INDUSTRY 10 · SIDING & EXTERIORUSA · RESIDENTIAL

Siding marketing that books $20,000+ exterior projects.

SEO, Google Ads, and AI search visibility built for US siding contractors working on $12K–$40K projects. Siding sold on its own is a thin, price-fought business. Siding sold as part of an exterior package — with roofing, windows, and trim — is where the margin actually lives, and marketing decides which one you get.

SEC 01  ·  The Problem

Selling siding by the square is a race to the bottom.

A homeowner searching “siding replacement” is comparing price per square across four contractors who all look identical online. Nothing in that comparison rewards better installation, better flashing details, or a crew that will still exist in five years. The only way out is to stop selling siding and start selling the exterior.

  • The material spread is huge and unexplainedVinyl, engineered wood, and fiber cement can differ by three times on an identical house. Buyers who don’t understand why default to the cheapest number in front of them.
  • You’re leaving the attached work on the tableMost siding jobs sit next to a roof, gutters, windows, or trim that also need attention. Contractors who only market siding get one line item where they could have had four.
  • Storm and insurance work distorts everythingHail brings out-of-state crews who buy the top of every search result, quote against insurance scope, and leave. Your retail pipeline has to exist independently of that cycle.
  • You’re invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini“How much does fiber cement siding cost” is now an AI question that sets the buyer’s budget before you ever speak to them. If the models don’t know you, you’re not shaping that number.

The same house, the same crew, the same trip — three times the job.

Scaffolding is already up. The crew is already on site. The homeowner is already spending. A siding contractor who markets only siding captures one line of that opportunity and hands the rest to whoever the homeowner calls next year. Marketing the exterior as a package is not an upsell tactic — it’s the difference between a $22K job and a $60K one at almost identical acquisition cost.

  • Exterior package pages: siding + trim + gutters + windows, priced together
  • Material comparison content with real installed cost per square
  • Storm-damage and insurance guidance kept separate from retail content
  • Manufacturer certification and warranty positioning (LP, James Hardie, etc.)
  • Negative-keyword walls blocking repair, patch, painting, and pressure-wash queries

SEC 03  ·  Siding Case Study

What the system looks like when it’s working.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · SIDING CONTRACTOR · CHARLOTTE NC

Same lead count. Average job up from $19K to $34K.

An exterior contractor doing $2.6M/yr was winning siding-only work at competitive margins and watching homeowners hire someone else for gutters and trim months later. Restructuring the site and ads around exterior packages changed what buyers asked for before the first site visit.

SEC 05  ·  Common questions

Siding contractor marketing — answered.

How fast can we see booked estimates?

Google Ads and LSA typically produce booked estimates within week 2–3. Local SEO for siding queries takes longer — first ranking wins by week 6–8, meaningful volume by month 3. Paid covers the near term while the organic asset builds underneath it.

We do a lot of storm work. Does this replace it?

No — it insulates you from it. Storm work is genuine revenue, but it arrives unpredictably and brings transient competition that buys the top of every search result for a few months. The point of a retail pipeline is that a quiet hail year stops being a bad year.

Won’t pushing exterior packages slow down our sales cycle?

Slightly, and it’s worth it. A package conversation adds a little time at the estimate stage and roughly multiplies the job value, at the same acquisition cost. If your crews are capacity-constrained rather than lead-constrained, this is the single highest-leverage change available to you.

What’s the ideal project size and revenue range?

We’re built for siding and exterior contractors doing $1M–$12M/year with average projects of $12K–$40K. If your typical job is a $3K repair, the retainer maths doesn’t work and GBP plus reviews would serve you better first.

Do you also build the website?

Both options work. Most siding contractors need a material comparison page and an exterior package structure before their traffic converts. That’s bundled into Accelerate and Dominate.

Who owns everything you build?

You do. Everything lives in your accounts, in your name. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you. This is non-negotiable — we don’t hold client work hostage.
