You’ve put in the years. Your hands know the work. And your customers love the results.

But here’s the truth: If customers can’t find you online, they’ll call the next name that shows up — even if you’re the better choice.

It’s not about being flashy. It’s about being findable. And right now, too many skilled tradesmen across East Texas are getting passed over simply because they don’t have an online presence that works for them.



🔎 “Word of Mouth” Isn’t Enough Anymore


Yes, referrals still matter. But today’s customers double-check Google first — even when someone gives them your name.


Before a customer ever picks up the phone to call you… they’ve already Googled you.


  • 🔍 83% of consumers check Google reviews before choosing a service provider

  • 💻 81% of shoppers research a business online before reaching out

  • 🎥 74% look for video content when checking out local businesses

  • 🛠️ And 95% do additional online research before buying — even for services


So if your business isn’t showing up — or looks outdated — you’re probably getting skipped.

These numbers aren’t just big—they’re local. They represent your neighbors, your potential customers, and the people looking for someone just like you.




🚧 What’s Hurting Hardworking Tradesmen Online?

You’ve got the skills — but if your online presence looks retired, so do you.

Here’s what I see most often in East Texas trades:


No website — or one that looks 10+ years old


Facebook page with outdated info (or no posts in years)


No Google Business Profile — or missing photos, reviews, and hours


Competitors with better SEO, even if their work isn’t on your level



🛠️ You Don’t Need Fancy. You Need Functional.
