Case study · Contractor

A builder with a website that just sat there. So we built the path from found to booked.

LJM Construction does beautiful work. The gap was never the craft. It was everything between a homeowner finding them on Google and actually booking.

Engagement

Dec 2025 → Jul 2026

Scope

Website → found-to-booked system

Act 1 · The starting point

It was never the work. It was the handoffs.

LJM had the reputation and the craftsmanship. What they had online was a static site that just sat there. Someone could find it, admire the work, and still have no obvious way to take the next step. Great jobs getting done, and a website doing none of the work of winning the next one.

Phase 1 · December 2025

First, a website built for the work.

We started with a focused package: a real website, designed warm and premium and unmistakably theirs, with analytics and SEO basics in place. It shipped in December 2025, and it turned out well enough that Nathan came back for the part that makes a website actually earn its keep.

A finished job used to just end. Now every one feeds the next.

Phase 2 · July 2026 · The path from here

He bought the system, not a button.

The whole reason Nathan came back: he could see a finished job feed the next one instead of just ending. Watch it build.

The capture · try it

A quote form that actually catches the lead.

Instead of a dead contact box, a guided quote request: project type, the exact town so Nathan knows it is his service area, timeline, budget, details. It is built mobile-first, so most people meet it exactly like this. Go ahead and click through it, it is the real form on an isolated environment.

The loop

A referral engine disguised as a thank-you card.

Every finished job hands the homeowner a QR project-record card: their own page with the finishes, care tips, warranty, and Nathan's number. One small object delights the customer, prompts the Google review, and keeps LJM one tap away for the next job or the neighbor's.

What LJM has now that it didn't

Before, a finished job just ended.

Before

  • A static site with no real path to book
  • No system for collecting reviews
  • Unoptimized local presence
  • A finished job just ended

Now

  • A guided quote form routing requests to Nathan's phone
  • Ask-after-every-job loop and QR cards, built and live
  • GBP optimized with the service area wired in
  • Every job turns into a review and a referral

In the client's words

“The site came out solid and shows the quality of our work. But she also helped clean up the whole online side of the business: Google, reviews, service pages, listings, analytics, and making it easier for customers to reach out. She mapped it out in a way that made sense and gave me a clear plan instead of just throwing a bunch of marketing at me.”

Results · measuring now

Starting from a clean zero, on purpose.

The system went live only days ago and hasn't been formally handed to Nathan yet, so it is starting from a true baseline of zero. That is exactly what makes the next numbers trustworthy: every review and every quote request from here is fully attributable to the system we built.
