How trades searches work in Southern California
Southern California is a spread-out region made up of many separate cities, and customers search by city name. Warm weather keeps air conditioning in demand, and customers expect to see that a contractor is licensed. Pages for the cities you serve work better than one page for the whole region.
- Air conditioning and heating work is a big source of local searches
- Many separate cities mean many different local searches
- Showing your state license number and insurance clearly builds trust
- Licensing rules vary by state and sometimes by city, so show your license number and insurance clearly on every page
Common local searches
These are the kinds of searches your pages should be ready for:
- "AC repair Los Angeles"
- "roofing contractor San Diego"
- "licensed electrician Orange County"
- "remodeling contractor Riverside"
What we would build for a Southern California trades business
- One page for each main service, written in the words local homeowners use
- Pages for the cities and neighborhoods you really serve, for example Los Angeles, San Diego or Orange County, each with something specific to say
- Click-to-call, text and a short estimate request on every page
- Fast mobile pages and clean technical SEO so Google can read every page
- Help setting up your Google Business Profile as a service-area business, if you work from home
