For remodelers, builders & contractors
If your business qualifies, we’ll choose three high-value searches tied to the work you want more of and put our fee behind the result.
Hit the agreed Top 3 benchmark on at least one within 90 days. If we don’t, your monthly fee drops to $0 until we do.
See If I QualifyWe don’t accept every business. We first analyze your rankings, location and competition to see whether the opportunity is realistic.
The proof / AG-CM
This is why we measure actual Google Maps coverage, not vague “SEO progress.”
AG-CM figures supplied by OneCity. The image slots above are placeholders, not reproductions of the original scans. Results vary by business and market.
The opportunity
Google’s Map Pack gets the attention.
Research has found that 42% of people making a local search click a business in the Map Pack.Source ↗
Assumptions: 100 monthly searches · 42% Map Pack click rate · 20% click-to-inquiry rate · 20% close rate · $50,000 average project value
If you’re sitting at #7, #12 or #18 across most of your market, you may technically “rank,” but you’re missing the part of Google where the attention is concentrated.
Illustrative example. Search volume, click-through rates, lead conversion, close rate and project value vary by business and market. The 42% applies to the Map Pack as a whole, not one business. The $84,000 example assumes those clicks reach your business and uses unrounded estimates of 8.4 inquiries and 1.68 jobs; it is not a revenue forecast.
The problem
When a homeowner searches for a remodeler, general contractor or custom builder, Google gives three businesses the prime local real estate.
If you’re below those three, you’re asking the customer to keep looking.
You may already have:
But if Google keeps putting three competitors above you, they get the first shot at the business.
That’s the problem the Top 3 Challenge is designed to solve.
The first shot at the business
Illustrative search layout. Not a live Google result.
A clear target. A shared stake.
We identify three high-intent searches tied to the work you actually want more of.
Then we establish your baseline visibility across your market.
Same services. Clear connections.
Why we think we can move it
A lot of contractors do not have a “Google problem.” They have a clarity problem.
Their Google Business Profile says one thing. Their website says another.
Important services are buried or missing. The site does not reinforce the services Google is being asked to rank.
OneCity fixes that structure.
The OneCity system
Align the foundation. Build the service ecosystem. Track the footprint.
Categories, services and website structure aligned around the work you want.
We build roughly 50–75% of the priority service ecosystem during the first 90 days.
Titles, headings, internal linking and technical issues fixed.
Relevant, authoritative backlinks with roughly $500/month devoted to link acquisition.
One press release launched during the initial 90 days.
A simple system for continuing to build legitimate customer reviews.
Recurring LeadSnap scans so we know whether your footprint is actually moving.
Why not every business qualifies
Before making the guarantee, we look at:
If we see a realistic path to the Top 3, we’ll tell you. If we don’t, we’ll tell you that too.
Who this is for
You do not need to be ranking #4 already. We’ve seen meaningful movement from businesses starting much farther back when the competition is beatable.
The investment
The Top 3 Challenge starts with a 90-day paid engagement.
The guarantee changes the risk
Your monthly fee drops to $0 until we hit it.
Once the benchmark is achieved, normal billing resumes the following month.
The agreement remains month-to-month.
*For qualifying businesses that meet the client commitments. The guarantee covers the agreed visibility benchmark, not leads or revenue.
What happens after 90 days
Once the initial footprint moves, we keep expanding. That can include:
The goal is not one green dot.
It is a steadily expanding area where Google sees your company as one of the obvious local choices.
Straight answers
The benchmark. The commitment. What happens next.
We establish an agreed geographic grid and benchmark before the Challenge begins. Success means increasing Top 3 visibility to the agreed threshold for at least one of the three selected high-value keywords.
We choose a different high-value keyword where there is more room to grow.
No. We guarantee the agreed visibility benchmark. Rankings create opportunity, but call handling, sales process, pricing and market demand also affect revenue.
Your monthly fee drops to $0 until the benchmark is achieved. Once we hit it, billing resumes the following month.
Yes. The engagement remains month-to-month.
That is exactly what we evaluate before accepting you into the Challenge.
We choose three high-intent, bottom-of-funnel searches tied closely to your GBP categories and the services you want more of.
Your next move
We’ll review your current Google Maps visibility, the businesses beating you and the services you want more of.
If we believe the opportunity is strong enough to put our own fee at risk, we’ll show you why.
