Capability statement portal
An online capability statement with a matching PDF, spec sheets, licenses, and service regions GCs can check fast.
The Problem
Your Pipeline Depends on a Few GCs
It starts quietly. Most of your commercial work arrives through GC invitations, and when those relationships slow down, your schedule follows.
01 · Narrow pipeline
Most of your bid invitations come from a few GCs.
LinkedIn campaigns reach GC estimators and preconstruction managers you haven't met.
02 · Packet hunts
Your office manager spends an afternoon hunting for prequal documents.
Bonding letter, insurance certificate, EMR, and safety records go out through an approved link.
03 · Residential focus
Your website still lists residential services first.
A capability portal leads with trades, regions, project sizes, and safety record.
04 · Unknown name
Owners planning new buildings don't know your name yet.
Search ads put your name in front of owners and developers.
Most of your bid invitations come from 3 GCs, and one just lost its biggest developer client. A new GC's estimator asks for your prequalification packet. Your office manager spends an afternoon hunting for the bonding letter, insurance certificate, and last year's EMR. Your website still lists residential services first. Owners planning new buildings don't know your name yet. The work is out there, but it goes to subs the estimators already know.
We start with what estimators check first: trades, regions, project sizes, and safety record. You get a capability statement portal with spec sheets and case studies, plus your prequal packet behind one request link. Then we put your name in front of GC estimators and preconstruction managers on LinkedIn, and in front of owners through search ads. New GCs find you before they need you, not after the bid list closes.
Prequal packet on request
Bonding letter, insurance certificate, EMR, and safety records go out through one approved link.
Project proof estimators trust
Project pages by sector show scope, schedule, and photos your clients approved.
Invitations tracked by source
Every bid invitation is logged by GC and campaign, so you see which relationships grow.
Our B2B Contractor Marketing Process
From Bid Pipeline Review to More Invitations in Five Steps
Proof before promotion. You approve every document, audience, and ad before a GC or owner sees it.
We review where your last year of bid invitations came from, your prequal documents, and your website. You get a list of GCs and owners worth targeting and the proof you're missing.
What's Included
What You Get With Commercial Contractor Marketing
Six parts, one pipeline. Everything is written for the estimators and owners who decide who gets invited to bid.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built B2B websites, portals, and campaigns for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Commercial Trades Trust Us With Marketing
GC estimators check facts before they invite a sub. These habits keep your claims accurate and your pipeline measurable.
Your numbers, unedited
Bonding capacity, EMR, and safety figures come straight from your surety, insurer, and records. We don't round a number up to look bigger.
Written for estimators
Pages and ads speak to the GC estimator deciding who to invite, not to homeowners. Scope, capacity, and past projects come first.
Invitations traced to the source
Every bid invitation is logged by GC and campaign. You can see which relationships and ads actually produce paid work.
Email that respects the law
Emails carry your postal address and a working unsubscribe link, and opt-outs are honored within the 10 business days CAN-SPAM allows.
Honest ramp-up timelines
B2B relationships build over quarters, not weeks, and we say so before you sign. You still see early signals in every monthly report.
Accounts and lists stay yours
LinkedIn, Google Ads, and CRM accounts run in your company's name. Target lists and project pages stay with you if we part ways.

Good fit
Commercial HVAC and mechanical subcontractors
Your work comes from a few GCs. When one slows down, your crews sit idle and bids dry up.
Electrical and plumbing contractors
You rebuild the same prequal packet for every new GC: insurance certificate, bonding letter, EMR, and safety records.
Paving and roofing firms seeking owners
You want property owners and developers calling before the GC stage, with case studies that prove your scale.
Estimating teams tracking invitations
Your estimators juggle invitations in inboxes and spreadsheets, and nobody knows which GCs actually award you work.
Agencies serving commercial trades
You handle commercial subcontractor marketing for a client and want LinkedIn and portal work done under your brand.
Not a fit
Mostly residential jobs
Most of your work is residential repairs and homeowner jobs. Contractor Lead Generation Services is built for homeowner leads.
New website first
You need a new website before any campaigns. Commercial Roofing Marketing & Website Design is one of the one-time trade builds that start there.
Faster proposals instead
You want faster proposals once invitations arrive, not more invitations. Instant RFP & Commercial Proposal Generator Development fits that need.
Under $950 a month
Your budget can't cover $950 a month plus ad spend yet. Keep your bid platform profiles current and revisit this later.

Programs start at $950 per month for a capability statement portal, a prequal request link, LinkedIn ads to GC estimators, and invitation tracking. Case studies, owner search ads, and email outreach move you to $1,650 per month, and multi-region programs start at $2,350 per month. Ad spend is paid directly to LinkedIn and Google.
The capability portal and first LinkedIn campaigns go live in 2 to 3 weeks. Invitations then build over the following months as estimators see your name and open your prequal packet. Owner-direct work takes longer, because those projects are planned further ahead, so we report early signals like packet requests each month.
They get on more bid lists and make it easy to say yes. That means a current prequal file with each target GC and a capability statement that fits its projects. It also means regular contact with estimators before bids go out. LinkedIn ads and case studies keep your name in front of them between invitations.
The ones that answer a GC's prequal form without a phone call. Publish your regions, licenses, and project sizes openly, then share the bonding letter, insurance certificate, EMR history, and OSHA 300A summaries through a request link. An EMR below 1.0 signals a better-than-average safety record, so show the year beside each figure.
Start with what an estimator checks in the first minute: trades, regions, project size, and safety record. We build a one-page capability statement with a matching PDF, spec sheet downloads by system, and case studies filtered by sector. Each download is tracked, so you know which GC opened what before you follow up.
Because they create invitations you didn't have to wait for. Word of mouth depends on a few relationships, and one GC slowing down can empty your schedule. Targeted ads, project pages, and a prequal link add new GCs and owners to your pipeline, while referrals stay the strongest source you have.
It sells to a few informed buyers instead of many homeowners. Estimators and owners judge scope, capacity, safety, and references, and they buy through bids rather than quote forms. So campaigns target job titles and companies, pages read like capability documents, and success is counted in invitations and awards.
Job titles such as estimator, preconstruction manager, and project manager, filtered by industry and your service region. For b2b contractor lead generation aimed at owners, we add developer and facility roles. On the top plan, we upload company lists of the GCs you want. We review audience quality after 2 weeks and cut titles that don't respond.
We keep them consistent rather than run them daily. We update your trades, regions, and documents on the bid platforms your GCs use, such as BuildingConnected, so they match your capability statement. Responding to invitations stays with your estimators, because bid decisions need their judgment. If those platforms already fill your bid calendar, we'll tell you before we quote.
Your company owns all of it. LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Google Ads, and HubSpot run under your accounts with us as users. Project write-ups, photos, and target lists stay in your files. If we stop working together, you remove our access and keep every audience, page, and report.
