For building material distributors

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The searcher is standing near a site”

    A mason who runs short of material searches on a phone, from the site. The map shows the nearest names with a call button. If your profile is missing, a competitor's godown gets the call.

  • “Your delivery area is not your address”

    A distributor in an industrial area may supply sites across several towns. A profile that lists only a street address understates reach, while one that lists the whole state promises more than a lorry can deliver.

  • “Brands and product groups belong on the profile”

    A profile that says only building materials tells a searcher nothing. Cement, tiles, pipes, paints and fittings, each named, let the profile match the specific material a person needs.

  • “Reviews come from the site, not the showroom”

    A distributor with few walk-in customers gets few reviews. The reviewer worth asking is the contractor whose delivery arrived on the day, and the ask has to be made by someone who visits.

What we do

What we deliver for building material distributors.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A verified and complete profile

    Name, address, hours, phone, business type, product list and attributes entered and checked for the godown and any showroom.

    Result: The profile matches what a visitor finds at the gate.

  2. A delivery area drawn from your lorry routes

    Towns and localities you actually deliver to, entered as the service area rather than a wide circle.

    Result: Searchers outside your route stop calling for material you cannot send.

  3. Product and brand listings

    Each brand and material group added as a product or service with a photograph from your own godown.

    Result: A search for a specific material can match your profile.

  4. A review request for contractors

    A short message sent after a delivery is received, with the review link, written for a site engineer to answer in a minute.

    Result: New reviews come from the buyers you supply.

  5. Replies to reviews and questions

    A written reply to every review and any question asked through the profile.

    Result: Each comment shows a named person answering.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for these building material distributors.

  • Residential builders and apartment developers
  • Civil contractors on commercial and industrial sites
  • Independent house owners building with a mistri
  • Retail dealers and hardware shops in the surrounding towns
  • Interior and finishing contractors
  • Architects and structural consultants who specify brands
  • Housing societies and institutions doing repairs
  • Plumbing, electrical and tiling contractors who buy for their jobs

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have a godown with no counter, and you do not take walk-in buyers, so a map entry would bring callers you cannot serve.
  • The profile would be set up once and never updated, and stale hours and stock would send masons to a shut gate.

How it works

How the local SEO work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Write down what is true

    Each branch's real address, signboard name, phone, hours and owning Google account go into one record you sign off. Every later listing is copied from it.

  2. 2

    Search as your buyer does

    We search each branch on a phone from points around it, in your buyers' words, and note who appears with what reviews and photos.

  3. 3

    Fix the profile first

    Ownership first, then name, address, pin, phone, hours and business type. Google can suspend a profile with extra words in its name or an address that is not a real premises.

  4. 4

    Build the branch pages and match the listings

    Each real branch gets its own page, and the other listings are changed to agree with it. We write none for towns without a branch, because Google treats near-identical pages as doorway pages.

  5. 5

    Ask, reply and measure

    We agree with each branch who asks for reviews, when and how. Results are set against the baseline recorded before work began, and the branch that is behind gets the next round.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a showroom to have a Google profile?
A profile can serve a godown or an office if customers visit, and a service-area profile can serve a delivery business that does not receive visitors. Check the platform's current rules for which applies to you.
Why does a rival with a smaller godown rank above us?
The map result weighs distance, the match between the search and the profile, and the profile's activity and reviews. A complete profile near the searcher can beat a larger business with a thin one.
Do we need a showroom to have a profile?
No. A godown or office with an address and a phone line can hold a profile, and you can set the service area where you deliver. State plainly that you supply to sites and trade buyers, so a visitor does not arrive expecting a showroom.
Why does a rival with a smaller godown show first?
The map weighs distance, how complete the profile is and how it matches the search. A rival may be nearer to the searcher or have filled out more of its profile. Complete yours with brands, photos and service areas, and check the platform's current rules.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
