Built only for general contractors
The marketing team your construction business actually owns.
Craftwire builds your website, ranks you locally, grows your Google reviews, and captures your leads — you stay in control. No agency. No contract. No "let me submit a ticket."
- You own your site, domain & leads
- Month-to-month, cancel anytime
- Live in days, not months
If this sounds familiar
You're renting your front door.
Most contractors on Thryv and the old Yellow-Pages outfits don't actually own the marketing they pay for. Want a change? You file a request and wait.
You can't touch your own site
Every edit — a new photo, a price, a headline — has to route through the vendor. Days pass for a five-minute change.
They hold your leads & domain
Your customers, your reviews, your domain — tangled up in their platform. Leaving means losing them or starting over.
Locked in, paying premium
Six-month contracts, setup fees, and bills that creep past $250–$500 a month — for results you can't see.
How Craftwire works
Set it up once. It runs itself.
Answer a few questions and Craftwire takes over — and keeps working every week without you chasing anyone.
Discover & build
Craftwire learns your business, audits your Google reputation, and builds a site that converts — on a domain you own.
Rank & publish
Local SEO plus a fresh article every week, written in your voice. One click to approve, or let it run.
Grow reviews
Happy customers get asked for a Google review after good jobs — and unhappy ones get caught before they post.
Capture & report
Leads land in your inbox. A simple dashboard shows what's working, with a plain-English report each month.
What you get
Everything a contractor needs to get found.
And nothing you don't. Craftwire is marketing, not another bloated all-in-one you'll never fully use.
A website you own
Fast, modern, built to turn visitors into estimate requests. Your domain, your content.
Local SEO
Rank for the searches your customers actually use, across your whole service area.
Review engine
Steady, automatic review requests that lift your Google rating month over month.
Google Business Profile
Monitored and kept accurate and active — posts, hours, and new reviews, handled.
Your own lead inbox
Inquiries route straight to you. No call centers, no leads held hostage.
Self-serve sandbox
Change your site or request content in plain language. Preview it, publish it — no ticket, no wait.

Questions, answered
The stuff contractors ask us
I'm still under contract with Thryv. Can I switch?
Yes. We'll map your renewal date and time the switch so you're never paying both. Many contractors start the build with us now and flip the switch the day their contract ends — zero downtime.
Isn't moving my website a huge hassle?
We handle it. Craftwire rebuilds your site, sets up your domain, reclaims your Google Business Profile, and points everything to the new site. You approve; we do the work.
Do I really own everything?
Yes. The site, the domain, and every lead are yours. If you ever leave, you keep them — that is the whole point.
I'm not technical. Is this for me?
Especially for you. You talk to Craftwire in plain language — "add a bathroom page," "swap that photo" — and it is done. No dashboards to learn unless you want them.
What about my existing reviews?
Your Google reviews live on your Google Business Profile, which stays yours — we don't touch them, we grow them. Your new site pulls them in live.
Stop renting. Start owning.
