How it works

Measure twice.
Market once.

Same discipline you'd run a job: check the site, set out the work, snap the line. The platform handles everything in between — you just watch the calls come in.

Free audit

DAY 1 · FREE

We scan your GBP, review count, rankings, and top competitors. You get a plain-English report showing exactly what's missing and what it's costing you in calls. No strings.

Platform onboarding

WEEK 1

Connect your Google Business Profile and website. The AI Writing Bot gets trained on your trade and tone. SEO pages, social posting, and review management go live.

Leads land, dashboard fills

DAY 30 ONWARD

Your rankings climb, reviews stack up, and quote requests start showing up in the dashboard. Weekly Intel Reports (Pro) surface what's working. You see every dollar's return — and every gap to close.

The maths is simple

Your competitors are getting
your calls right now.

The average trade job in the US is worth $350–$1,200. If being invisible on Google costs you just five calls a month — that's $25,000 to $72,000 a year walking past your phone to someone else's. Not because they're better. Because they showed up first.

About Markout

Built by a trade business,
for trade businesses.

Markout was built by a DFW turf-maintenance company owner tired of losing jobs to competitors who just showed up first on Google. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves, running our own crew — not because it looked good in a pitch deck. We're still out doing the work; this is the tool we wished someone had built for us.

FAQ

Common questions about contractor marketing software.

What is the best marketing software for contractors and trade businesses?

The best contractor marketing software combines Google review management, local SEO, and Google Business Profile activity in one place — because they all feed each other. Markout is purpose-built for trade businesses: review responses go out with one tap, city-specific landing pages build your local search ranking, and social posts keep your profile active. Plans start at $149/month with no contracts.

Does Markout work with AI search like ChatGPT?

Yes, two ways. Every plan includes a weekly AI Visibility report: Markout asks Claude, Gemini, and Llama the same questions a real customer would, then shows you whether your business gets recommended and which competitors do instead. Separately, SEO Landing Pages (Growth and Pro) are built with FAQ answers engineered to be quoted directly by AI assistants, plus the structured data those assistants read to find citable answers. We don't control what any AI model says — no one can guarantee that — but we show you where you stand and give you pages built to earn the mention.

How do I get more Google reviews for my plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or electrical business?

The most reliable method is making it effortless to ask. Markout gives you a review link and QR kit to hand customers on the spot, watches for new reviews as they land, flags negative feedback before it posts publicly, and drafts AI responses so your star rating climbs with minimal daily effort. How many you add depends on how many customers you ask — making it effortless is the biggest lever you control.

Does Markout work for small trade businesses or solo contractors?

Yes — it's designed for one- to five-person operations. The platform runs automatically in the background: review responses draft themselves, social posts publish on a schedule, and the dashboard shows you what's working without requiring a marketing person on staff. The free audit is a good first step — it shows you exactly where you stand before you spend anything.

How does local SEO work for trade businesses?

For trade businesses, local SEO means ranking in Google Maps and the local pack when someone searches "plumber near me" or "HVAC company in [city]." The key ranking factors are review count and velocity, Google Business Profile completeness and activity, and city-specific service pages on your website. Markout improves all three: the review engine drives review volume, scheduled Google Business Profile posts keep your listing active, and the SEO Landing Pages feature creates city- and service-specific pages that rank for local intent searches — without a developer.

Do I have to replace my existing website?

No. The SEO Landing Pages feature works alongside your existing site — it's best used for additional city- and ZIP-specific service pages that rank for local searches. If your current site has issues hurting your visibility, the audit will flag them specifically, and the decision on what to do is yours.

Does Markout send text messages or emails to my customers?

No. Markout focuses on making you easy to find — SEO pages, Google Business Profile posts, reviews, and competitor intel. You keep full control of customer outreach.

Is there a lock-in contract for contractor marketing software?

Not with Markout. It's month to month — cancel with 14 days notice. Your data is always yours: reviews, landing pages, and rankings history. We don't hold anything hostage. If the platform isn't earning the fee, you walk. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
