The ultimate foundation for contractors.
The Launchpad is the starting point for contractors. Get a professional custom website you own and an ongoing local SEO and AEO program to generate more leads online.
No ad spend required.
Everything you need to get found online.
The Roundhouse Launchpad is a done-for-you program that gives your contracting business two things it needs before anything else: a professional website you actually own, and an ongoing local SEO strategy that's actively being worked every single month.
New Custom Website
Built on Duda — a fast, professional platform. You own it outright. Not a rented template. Every page is built from scratch with SEO in mind from day one, proper heading structure, and fast load times.
Local SEO
Having a great website means nothing if no one can find it. We handle the ongoing monthly discipline to get your business ranking in Google Search and the local map pack for searches in your service area.
Answer Engine Optimization
Search is changing. AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews are answering questions directly. Every piece of content we produce is written to help your business show up in those AI responses.
Our Work
Look at some of the contractors we've built for and partnered with. Every site is custom-built, contractor-owned, and backed by the same SEO program we'd put to work for your business.
Our Results
Real numbers from real clients. What you're seeing below is what happens when a properly built website meets a local SEO strategy that's actually being worked every single month.
Are we the right fit?
We don't just build a pretty brochure. We build a lead-generation tool that works around the clock.
Who This Isn't For
We'll be straight with you — establishing your business and developing authority online is a long game, and it rewards contractors who are committed to the process. If any of these sound like you, we're probably not the right fit right now:
- You want the cheap marketing with no accountability
- You're looking for a one-time website build with no interest in ongoing strategy
- You're not ready to respond to leads when they start coming in
- You want to "test it out" for a month and see if SEO works
- You're not willing to invest in your business's online presence long-term
Who This Is Built For
The Launchpad works best for contractors who:
- Know they need a better online presence and are ready to do something about it
- Want to own their website — not rent it, not lose it if they switch vendors
- Understand that showing up on Google takes consistent effort, not a one-time fix
- Are tired of paying for leads they don't own and want to build something that compounds
- Want a team they can actually reach, not a vendor who ghosts them after the build
- Are thinking ahead — and want to be positioned in AI-driven search before their competitors figure it out
The First 90 Days
Here's how the first 90 days typically unfold for a new Launchpad client.
Simple, transparent pricing. No ad spend required.
The Launchpad is a pure SEO and website program — there's no paid advertising component and no separate ad budget needed. We focus on building your foundation.
Perfect for contractors who aren't ready to run paid ads yet, or who want to build a rock-solid foundation before layering in advertising.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Launchpad before you get started.
What exactly do I get for $1000 a month?
Your monthly investment covers website hosting and ongoing management, two SEO-optimized blog posts, one press release written and syndicated, Google Business Profile management, citation building and maintenance, on-page SEO updates, transparent monthly reporting, and direct Slack access to our team for website edits. The one-time $1,500 setup fee covers the full custom website build and all initial SEO work to get you launched.
Do I actually own the website, or is it tied to Roundhouse?
You own the website. It’s built on the Duda platform and the asset belongs to your business — not to us. We host and manage it on your behalf, but you are never locked in. If you ever decide to move on, the site is yours to take with you. We don’t hold your website hostage.
How long until I start seeing results on Google?
SEO is not instant — anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t being straight with you. Most clients begin to see rankings move in months two and three as Google indexes the new site and content. By the end of the first 90 days, you’ll have a live website, an active and optimized GBP, clean citations, a growing content library, and initial keyword rankings we can track and report on. The foundation compounds over time — the longer we work it, the stronger your position gets.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. The Launchpad is month-to-month. There are no long-term commitments, no cancellation penalties, and no fine print. We want to earn your business every month. That said, SEO does take time to compound — clients who stick with the program for six months or more see significantly stronger results than those who stop early.
I already have a website. Can I still use the Launchpad for just the SEO?
The Launchpad is designed as a complete package — website plus SEO — because the two are deeply connected. A new site built to our SEO standards gives the monthly work a much stronger foundation to build on. That said, if you have an existing site you’re happy with and want to talk about SEO-only options, reach out and we’ll have an honest conversation about whether that’s a fit.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Not much. After you pay the setup fee, we schedule your onboarding call and gather everything we need from you there — your services, service area, any existing photos or brand assets, your Google Business Profile login (if you have one), and your target customers. Most clients are surprised by how little they have to do. We do the heavy lifting.
Do I need to run paid ads for this to work?
No. The Launchpad is a pure SEO program — there is no paid advertising component and no separate ad budget required. Your $800/month is the only spend. Paid ads can be layered on top later if you want to accelerate growth, but they’re not required for the Launchpad to work.
What is AEO and why does it matter for my contracting business?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It’s the practice of writing content specifically so that AI tools — like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity — pull from your website when answering questions. When someone asks an AI “who’s the best plumber in [city],” the AI cites sources it trusts. We write every piece of content to make your business one of those sources. Most contractors aren’t thinking about this yet — which is exactly why it’s a real opportunity right now.
How will I know if it’s working?
You’ll receive a monthly report showing keyword rankings, website traffic, GBP activity, and a summary of all work completed that month. At the 90-day mark, you’ll get a full report comparing your starting point to where you are, plus a roadmap for what we’re targeting next. There’s no guessing — you see exactly what’s happening.
Do you work with any type of contractor, or do you specialize?
We work with home service contractors across all trades — roofers, plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, painters, landscapers, remodelers, and more. The Launchpad program works the same way regardless of trade: build a strong site, rank in your local market, and get the right customers calling you.
