One client per trade, per market. If I work with a roofer in Bismarck, I don’t take another one.

The plan

What ninety days looks like

The shape of the engagement, not a forecast. Every milestone is dated and checkable.

Based in: Bismarck, North Dakota
Who you work with: The owner. Every time.
Commitment: Month-to-month after day 90
You own: Site, profile & ad account

The problem

Nobody in Bismarck markets contractors for a living.

There are good agencies in this town. They build brands, run social media, shoot video, and one of the best of them specializes in hunting and fishing outfitters. None of them wakes up thinking about how a homeowner in north Bismarck picks a roofer in February.

The gap

559 contractors. Nobody serving them.

Business counts from the Bismarck-Mandan Development Association 2026 MSA profile. Agency count from public directory listings.

The out-of-state SEO firm

Search “Bismarck SEO” and most of what comes back is a company in another state running a template page with your city dropped into it. They’ve never driven the Expressway. You get a rep, a monthly PDF and a twelve-month agreement.

The local generalist

Talented people doing logos, brochures and websites for every kind of business in town. Good work, but a contractor’s problem isn’t branding. It’s showing up when somebody searches at 9pm with water coming through the ceiling.

The guy who built it once

Your site went up in 2019 and nobody has touched it since. Your Google profile has the wrong categories, four photos and eleven reviews. Meanwhile the company across town posts every week and sits at the top of the map.

Prozpect Pro

One market. One kind of client.

Home service contractors in Bismarck, Mandan and Lincoln. That’s the whole list. Same playbook, sharpened on every job, so you’re not paying me to learn your trade on your dime.

What I do

Five services. One outcome: more of the jobs you want.

Not impressions. Not engagement. Booked jobs, tracked from the click to the phone call, in a dashboard you can open yourself at two in the morning.

Local SEO

When somebody in Mandan searches for what you do, you’re in the map pack, not on page two where nobody looks.

How it works

Google Business Profile

The highest-return asset you own and the one almost every contractor here has set up wrong. Fixing it is often the fastest win available.

How it works

Web Design

Built to turn a stranger on a phone into a booked estimate. Everything that doesn’t serve that is decoration.

How it works

Google Ads & LSAs

For when you need work next week, not next quarter. Flat management fee — never a cut of your ad spend.

How it works

Review Management

Every completed job turns into a review request automatically. Steady new reviews beat a big pile of old ones, and Google knows it.

How it works

Sold as one system

A great website with a broken Google profile is a great website nobody finds. Ads without tracking is a donation to Google. These five fit together, which is why they’re scoped together.

Trades

Built for the work that happens outside.

Every trade has its own season, its own emergency, and its own reason a homeowner picks one company over another. These pages lay out what I’d do for yours.

The North Dakota year

Your calendar is not a national average.

Illustrative shape of seasonal demand, not measured data. The point is the timing: you market in the trough, not the peak.

What I’ll put in writing

Six promises. And two things I’ll never say.

Never a long-term contract

Foundation is month to month from day one. The sprint is ninety days, then month to month. Nothing here is an annual agreement.

One client per trade, per market

Written into the agreement, not just onto the website. I will not take your competitor’s money.

Flat fee, never a cut of ad spend

My income doesn’t go up when I spend more of your money. You pay Google directly.

You own everything

Website, domain, Google profile, ad account, tracking numbers, content. If you leave, it all goes with you.

You get the owner

My cell number. No account manager, no ticket queue, no handoff to somebody you’ve never met.

Milestones, or the month is free

The day 30 and day 60 deliverables ship on time, or you don’t pay for the month that follows.

I won’t promise you the #1 spot on Google.

Nobody controls that algorithm. Anyone who guarantees a ranking is either lying to you or about to do something that gets your listing suspended.

I won’t promise you a lead count.

Seasonality in North Dakota alone would make me a liar by February. What I promise is the work, on time, measured honestly, and you see every number I see.

How I work

Built here. For businesses here.

A small book on purpose. One client per trade per market means I’d rather have ten clients I can name than a hundred I can’t.

Service area

Bismarck. Mandan. Lincoln.

A metro of roughly 137,000 people and about 559 construction businesses, small enough that a contractor who does local search properly can own it, and large enough that owning it is worth real money.

Straight answers

The questions contractors ask

How long until I see something?

Ads can produce calls in the first month. Local SEO is slower, real map pack movement usually shows between day 45 and day 90, and it keeps compounding after that. Anyone who tells you SEO works in two weeks is selling you something. What you will have inside thirty days is a live site, a rebuilt Google profile, ads running, and — for most contractors, for the first time, an honest count of how many leads you are getting.

Am I locked into a contract?

Never an annual one. The 90-day sprint is ninety days, because that is how long the build takes and I am not going to start a website in month one and get cancelled in month two, after day 90 it is month to month with thirty days’ notice. And if ninety days is more than you want to commit to right now, Foundation is month to month from day one: your Google profile and review engine, cancel any month.

Will you work with my competitor?

No. One client per trade, per market, written into the agreement. If I am working with a roofer in Bismarck-Mandan, I turn down every other roofer here, which is also why applications sometimes get declined for reasons that have nothing to do with you.

I already can’t keep up with the work I have. Why would I want more leads?

Then you may not need me yet, and I will tell you that on the call rather than take your money. But it is worth asking a second question: are you busy with the right jobs? Most contractors around here are full of low-margin work they said yes to because it showed up. Better marketing is not only more leads, it is more of the jobs you would pick if you had a choice, which is what lets you start saying no to the rest.

Do you handle my ad budget?

No, and that is on purpose. Your Google Ads account is yours, your card is on it, and you pay Google directly. I charge a flat management fee, never a percentage of what you spend. If I got paid more for spending more of your money, you would be right not to trust my recommendations.

What about winter?

I live here too. Seasonality gets planned for, not ignored. Ad budget shifts, content gets built during the slow months so it is already ranking before the season starts, and if you have counter-seasonal work like snow removal we build a funnel for that instead of letting the site go quiet for four months.

Who does the work?

I do. Prozpect Pro is deliberately small. The person who audits your site is the person who answers your phone and records your monthly walkthrough. That caps how many contractors I can take on, which is exactly why this is an application and not a shopping cart.

Still reading? Then let’s find out where you stand.

The audit is free, it takes me about ten minutes to record, and it is yours whether we work together or not.
