Construction & General Contracting SEO Checklist

Quick answer

The highest-priority items for general contractors: answer "is this contractor licensed, insured, and actually reliable" directly on the site, build out licensing/insurance transparency pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — licensing and insurance status buried or absent, despite being the single biggest trust question a commercial or homeowner client has.
