In today’s digital-first world, homeowners no longer reach for the Yellow Pages when they need a plumber, roofer, or contractor. They go straight to Google. That means if your home service business isn’t appearing on the first page of local search results, you’re missing out on hundreds, if not thousands of potential customers in Edmonton every single month.
At Bananas Creative, we specialize in helping trade professionals like you stand out in a crowded market. Whether you run a cleaning company, a renovation crew, or a landscaping business, one thing is certain: local SEO is your secret weapon. And we know exactly how to wield it.
What Is Local SEO and Why Does It Matter?
Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches. It’s what gets you on Google’s Map Pack, the top three listings that appear with a map when someone searches something like “Edmonton furnace repair” or “best electrician near me.”
If your business isn’t showing up there, someone else’s is. And they’re getting the calls you should be getting.
Local SEO ensures:
- More traffic to your website
- More phone calls and inquiries
- More booked jobs
- More trust from local homeowners
The Stats That Prove It Works
- 46% of all Google searches have a local intent
- 78% of local mobile searches lead to an in-store purchase or service call
- 92% of searchers will pick businesses on the first page of local results
Translation? If you’re not on the first page, you’re invisible.
What’s Holding Most Edmonton Businesses Back?
Here are some common reasons home service businesses fail to rank locally:
1. Incomplete Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first impression someone has of your company. If yours is incomplete, unverified, or inconsistent with your website, Google won’t trust it, and neither will customers.
2. No Local Keywords
If your site is full of generic content like “We’re the best in Canada,” that won’t cut it. Google wants to know where you operate. That means optimizing your site with targeted keywords like:
- “Drywall contractor in Edmonton”
- “Sherwood Park plumbing services”
- “Affordable roofing Fort Saskatchewan”
3. Lack of Reviews
Online reviews matter more than ever. If you’re not actively requesting and managing reviews, you’re leaving credibility and conversions on the table.
4. Weak Mobile Experience
Over 70% of local searches happen on mobile. If your site loads slowly, has confusing navigation, or isn’t mobile-friendly, visitors will bounce before they ever contact you.
