowdowns, the contractors who've been building their Google presence stay visible while everyone else disappears. That's the difference between a rough winter and a steady one.

Here's what you get: someone with 25+ years in tech, including a decade in the Salesforce ecosystem, who understands how search engines decide what to show. But more importantly, someone who explains it in plain English. Here's the plain version: your business shows up when homeowners Google your trade in your area. That's the job.

One client saw a 199% increase in bookings after getting their Google listing optimized and their website content built out. That's what happens when homeowners can actually find you.

Everything is $97 a month. No setup fee. No contracts. Cancel anytime.

I hear “I paid an SEO company before and nothing happened” from a lot of contractors. Reports full of jargon, no real results, locked into a contract for 12 months. I don't do that. You work directly with me. I explain what I'm doing and why. And if it's not working, you walk away. No cancellation fees, no fine print.
