Marketing for Home & Trade Services Businesses
For contractors, restoration, HVAC and the trades, growth is won locally: the map pack, the reviews, and a site that turns a visit into a phone call. We run all three to cost per booked job.
Cost per click is not the number that pays your crews.
Home and trade services marketing is usually sold on traffic and clicks, which is the wrong unit entirely. What matters is booked jobs at a cost that leaves margin — and whether the phone rings during the season that carries the year.
Northbound runs local visibility and paid search as one system tuned to cost per booked job. Map pack presence where the work is, a review programme that keeps you competitive, and a site built to convert on a phone in the middle of a job.
- Managed to cost per booked job, not cost per click
- Map pack visibility across every area you serve
- Reviews treated as an ongoing programme
- Seasonal demand planned for before it arrives

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Service-area coverage is largely a site architecture and local SEO problem: each area needs a genuine reason to rank, not the same page with the town name swapped.
We plan for it. Budget and visibility work shift ahead of your peak so you are already ranking when demand arrives, rather than starting when the phone has already gone quiet.
Where your intake process allows it, yes — that is the number we would rather manage to. Where it does not, we start with tracked calls and work toward it.
No. These are priority verticals where we bring direct experience, not a limit on who we will work with.
Keep the crews booked and the cost per job under control.
