You close big jobs. You do quality work. But when a homeowner or property manager Googles your trade in your city — your competitor shows up first. We fix that. Fast. And we make sure you show up when they ask AI too.

The problem

Your competition is winning jobs
you should be closing

You didn't build a $1M+ operation by cutting corners on your work. But your digital presence? It's costing you real money every single week.

Property managers, homeowners, and commercial clients search Google before they call anyone. If you're not on that first page — with a site that looks like you take pride in your work — that call goes to someone else.

  • Your website looks like it was built in 2012 and nobody's touched it since
  • You're not showing up when someone searches your trade in your city
  • Leads call after hours, get no answer, and call the next company on the list
  • You have 8 Google reviews — your competitor has 140
  • Your best work is invisible because there's no project gallery or case studies online
  • You're spending on HomeStars or Kijiji leads when Google should be sending them for free
Real site audit — trades contractor 3 critical issues found
Placeholder text live on testimonials page Lorem ipsum still showing where real client reviews should be. This is what customers see when they're deciding whether to call you. Fixed in 24 hours.
No mobile optimization — 63% of visitors bouncing Site loads fine on desktop. On a phone — the device your customers are actually using — the contact form is cut off and the phone number isn't tappable.
!
Google Business Profile unclaimed or outdated Your single biggest free lead source — completely neglected. No service area set, no photos, no review responses. Competitors are filling this gap daily.
What this costs you Conservatively 3–5 inbound leads per month going to competitors. At your average job value, that's $15K–$40K/month in missed revenue.

This is a real audit from a real Southern Ontario trades company. We ran it in 20 minutes — and fixed everything in a week.

How it works

Found on Google.
Live in as few
as 5 days.

We've built a system specifically for trades businesses. You don't manage a project. You answer a few questions — we build the rest. Most clients see their first inbound call within 30 days of launch.

One outcome:

Built for where things are going

Your competitors aren't
AI-ready.
You will be.

Homeowners used to open the Yellow Pages. Then they Googled. Now they're asking ChatGPT, Siri, and Google's AI Overview: "Who's the best HVAC contractor near me?"

The businesses that show up in those AI answers are the ones with well-structured websites, strong Google profiles, and consistent reviews. That's exactly what we build. We're not just making you look good today — we're making sure you're found however people search tomorrow.

Structured for AI search
We build your site so AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview can read and recommend your business — not just human visitors.
AI chat that works while you work
An AI assistant on your site answers common questions, qualifies leads, and captures contact info at 11pm on a Saturday — then texts you instantly so you can call back first.
Reputation that compounds
AI systems weight heavily toward businesses with consistent 5-star reviews. Our automated review system builds that reputation passively — without you asking a single customer manually.
AI search result preview AI-ready
Someone just asked Google AI:

"Who is the best HVAC contractor in Hamilton Ontario?"

AI Overview response:
[Your Company Name]

Highly rated HVAC contractor in Hamilton with 85+ five-star Google reviews. Specializes in residential and commercial AC installation and furnace repair. Serving Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, and Burlington.

★★★★★ 4.9 (85 reviews) yourcompany.ca

This is what being AI-ready looks like. Strong site structure + consistent reviews + optimized Google profile = your business showing up in AI search answers. We build all three.

Proof of work

We know how
trades businesses work

We've built digital systems for specialty contractors across Southern Ontario — companies that close $50K–$500K jobs and were invisible online before working with us.

Asphalt Paving · Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge
T. Weber Co. Ltd.
3rd generation family business · 50+ years · Commercial + Residential

Site was solid but wasn't being used to drive commercial contracts. No dedicated funnel for property managers or condo corporations — their highest-value clients. No seasonal campaign structure for snow plowing or spring seal coat season.

"TradeRank understood our commercial focus from the first call. They didn't just build a website — they built a sales tool." — Tim Weber, T. Weber Co. Ltd.
Helical Piles + Foundation · Ontario-wide
Mascore Helical Piles
B2B supplier to landscapers + deck contractors · National dealer network

Strong content but zero strategy around dealer/installer recruitment — their primary growth lever. Landscapers and deck contractors across Canada couldn't find a clear path to become Mascore installers. LinkedIn presence barely existed despite serving a LinkedIn-native buyer.

