Sorry we missed you, we're running equipment. What do you need done?
Need a driveway cut in and a culvert set on 5 acres. Can you bid it?
Yes. Can I walk it Saturday morning?

What an excavation website needs
People hire dirt work off three things: what you do, where you do it, and how fast you answer.
The messages and the search result below are samples.
A page for every kind of work
Someone searching for land clearing wants a land clearing page, with photos of land you cleared. Each service gets its own page, and so does each town or county you work in.

Site prep
Land clearing
Grading & drainage
Utility trenching
Gravel driveways
Demolition

Found for the job and the town
People search for the work and the place, like land clearing in their county. A page with exactly that on it gives Google something to show them.

Lot clearing, brush removal and stump grinding for home sites and pasture. Free estimates.
Bid requests that come with details
The form asks what kind of work and where, so you know what you're bidding before you call back. The customer gets a text in seconds, and so do you.

Thanks, Mike. We got your request for site prep on a 2 acre lot. We'll call tomorrow to set a time to walk it.
You get a text too
A review after every job
Type in the customer's name and number when the job is done. They get a text asking for a Google review, and a few reminders if they forget.
Thanks for letting us put in your driveway, Mike. Would you leave us a quick Google review?

Done. 5 stars.
Excavation sites we've built
Both are live right now. Open them on your phone and tap around.
A home page, one page for each kind of work you do (site prep, land clearing, grading, trenching, driveways, demolition), a page for each town or county you cover, a gallery of real job photos, reviews and a contact page. That usually lands between 10 and 20 pages, which is what the plan includes.
I don't have many photos. Is that a problem?
No. Phone photos of real jobs beat stock photos. Send what you have, even if it's a dozen, and we build the gallery from them.
Most of my work is word of mouth. Do I still need a website?
Word of mouth still gets checked. People who hear your name search for you before they call. A builder or homeowner who finds nothing, or finds an old page, may call the next name on the list. The site is there so the referral turns into a call.
Can the site show every town and county I work in?
Yes. Each town or county gets its own page that says what you do there. That gives Google a page to show when someone searches for excavation in that town, even if your shop is somewhere else.
How much does an excavation website cost?
$297 a month. No setup fee and no contract. That covers the website, missed call text back, the instant text to new leads, review requests, the past customer campaign and the Google setup.
Contractor Advanced. $297 a month.
