Our Story

Built by a contractor
who got burned.

Hey folks, my name is Josh, and I started this marketing platform for reasons I'm about to share with you right now. And here's the thing — this isn't just my story. I believe this is the story of every contractor out there who has ever tried to do their own marketing, hired a marketing agency, or used one of those lead generation websites — and got burned.

Where it all started

For eight years, I worked for several different general contractors. I did everything — framing, remodeling, managing crews, running job sites. My last year, I was a superintendent for a pretty large general contracting company. And throughout all of that experience, one thing kept eating at me: I knew I could do it better. Better service. Better prices. More honesty.

Unfortunately, in this business, a lot of people don't operate the right way. The pie gets split by too many people, and a lot of times the companies you work for aren't 100% ethical. I always had the ambition of opening my own company and doing it the right way — being a more honest, more legitimate, and flat-out better contractor. And at the same time, building something for myself instead of making someone else rich while delivering a lesser service. So that's exactly what I did. I started my own remodeling business, and I was ready to build something great.

Two years of getting burned

What followed was two years of frustration that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I tried everything to get my phone ringing. Lead generation companies that promised "exclusive leads" — turns out they were shared with five other contractors. Marketing agencies that charged me thousands of dollars a month and delivered absolutely nothing. Website companies that built me a pretty site that never generated a single call.

And what shocked me the most wasn't that one company burned me. It was how consistent it was. Every single one. The lead generation companies, the SEO agencies, the marketing firms — they all made the same big promises and delivered the same empty results. They'd lie to your face, take your money, and leave you wondering what you did wrong.

I couldn't believe how widespread this problem is in our industry. It's not a one-off. It's a pattern. And every contractor I talk to has the same story.

I decided to learn it myself

Eventually, I stopped giving my money to agencies and services that weren't delivering. I made a decision: if nobody was going to do this right for me, I was going to learn how to do it myself. So that's exactly what I did. I dove into SEO, content marketing, branding, Google Business Profile optimization — everything. I studied it, tested it, broke it, and rebuilt it until I figured out what actually works for contractors.

And then AI changed everything. With the power of artificial intelligence, I was able to build something that no marketing agency out there is offering — literally the best package, the best recipe for contractor marketing that exists today. A complete system that handles everything from building your website to ranking it on Google to answering every phone call and scheduling appointments on your behalf.

And now with this AI method that I've implemented, I'm truly able to bring the cost down for you and give you better results than what any traditional marketing agency can offer. What used to cost contractors thousands of dollars a month with mediocre results, I can now deliver at a fraction of the price — and with results that actually move the needle.

Built for contractors like me

I built Rank Contractors because I want to share what I've learned with people like myself — contractors who have been through the same struggles, who have been burned by the same empty promises, and who deserve a marketing system that actually delivers. I know the frustrating feeling of knowing you're the best contractor in your area, but just because you're not a rocket scientist at marketing, you don't get enough calls and enough jobs. That ends here.

At the same time, I want to make a fair and honest living by doing so. No tricks. No hidden fees. No smoke and mirrors. Just a proven system, real results, and a partner who's been in your boots and genuinely cares about your success.

All I ask is for just a little bit of patience. This isn't an overnight thing — real marketing takes time to build momentum. But with just a little patience, you're going to see some really, really great results. I've seen it happen over and over, and I'm confident it'll happen for you too.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my story with you. Now let me help you write yours.

P.S. I saved you from having to look at an ugly picture of my face. You're welcome.

Every partnership starts with a call with me

I personally get on a call with every contractor before we start working together. I want to understand your business, your market, and your goals — and I want you to know exactly who you're working with. No sales reps, no account managers. Just me.
