Siding, windows, doors, full exterior transformations. You compete against storm chasers with a clipboard and national brands with a call centre, and both of them get to the homeowner before the search does. The way past them is being the obvious local answer when the homeowner finally looks.
The terms, before you get on a call with us.
A homeowner replacing siding has usually been knocked on, cold called and pitched in a mall kiosk before they ever type anything into Google. By the time they search, their default assumption is that they are about to be worked.
Out-of-state crews follow the weather, sell hard, subcontract the install and leave. Every homeowner in a hail market has heard about it, and it is the lens they read your website through.
The window and siding franchises spend at a level no local contractor can match on the obvious terms. Fighting them on "window replacement" is expensive; going around them is not.
Exterior work is urgent in a way a kitchen is not. Something is leaking, rotting or failing inspection. A four-hour callback is a lost job, no matter how good the work is.
Everything here is aimed at the one decision the homeowner is making, which is whether you are the real thing or another guy in a truck.
Licence, insurance, manufacturer certifications, the Google Guaranteed badge, warranty terms in plain words. In this trade the trust signals are the offer.
Homeowners search siding by product and by symptom. Pages for the specific materials you install and the specific failures you fix, which is where the national brands are not competing.
Sixty-second text, email and voicemail on every enquiry, including the ones that come in at nine at night after a storm. Being reachable is the highest-yield thing we can change.
Finished exteriors are the most visible advertising in construction. Ads targeted to the neighbourhoods you have just worked in, showing the house you just did.
The national franchises own the generic terms and always will. What they do not own is the homeowner who searches by product name or by the thing that is going wrong, and those two groups convert far better.
A homeowner naming a product has done the research and is close to buying. Low competition, high intent.
Urgent, specific, and almost entirely uncontested by the big spenders.
Map pack and Local Services Ads decide it. Reviews, the Google Guaranteed badge and response time are the ranking factors that matter.
Siding, windows and trim on the same house is a single mobilisation, one set of staging and one homeowner conversation, and it more than doubles the contract against siding alone. The homeowners who buy it are almost never the ones who searched for it as a package; they searched for one problem and were shown the rest well.
So the funnel has two jobs. Get found on the single-item searches, then make the full exterior the obvious decision in the estimate. That second half is a photography and proposal problem more than a marketing one, and we will tell you when it is the thing holding you back.
Speed to lead is worth more here than in any other trade we work in. Exterior enquiries carry a deadline, sometimes a leak, sometimes an insurance adjuster, sometimes a closing date. A contractor who replies in a minute and books the same week wins jobs from better contractors who replied the next morning.
Typical installed ranges, not our prices. Yours will differ by market and spec.
Exterior engagements usually lead with Local Services Ads and the CRM, because the trust badge and the response time move the needle fastest.

Not on the broadest paid terms, and we will not pretend otherwise. On the map pack, on specific materials and on symptom searches, yes, consistently, because those are the places the franchise budgets are not pointed.
