Based in Austin, TX. Serving all of New York

Professional websites for New York service businesses.

New York has some of the oldest housing in the country and the paperwork to match. A homeowner here is not only choosing a trade, they are checking whether you have worked in a pre-war building before, whether you carry the insurance a co-op board will demand, and whether you know what a permit costs in their borough. Buildrok builds sites that answer those three questions before the phone rings.

New York City, NY

New York City service business websites.

Almost nothing in the five boroughs is a straightforward job. Co-op and condo boards ask for certificates of insurance naming the building before anyone touches a valve, most of the housing predates the codes it is now held to, and a Department of Buildings permit turns a two-day job into a three-week one. A trade that has done this before and says so on the page is what a managing agent is actually searching for.

Written for board approvals and DOB permit work

All five boroughs and the neighborhoods inside them: Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, Astoria, Flushing, Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Williamsburg, Riverdale, Forest Hills, Jamaica, Harlem, Washington Heights, Sunset Park, Bushwick, Jackson Heights, Bensonhurst, Long Island City

Nassau and Suffolk, NY

Long Island service business websites.

Long Island is a hundred miles of detached houses, most of them on their own septic or cesspool, and Suffolk County has spent years pushing owners toward nitrogen-reducing systems with grant money attached. That is a whole category of work that only exists here. Add oil-to-gas conversions on stock built in the post-war boom and the calendar fills without anyone driving into the city.

Written for Nassau and Suffolk homeowners

Nassau and Suffolk County coverage: Hempstead, Huntington, Islip, Babylon, Oyster Bay, Smithtown, Garden City, Great Neck, Massapequa, Levittown, Freeport, Riverhead, Southampton, Port Washington, Mineola, Hicksville, Patchogue, Bay Shore, Farmingdale, Commack

Westchester and the Hudson Valley, NY

Westchester and Hudson Valley service business websites.

Westchester runs from apartment blocks in Yonkers to two-acre lots in Bedford within twenty minutes, and the same trade sells to both very differently. North of it, the river towns have absorbed a decade of people leaving the city for houses that were built in 1890 and heated with oil, so insulation, chimney work, well pumps and full mechanical replacements all sit in the same driveway.

Written for the river towns and the northern suburbs

Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess and Ulster: Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Scarsdale, Rye, Peekskill, Ossining, Nyack, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Kingston, Beacon, Middletown, Suffern, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, Tarrytown, Croton-on-Hudson, New Paltz

Buffalo and Western New York, NY

Buffalo and Western New York service business websites.

Buffalo gets lake-effect snow that arrives in feet rather than inches, and the work that follows is specific: ice dams, torn gutters, collapsed porch roofs and furnaces that chose the worst possible week. The housing is largely early twentieth century and the price of it is low enough that owners do their own renovation in stages, which makes the trades they hire a repeat relationship rather than a single job.

Written for a market that plans around winter

Erie and Niagara County coverage: Amherst, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, West Seneca, Lancaster, Orchard Park, Hamburg, Lackawanna, Niagara Falls, Lockport, Clarence, Grand Island, Depew, Kenmore, East Aurora, North Tonawanda, Williamsville, Springville

Why New York service businesses need local SEO.

A New York search is almost never just a trade. It is a trade plus a neighborhood, or a trade plus a building type, or a trade plus the words that mean somebody has already been told no once: licensed, insured, board approved, permit. Every one of those is a phrase you can put on a page honestly, and most of your competitors have not, because they wrote the page about themselves instead of about the job.

  • Name neighborhoods and hamlets, not just the borough or the county
  • Say whether you provide a certificate of insurance naming the building
  • Write a page about permits if you pull them. Nobody else explains it
  • Publish winter availability. A furnace search in January reads hours first
  • Use the local name for the work. Stoop, steam riser, cesspool, ice dam
  • 19M+People in New York, the 4th largest state by population
  • 12New York cities covered on this page

Plenty of companies cover more than one of these, and a site that names both is how the second one finds you. These are the markets next door.

New York service business website questions

Do New York service businesses need a website?

Yes, and for a reason specific to this state: a great deal of the work here has a gatekeeper. A managing agent, a board, a landlord or a building super decides whether you get called, and they check. They want to see a license number, proof you carry insurance, and evidence you have worked in a building like theirs. A one-line listing cannot carry any of that and a website can.

How much does a website for a New York small business cost?

It is one plan at $29/month, with every page, hosting, the security padlock and the domain included. Build the whole thing and look at it before paying anything. In a market where a designer's retainer can exceed the annual cost of this several times over, doing that comparison with a finished site in front of you is the only fair way to make it.

How do I rank on Google in New York as a trade?

Get specific enough to be believable. Pages about the boroughs, the hamlets or the river towns you actually cover will beat one page claiming the state, because the person searching typed a neighborhood. Fill in the Google Business Profile, including whether you travel to the customer. Collect reviews that mention the location. Keep the site quick, because a very large share of these searches happen on a phone on the move.

Which New York cities does Buildrok cover?

All of them. The four sections above are where the volume is, but the site you build describes your own territory, whether that is three blocks of Bushwick, the North Fork, or half the Southern Tier. The templates make no assumption about how much ground a company covers.
