Why Trade Hive
I spent ten years as a carpenter. Laid floors, ran trim, bid my own jobs, hauled my own materials. I know what it’s like to finish a long day and still have two estimates to go write up and leads that still need to be followed up with.
Then I spent the next six learning to build software, three of them paid to do it. Now I build websites for guys like the one I used to be.
Most web designers have never run a job. They’ll sell you something pretty that never books an appointment. I build sites that do the work. They catch the lead, follow up, and put the call on your calendar while you’re on a ladder.
What we do
Your site shouldn't just sit there looking nice. It should earn its keep. Here's what that means in practice. Four things, running together.
Local SEO that puts you on the map. Literally. The map pack is where the calls come from. We build the site, the citations, and the Google Business Profile so you land in the top three.
Big phone numbers. Clear answers. One button that does what they came to do. Pages that load before someone gives up and texts the next guy.
Missed-call text-back answers for you automatically, in seconds, with your name on it. The lead stays yours while you're under a sink.
The busywork that eats your evenings, handled. That's the “do more by doing less” part: the site and the automations run your front office so you can stay on the job.
Proof · the work
A concrete coating company here in Albuquerque came to me barely showing up online. We rebuilt the site, fixed the local SEO, and got them to the top of the map pack.
Then they held that ranking through a Google core update that knocked competitors down.
Here's an overview of their gains on a more competitive keyword, and they are still climbing.
That's one trade. The same playbook works for the rest: contractors, painters, landscapers, HVAC, cleaning companies. If you run local jobs and live off the phone ringing, this is built for you.
Where we're based
I'm not a faceless agency in another time zone. I'm here in Albuquerque, and I laid floors in houses all over this city before I built a single website.
When you call, you get me. Same town, same time zone, same understanding of what it takes to run a trade in this market.
Time, tech, lock-in, money. If you've got a different one, ask me on the call.
Most builds go live in 7 to 14 days. No six-month agency runaround.
Not if you don't want to. I run the site and the systems for you. If you do want to get hands-on and use everything yourself, there's just one tool to learn (Trade Hive), and I'll train you on it. It won't be any more than what you're already doing if you use booking or payment software now.
Nope. Month to month. If it's not working for you, you walk. I'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in a year-long deal. I'm confident I'll bring you enough ROI that I don't need to lock you in. My retainers are earned, not obligated.
Depends on what you need. Two clear options, and we sort out the in-between on a call. No surprise invoices. See pricing →
