How do contractors advertise?

September 30, 2024

Like any other industry, advertising for construction companies requires a blend of traditional and digital strategies to reach potential clients effectively. Contractors can utilise several advertising channels, including online platforms, social media, search engine advertising, and industry-specific marketplaces. 


Below, we'll explore the key advertising methods you should consider and highlight how Constructiv Digital can help you maximise their impact.

Traditional vs. digital advertising: The basics

Previously, contractors relied heavily on traditional advertising methods such as print ads in industry magazines, billboards, and trade shows. While these methods can still be effective, the shift towards digital marketing provides a more measurable, cost-effective, and targeted approach.


Digital advertising allows contractors to reach a broader audience, track real-time campaign performance, and make data-driven decisions to improve ROI. At Constructiv Digital, we specialise in crafting tailored digital strategies for construction companies, ensuring their advertising efforts are seen and acted upon.

Website builds and SEO

A website is often the first point of contact for potential clients where they can learn about services, view past projects, and contact the contractor directly. It's essential that the website is professionally designed, easy to navigate, and optimised for search engines (SEO). SEO helps your website rank higher on Google, making it easier for clients to find you when searching for construction services.
