Local SEO & Paid Ads for Design-Build Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Local SEO puts your firm in front of buyers actively searching for a design-build contractor in your area — people ready to start a project. Combined with our answer-engine optimization, your firm can also get cited inside AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, which is where more homeowners begin their research. You compete on relevance and speed of response, not firm size.","question":"How can local SEO help my design-build firm compete against bigger general contractors?"},{"answer":"They get answered. Our AI SDR and voice agents respond, qualify, and book in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — including after-hours and weekends. If a conversation needs a human, the call is handed to a real person with full context, using your calendar and your rules. No inquiry sits until Monday morning.","question":"What happens to inquiries that come in after hours or on weekends?"},{"answer":"Yes. Our AI systems work with your existing CRM, helpdesk, and phone tools — no platform switch required. Database reactivation also runs on the contacts already in your CRM, so there's nothing to migrate before getting started.","question":"Can you work with the CRM and phone systems our design-build firm already uses?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, while SEO compounds over months. We launch quickly, then observe lead quality and outcomes, test what matters, and drop what doesn't — so you see booked calls early and compounding visibility over time.","question":"How fast will we see results from local SEO and paid ads?"},{"answer":"Because integrated beats fragmented. With separate vendors, your ads, creative, and follow-up don't share one plan or one report, and the handoffs leak leads. Worqd is one growth partner running the whole path from first click to booked call — priced against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log, and scoped on a free growth call.","question":"Why not just hire separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"On a free growth call, we look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where your design-build pipeline is stuck before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build and launch quickly","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the plan — priority channels and the lead-handling path — then launch local SEO, paid campaigns, creative, and AI follow-up.
