Where Colorado's general contractors and remodelers are
The largest concentrations of general contractors and remodelers in our Colorado data are in Littleton, Grand Junction, Denver, Greeley, Windsor, Longmont, Golden and Parker. Competition for the map pack is heaviest there, and so is the reward: the same review count that dominates a small town is invisible in Littleton.
The map pack in Colorado
Google shows three businesses in the map pack for a search like "remodeling or general contracting business near me" in Littleton. In Colorado the shops that hold those spots usually sit near the 90th percentile, 115 reviews, not the median. 11.5% of Colorado general contractors and remodelers have passed 100 reviews; the other 88.5% are competing for whatever is left below the fold.
The website gap in Colorado
16.6% of Colorado general contractors and remodelers list no website on their Google profile, fewer than the national 23.8%. Nationally, general contractors and remodelers with a website have a median of 14 reviews against 2 without. A five-page site with tap-to-call and a page per service is the cheapest gap to close.
What to do first in Colorado
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 12-review shop past the Colorado 75th percentile (39) within a year. The guides have the scripts.
- Finish the Google profile: primary category, every service you offer, real job photos, and hours that match reality. It is free and it is where Colorado customers decide.
- Follow up every lead within five minutes. Speed to lead beats ad spend in a trade where the customer is collecting three quotes. The calculator shows what slow replies cost.
- Then, and only then, spend on ads. Pointed at a profile with 12 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
