# About CurbSide Search

> Built to rank, not to report. CurbSide Search is a local SEO and web design agency for exterior home-service contractors, built on radical transparency, real monthly work, and one trade per market.

CurbSide Search exists because exterior contractors kept getting sold the same thing: pretty dashboards, template sites, and monthly PDFs that never put a truck in a driveway. We do the opposite of all of it.

Every trade we serve, roofing, pools, landscaping, decks, siding, solar, lives and dies by local search. When someone types "roofer near me," the businesses in the top three results get the call. Everyone else gets ignored.

The problem is not that contractors do not invest in marketing. It is that most agencies treat SEO as a reporting exercise: rank a vanity keyword, send a chart, collect the retainer. Nobody ships the work that actually moves rankings, and nobody tells the owner the honest truth about what SEO can and cannot do.

So we built the agency we would want if we owned a roofing company. Public pricing. A foundation built right the first time. Real, measurable work every single month. And a promise no growth-at-all-costs agency will make: we only ever work with one company per trade in your market.

## Four principles, no exceptions

- **Radical transparency.** Pricing is public. Timelines are honest. We tell you what SEO cannot do, not just what it can. Trust beats persuasion every time.
- **Work, not reports.** Every month we ship real pages, real profile management, real reviews. If it cannot be measured in leads and calls, we do not count it as a win.
- **One trade per market.** We turn down your competitor on purpose. Your investment builds a moat only you can hold, not a bidding war we profit from twice.
- **Architectural grade.** Schema, speed, structure. The foundation gets built right so everything on top of it holds. No cracks, no shortcuts, no templates.

## Our thesis

Most buying decisions happen online before anyone picks up the phone. Your website is not a brochure anymore. It is your best salesperson, and we make sure it is the one buyers find first.

## The economics: the build pays for itself, the retainer is the moat

The one-time front end fixes your foundation and starts driving leads fast. The monthly retainer is where value compounds: rankings that stack, a market that widens, and a position competitors cannot buy into.

- **Fast front end:** a 14-day build or overhaul that pays for itself by driving leads in the same month.
- **Compounding retainer:** monthly work that stacks rankings and reviews. Value that grows, not a bill that repeats.

The audit is free and the honesty is included. We will show you exactly where you stand and whether your market is still open, with no contract and no runaround.
