Lemur Marketing builds organic visibility for outdoor living and residential contractors across Chicagoland. When homeowners search for a deck builder in Des Plaines — you show up first.
Most SEO agencies run the same playbook on every client. For contractors, that means generic blog posts, low-quality backlinks, and no understanding of what homeowners actually search for.
Generic content that doesn’t rank
Homeowners search “deck builder Des Plaines” — not “professional outdoor construction services.” We write for how people actually search.
We target real search intent →No local signals
Google ranks businesses it trusts. Trust comes from consistent NAP data, GBP optimization, and location-specific pages. Most agencies skip this entirely.
We build local authority →No niche expertise
An agency that works with dentists, lawyers, and HVAC companies doesn’t understand contractor buying cycles. We only work with contractors.
We know your buyer →Results you can’t measure
Rankings that don’t translate to calls. Traffic that doesn’t convert. We track what matters: form fills, calls, and booked estimates.
We report on real outcomes →One engagement. One agency. No cherry-picking services and hoping they work together.
Complete Google Business Profile setup, photos, services, posts, and Q&A management. The #1 driver of local map pack rankings.
Title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and schema markup built for local contractor searches. Every page optimized from the ground up.
Dedicated pages for every city and suburb you serve. Built to rank, not just exist. Each one targets real search volume in your area.
Service pages and supporting content targeting high-intent searches in your trade. Written by people who understand how homeowners actually hire contractors.
Consistent NAP across 50+ directories. The foundation of local authority that most agencies skip because it’s unglamorous work that actually matters.
Plain-English reports showing rankings, traffic, and leads. Not vanity metrics. You’ll know exactly what’s working and what’s next.
Same guy. Same skills. Same experience.
Only the brand, systems, and strategy changed. — Sean Moser, Springfield, IL
