How a Framing Company Got Found on Google in Kelowna

If you're a framer or construction company owner, you probably think your work speaks for itself. And it does — to the people who already know you. But here's the problem: 93% of homeowners search online before hiring a contractor, and general contractors looking for framing subs are Googling too. If you don't have a website, you don't exist to these people.

to see what a professional construction company website looks like — and why it's different from a generic contractor template.

The construction trades are behind on digital compared to plumbers, electricians, and HVAC companies. That's actually good news if you're a framer or builder considering a website — the competition is thin, and the first movers are winning.

• •93% of home improvement projects start with an online search
• •Most framing companies have zero website — meaning low keyword competition
• •Construction keywords like 'framing company [city]' have high commercial intent
• •A single framing job from Google ($15K–$50K+) pays for the website many times over

Construction company SEO isn't the same as plumber SEO or electrician SEO. The keywords are different, the search intent is different, and the customer journey is completely different.

1. 1.Framing keywords — 'framing company Kelowna,' 'residential framing contractor' target subcontractor and direct-hire searches
2. 2.Custom home keywords — 'custom home builder Okanagan,' 'build a house Kelowna' attract homeowners planning major projects
3. 3.Renovation keywords — 'home renovation Kelowna,' 'renovation contractor Okanagan' capture homeowners upgrading existing properties
4. 4.Commercial keywords — 'commercial construction Kelowna' targets business owners and developers with high-value projects

Each of these keyword categories has different intent, different competition levels, and different value per job. That's why a construction company needs dedicated service pages for each offering — not one generic 'services' page.

We built Canadian Precision's

framing and construction services

pages to target these specific keyword categories, with each page optimized for the search terms that match its service type.

Our approach to

SEO for home services companies

starts with understanding which keywords drive the highest-value leads in your specific trade.

Most construction company websites (when they exist at all) are either a single page with a phone number or a template site that looks like every other contractor. Here's what actually converts visitors into leads for construction trades:

• •Dedicated service pages — one for framing, one for custom homes, one for renovations. Each targeting different keywords.
• •Project photos — real work, not stock images. Show the framing, the builds, the finished product.
• •Trust signals — insurance, licensing, WCB, years of experience. Construction clients need to trust you with their biggest investment.
• •Lead capture on every page — contact form, phone number, email. Make it easy to reach you from any page.
• •Mobile-responsive design — 60%+ of contractor searches happen on phones, often from job sites.
• •Fast loading — sub-2-second load times. Slow sites lose impatient contractors and homeowners alike.

"The difference between a construction website that generates leads and one that sits there? Specificity. Generic 'we do it all' pages don't rank. Dedicated pages for framing, custom homes, and renovations — each targeting the keywords clients actually search — convert at dramatically higher rates."

Check out how we structured the website for

Canadian Precision Homes

— it's built specifically for how construction clients actually hire contractors.

We design and build

websites for home services companies

that are purpose-built for lead generation, not just online brochures.

This is the question every framer and builder asks — and the answer depends on what you need. But let's start with the ROI math, because that's what actually matters:

1. 1.Basic professional site ($3K–$5K) — Clean design, 3-5 service pages, contact form, mobile-responsive. Gets you on Google.
2. 2.SEO-optimized site ($5K–$8K) — Everything above plus keyword research, schema markup, analytics setup, and Search Console configuration. Gets you ranking.
3. 3.Full lead generation system ($8K–$12K) — Everything above plus Google Ads landing pages, conversion tracking, and ongoing SEO. Gets you a steady pipeline of leads.

For Canadian Precision Homes, we built a site that falls in the middle range — professional design, dedicated service pages, full analytics, and SEO optimization. The investment pays for itself with the first job that comes through Google.

Before the website, Canadian Precision Homes had zero online presence. No Google results, no website, nothing. Here's the timeline of what happened after launch:

1. 1.Week 1-2 — Site submitted to Google Search Console. Service pages crawled and indexed within days.
2. 2.Month 1 — All service pages appearing in Google search results for construction keywords in Kelowna.
3. 3.Month 2 — Organic impressions growing as Google tests the pages in various keyword positions.
4. 4.Month 3 — First inbound leads from Google. Homeowners and GCs finding Canadian Precision through search.

"The website gave us credibility we didn't have before. Now when we bid on bigger projects, people look us up and see a professional operation."

— Canadian Precision Homes

This timeline is faster than most contractor niches because construction and framing keywords have lower online competition than plumbing or electrical. If you're a construction company without a website, the opportunity cost of waiting is real.

home services marketing

to see how we help contractors across the trades get found online.

Ask yourself these questions:

• •When was the last time someone found you on Google instead of through a referral?
• •If a homeowner searches 'framing company [your city]' right now, do they find you?
• •Do you know how many people Google your services every month in your area?
• •Are you losing bids to competitors who look more established online?

If you answered 'no' or 'I don't know' to any of those — you're leaving jobs on the table.

"The construction trades are one of the last industries to go digital. That's the opportunity — low competition, high-value jobs, and most of your competitors still don't have a website."
