More Remodeling Leads is an independent site for owners of remodeling and general contracting companies who want a fuller estimate calendar without signing a twelve-month agreement to find out whether the marketing works.
Who writes it
Steve Meitler is the editor. He has spent years running marketing for local service businesses, including remodelers, design-build firms and general contractors, and has watched enough owners buy "leads" that turned out to be shared bids from a broker. What those pitches lack is numbers you can check and a plan that respects a 60 to 180 day close.
Where the benchmark numbers come from
The benchmark report is built from public Google Business Profile listings. We search Google Maps for general contractors and construction companies in every US state, keep the public fields on each listing (review count, star rating, website link, hours, primary category, location), remove duplicates by Google place, and compute the statistics you see. Nothing comes from behind a login and no personal data is stored. The dataset currently holds 116,602 listings across 51 states and is refreshed monthly.
Two caveats. Collection at this scale produces errors, so treat every figure as accurate to within a point or two. And the category is broad: alongside general contractors it includes construction companies, home builders, roofers and concrete contractors, because that is how owners file themselves on Google. The report shows the category mix.
Editorial rules
- No pay-to-play. Nobody can buy a mention, a recommendation or a link on this site.
- Every number is sourced, to our dataset or to a primary source such as Google's own documentation. Opinions are labeled as opinions.
- Guides are written for an owner who is on a job site at 7 a.m. and quoting at 8 p.m. If a step cannot be done by that person or handed to an office manager, it is not here.
- Nothing here promises a result. Marketing changes how many people call you. What happens on the site visit is still yours.
How the free trial works
The site is funded by the marketing work we do for remodeling companies. Every service is offered as a free 14-day trial because a contractor should watch the estimate requests arrive before paying anybody. You text or call, tell us what you want to try (Google Ads, Meta ads, AI search optimization, local SEO, a website, portfolio content, review generation, missed-call text-back, email and SMS, bookkeeping, or appointment setting), and we build it inside your own accounts, usually within 48 hours of the setup call. It runs 14 days, with no card on file.
Be realistic about one thing: 14 days proves that qualified estimate requests arrive, not that a kitchen closed. That is the trade, and we would rather say it here than on day 15.
At the end you keep the service at a price quoted before it starts, switch to a different one, or stop. Text or call (385) 832-6175, or use the free trial page.
