Map Pack · $1,150/mo · launch fee waived
Industry
Contractor SEO in Kansas City, built for the map pack.
I'm John Alewine. I run Kansas City SEO Services from Kansas City, MO. I put Kansas City contractors on the Google map pack. That is the short list of listings people see on the map when they search for a plumber, roofer, or electrician near them.
The work starts with a free Map Pack Check. It is a five-minute screen recording of your listing next to the top three in your map area.
- If the profile needs work, Listing Fix is $795 one time.
- If you want it kept current, Map Pack is $1,150 per month, launch fee waived.
I take one contractor per trade per map area.
Why contractor calls start on Google Maps
A homeowner with a leak, a dead furnace, or a damaged roof does not want to read a blog post. They search, look at the map, and call someone on it. For a contractor, the Google listing behind that map is often the first thing a customer sees.
What the listing has to get right
- Primary category. Set to your actual trade, not something close.
- Service area. Most contractors drive to the job. The listing should show the area you really work, not a pin you never use.
- Hours. True hours. Show after-hours only if someone answers.
- Call button. It should ring your phone, not a lead mill.
- Photos and posts. Real jobs, kept current.
When one of these is off, the Map Pack Check shows it next to the listings winning your area.
Pick your trade
Every trade gets the same rule: one contractor per trade per map area. Each row leads to the same free recorded check.
| Trade | Why the calls come from Maps | Trade page | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plumbers | Emergency calls come from the map pack. Hours, service area, and a phone that actually rings. | Plumber map pack SEO | Check plumber availability |
| HVAC | Seasonal spikes, year-round listing. HVAC shops lose the pack when photos and categories go stale in the off season. | HVAC map pack SEO | Check HVAC availability |
| Roofers | Storm season is won on Google. Roofing listings get claimed by lead mills, so I lock the profile and watch for hijacks. | Roofer map pack SEO | Check roofer availability |
| Electricians | Service calls start on Maps. When the power is out, people search, see three listings, and call one. | Electrician map pack SEO | Check electrician availability |
| Garage doors | Repair calls start on Maps. A snapped spring or stuck door means a search and a call, not browsing. | Garage door map pack SEO | Check garage door availability |
| Flooring | Homeowners search the map when they need floors. I work on Google map pack visibility for flooring companies. | Flooring listings | Check flooring availability |
| Other trades | Tell me what you do. I will tell you if your category is open. | All industries | Request the free check |
What I do on a contractor's listing
The product is the listing. See Map Pack for the full monthly service.
Google Business Profile
I work on your Google Business Profile:
- Claim or recover the listing.
- Set the primary and secondary categories.
- Write the description.
- List only the services you actually offer.
- Load real job photos.
- Set hours and service area.
Reviews
You get review request coaching and reply drafts. Steady reviews and real replies are part of a listing Google can trust.
Bing Places and local directories
I build a matching Bing Places listing. I also place you on the local directories that still feed Google, Apple, and GPS data. Your name, address, and phone stay the same everywhere.
Weekly upkeep on Map Pack
On the Map Pack plan you get:
- Weekly Google posts.
- Photo and Q&A upkeep.
- Citation monitoring and cleanup.
- Bing listing maintenance.
- Monthly written notes on the listing.
What this isn't
This is not website SEO. I do not:
- Rebuild sites.
- Sell backlink packages.
- Run blog mills.
- Build a city page farm.
I do not promise a number one spot. Google decides placement. My job is to make your listing complete, accurate, and watched.
Google Ads is separate from these plans. If you want paid coverage too, see Google Ads.
One contractor per trade per map area
If I work with a roofer on your side of town, I will not take a second roofer there. The same rule holds for every trade. If your slot is taken, I tell you before you pay. No retainer starts until the slot for your trade is open.
This is also why the free check comes first. It shows me your area and your competitors before either of us commits.
Pricing for contractors
The full ladder is on pricing. Here it is as it applies to contractors:
| Step | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Map Pack Check | Free | 5-minute screen recording, your listing vs the top 3, what is winning nearby, a clear next step |
| Listing Fix | $795 one time | Claim or recover, categories, hours, service area, description, photos, Bing Places, core directories, NAP cleanup. Credits 100% to Map Pack if you start within 60 days. |
| Map Pack | $1,150 per month | 3-month minimum, launch fee waived. Weekly posts, photo and Q&A upkeep, review coaching and reply drafts, citation cleanup, Bing maintenance, monthly notes, exclusivity in your map area. |
| Metro | $1,850 per month, first location | Everything in Map Pack, a tighter posting and photo cadence, and a category and competitor watch. Extra locations are $890 each. Built for competitive categories such as HVAC and roofing. |
Google Ads management is 15% of spend with a $750 minimum. A flat $1,850 per month applies only when monthly spend is about $10,000 or more.

Categories I work on
I do not show dashboards of invented percentages. These are categories I work on for Google map pack visibility:
- Flooring companies
- Massage therapists
- Life coaches
Flooring is the contractor trade on that list. The rest of the trades on this page are open categories.

Questions contractors ask first
How does contractor SEO work in Kansas City?
For most contractors, the calls start on Google Maps. I work the listing behind the map pack: categories, service area, hours, photos, posts, and reviews. I match your name and phone on Bing Places and core directories. Google still decides placement by relevance, distance, and prominence, so nobody can promise a spot.
What does contractor SEO cost with you?
It starts with a free Map Pack Check. Listing Fix is $795 one time and credits 100% to Map Pack if you start within 60 days. Map Pack is $1,150 per month with a 3-month minimum and the launch fee waived. Metro is $1,850 per month for the first location, $890 for each extra.
Will you work with another contractor in my trade near me?
No. I take one contractor per trade per map area. If I already work with a roofer, plumber, or electrician on your side of town, I tell you before you pay. No retainer starts until the slot for your trade is open.
Do I need a new website for contractor SEO?
No. I do not rebuild sites, chase backlinks, or run blog mills. The work is your Google Business Profile, Bing Places, and the local directories that still feed Google, Apple, and GPS data. The request form asks for a website only if you have one.
Which trades do you cover?
I have trade pages for plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, and garage door companies, and I work on Google map pack visibility for flooring companies. If your trade is not listed, request the free check anyway and tell me what you do. I will tell you whether your category is open.
