Where referrals now end up
A neighbour's recommendation is still how many Delray jobs begin, but it rarely ends there. The homeowner, or a son or daughter helping them, searches the company name, reads the reviews and checks the website before calling. If the name does not show up well, the referral is lost.
That makes branded and local visibility equally important. Your Google Business Profile should be complete, current and full of reviews that describe real jobs. Your website should answer the questions a cautious buyer asks: who you are, how long you have been around, how you handle the work and what it might cost.
For new customers who do not have a referral, the map pack decides. Google ranks local results mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, so a profile with the right categories, detailed services and steady reviews has a real advantage over competitors who set theirs up once and forgot it.
Delray's housing mix means different searches. Condo boards look for commercial-capable contractors, owners of older homes search for replacements and repairs, and seasonal residents search for maintenance and inspections before they return. We build pages for each.
We report every month on map positions for the searches that bring work, calls and forms from search, and the reviews and links added, so you can see the progress in plain terms.
