A contractor website from Builders Presence is a site plus the follow-up around it: missed-call text back, a review ask after the job, and pages built for the trades and towns you actually work. The point is a call or text you can answer from the truck, not a brochure that sits online while the next contractor picks up.## What should a contractor website do?Most contractor sites are a business card. A logo, a phone number, a paragraph about family-owned service, and a contact form nobody finishes on a phone. That does not book work. The homeowner who searched “roof repair near me” or tapped your truck wrap is deciding in a minute whether to call you or the next name.Builders Presence builds the site phone-first. Big buttons. One tap to call or text. Real photos of jobs you want more of, not stock pictures of a smiling crew in a city you do not work. Forms, chats, and calls land on your phone as a text. Your site, your Google listing, and your directory listings are supposed to match, so the person who already has your name lands on you instead of a directory that resells the lead.The published scope is a contractor website, usually 10 to 20 pages, plus the tools below. Service and town pages are part of that, because “we do everything everywhere” does not match how people search. The feature page for [the website](https://builderspresence.com/features/website/) and the guide [what a contractor website needs](https://builderspresence.com/blog/what-a-contractor-website-needs/) go further into the page list. This post stays on the job the site is hired to do: get the phone to ring, then not drop the person who called.## What happens when you miss a call on a job?You cannot answer with a tool in your hand. The homeowner does not wait. They call the next contractor on the list, often within the same minute.Missed-call text back sends a text in your business name seconds after the missed call. It works nights, weekends, and holidays. The text asks what they need, so when you call back you already know the job instead of opening with “sorry, who is this?” Texts, calls, form leads, and chats sit in one inbox on your phone.That is not the same product as a call center that pretends to be your office. It is a reply that keeps the conversation on your line until you can talk. [Missed-call text back](https://builderspresence.com/features/missed-call-text-back/) is the piece to read if that is the hole you feel every week. The site without the text back still loses the call you could not take. The text back without a site still leaves referrals with nowhere current to look you up.## Why get a site if almost all of your work is referrals?Referrals look you up before they call. If they find nothing, or a site from ten years ago with the wrong phone number, some of them call someone else and never tell you. Word of mouth is not a substitute for being findable. It is the reason being findable matters.Builders Presence also sends the review ask you mean to send and then forget at dinner. One tap after the job, from the driveway. A couple of reminders over about two weeks, then it stops. The link goes to your Google page. The same ask gives the customer a direct line back to you, so a problem can get fixed before it becomes a public review.Past customers are the cheapest next job. The texts for referral asks, seasonal check-ins, and come-back offers are already written. You pick one and send it. Nothing here requires you to become a marketer. If you can send a text, you can run the parts you touch.## How does a contractor go from a demo to a live site?Three steps, published on the site, not a six-month onboarding.1. A demo call, about 15 minutes. Builders Presence looks at how you get work now, shows the system on a real account, and says so if it is not a fit.2. The build, about 7 to 10 days. You fill out one short form: services, towns, photos, logo. The site and the rest of the setup get built from that.3. A launch call, about 25 minutes, on your phone. Most owners use three or four buttons. The call is which ones.Pricing is one monthly price. Month to month. No long contract. If you cancel, the site and the texting run on the platform, so they shut off when the plan ends. Read [our process](https://builderspresence.com/our-process/) and [pricing](https://builderspresence.com/pricing/) for the current version of those terms, and [about us](https://builderspresence.com/about-us/) if you want who you are hiring. The trades called out in public include roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, remodeling, painting, handyman, pressure washing, pest control, tree service, and flooring, among others.## What Builders Presence will not promise about GoogleText-back and review asks can start the day you go live. Rankings do not. Anybody promising page one next week is guessing or lying. Where you show up depends on your market, your reviews, your competitors, and time.What Builders Presence does control: keyword research by trade and town, titles, headings, image tags, speed, security, structured data, and a Google listing set up so you know how to keep it active. That work continues after launch. It is not “we build it and disappear.” It is also not a ranking guarantee.This article does not include client names, lead counts, or before-and-after revenue. Example text threads on the homepage are examples, not jobs. If a number is not on a page you can open, it does not belong in a post.Start at [Builders Presence](https://builderspresence.com/). The same homepage is on the Cloudflare Pages hostname [builders-presence.pages.dev](https://builders-presence.pages.dev/) if you want the project URL. The [blog](https://builderspresence.com/blog/) is the longer library. The useful next step is the 15-minute demo, where you watch it run before you pay.
