Typical website build - plus an optional monthly SEO retainer.
Cut Above Carpentry is a Vancouver carpentry and general contracting company - decks, sheds, garages, basement finishing, home renovations - that was starting with nothing online. No website, no Google Business Profile, no rankings. The owner, Mark Mitchell, needed the full launch package: a site that could convert, a profile that could rank in the map results, and an SEO foundation that would let the business compete against established Vancouver contractors within months rather than years.
The market is difficult. 'Carpenter Vancouver' and its variants are contested by dozens of trades, directories and lead-generation platforms, and the map pack for carpentry in Vancouver is held by companies that have been collecting reviews for a decade. The plan had to earn a place in both the organic results and the local pack from a standing start.
We delivered the complete package over roughly two and a half months, September to November 2024, in an order designed so each piece supported the next.
Sixteen months of Search Console data - the maximum Google keeps - show a young site holding first-page positions for the core Vancouver carpentry terms against much older competitors.
Over the period the site earned about 1,145 organic clicks and 176,000 impressions. Of those clicks, 503 arrived through the Google Business Profile link (average position 4.6) and 626 through the organic home page listing - so the local pack and the organic results each carry roughly half of the site's search traffic, which is what a well-built local campaign should look like.
Non-brand positions, averaged across the sixteen months: 'carpenters vancouver' 3.5, 'carpentry vancouver' 4.7, 'vancouver carpenter' 7.3, 'carpenter vancouver' 8.6 (2,668 impressions for that one query alone). In the most recent three months, June to August 2026, the core terms sit at 'carpenters vancouver' 2.9, 'carpenter in vancouver' 3.0, 'carpentry vancouver' 4.0 and 'vancouver carpenter' 7.5. The service pages rank on their own too - 'shed contractors' at position 4 for the shed page, basement renovations at 11.
The site's average position across every query it appears for improved from around 55 in mid-2025 to between 8 and 14 in summer 2026, as low-relevance impressions fell away and the Vancouver carpentry terms consolidated on the first page.
