§ 07 — Industry

Construction Companies
that close 6-figure projects.

Long sales cycles deserve long-cycle marketing.

§ The problem

A $250k addition isn't bought on a Google Ad — it's bought after months of trust-building you're not currently doing.

General contractors and custom builders lose more deals to the silent middle of the funnel than to direct competitors. The homeowner who inquired in January is closing with someone in May — and if you're not in their inbox, on their feed, and on their referral list between now and then, that contract is gone.

§ Market truth

Custom build buyers vet contractors for 4–9 months. The contractor who stays visible the longest wins.

§ Who's buying

The buyer you should be hunting.

  • 01Homeowners planning major additions, remodels, or new builds ($150k+)
  • 02Architects and designers sourcing build partners
  • 03Commercial clients sourcing tenant improvement contractors
  • 04Repeat clients ready for the second or third project