Fall Arrest Systems · Toronto + US Markets
Ferro Anchors
B2B engineering · Clients include Toronto Zoo, Canadian Forces, US Army

Serving the US Army and Toronto Zoo — but their testimonials page had Lorem Ipsum placeholder text live on the public site. Major clients buried. No lead capture for their recurring inspection business. The site didn't reflect the calibre of work they actually do.

"They called out something embarrassing on our site before we even hired them. That told us everything we needed to know about how they work." — Anthony Sabatini P.Eng, Ferro Anchors
Trucking + Aggregates · Hamilton–Niagara–GTA
Haulland Trucking
Aggregate delivery + materials supply · Pool builders, landscapers, excavators

Functional site but a major story was being left untold — Haulland and Total Excavation operate as one seamless service, meaning a single call gets you both aggregate delivery and excavation. That bundled value wasn't anywhere on the site. Pool builders and landscapers — their highest-volume clients — had no dedicated page to find them.

Why TradeRank

Not a generic agency.
Trades-only.

Every web agency says they work with contractors. We only work with contractors. That difference shows up in the copy we write, the sites we build, and the results we get.

Live in as few as 5 days

We've built and refined one great system for trades businesses. We don't start from scratch. We don't disappear for six weeks. Most Foundation sites go live in five business days — because that's when your leads start coming in, not when we feel like finishing.

🎯
We speak trades

We know the difference between a residential and commercial paving job. We know that HVAC demand spikes twice a year. We know that fall protection is a regulated B2B sale. That knowledge is in the copy we write for your site — and it converts.

📊
Results you can see

Every retainer client gets a monthly report — written in plain English, not agency speak. How many people found you on Google, how your rankings moved, how many new reviews came in, and how many calls came from your site. The numbers that tell you whether you're getting ROI.

🔒
You own everything

Your site files are backed up and fully portable. Your domain is yours. If you ever leave us (you won't want to), you walk away with everything — files, content, domain. No hostage hosting. No vendor lock-in. This is how we'd want it done if we were the client.

📱
Built for mobile-first

63% of your potential customers are searching from a phone. Every site we build is designed for the phone first and desktop second. Fast load times, tap-to-call buttons, forms that actually work on a thumb.

🤝
No surprises

Flat monthly retainer. No hidden fees. Scope defined in writing before we start. Two revision rounds included. Extra requests billed transparently at a clear hourly rate. You'll know exactly what you're paying for every month.

Common questions

Straight answers

How much does this cost?

We don't post prices publicly because every site is scoped after a free audit — a 4-page Foundation site for a small painting company is priced differently than a 10-page Dominance package for a commercial HVAC operation. What we will say: one closed job from your new site covers our fees for years. We'll show you the math in your audit call.

Do I really need to do anything?

About 30–45 minutes of your time. You fill in our intake form, send us your logo and any job site photos you have, and show up for a 20-minute launch call on Day 5. We write the copy, build the site, set up the integrations, and handle everything technical. You don't need to know what any of that means.

What if I already have a website?

Then you need a better one. Most trades websites we look at are costing their owners leads every week — broken mobile experience, no Google Business Profile connection, no clear CTA, zero SEO structure. Book a free audit and we'll tell you exactly what's wrong with your current site — no obligation, no sales pressure.

How long until I see results?

First leads typically appear within 30 days — often from the Google Business Profile optimization before the SEO even kicks in. Organic search rankings typically start moving in 60–90 days. The review automation starts working from Day 5. By Month 3, most clients have seen a measurable increase in inbound calls.

Can you help with Google Ads too?

Yes — it's part of our Dominance package. We focus on Google Local Services Ads (the ones where you only pay per actual call or message) because they're the most efficient ad spend for local trades businesses. We set up and manage everything. You set a budget; we make it go further than you could alone.

What makes you different from other agencies?

Three things: we only work with trades businesses, so we're not learning your industry on your dollar. We deliver fast — most Foundation sites are live within 5 business days, not 6–8 weeks. And we stay on as your monthly partner — not a vendor who disappears after launch. Most of our clients come from referrals from other contractors we've worked with.

What if I want to cancel the retainer?

Month-to-month after the initial 6-month term. You own your site files and your domain — we encourage new clients to start with 6 months because that's how long it takes to see the full SEO benefit, and most clients don't want to cancel after that. But there's no multi-year lock-in.

Do you serve my city?

We're based in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area and work with trades contractors across Southern Ontario — Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Burlington, Niagara, Oakville, and surrounding areas. If you're outside this region, reach out anyway — we take on select clients province-wide.

Free. No obligation. 20 minutes.
