Local SEO built in

Local customers search for a service and a place, such as "lawn care in Plano" or "plumber near Round Rock". The builder helps your website match those searches:

• A page for every city or county you serve (up to 20), with the area in its web address (such as lawn-care-plano-tx.html), page title, description and heading, plus the neighborhoods and ZIP codes you cover.
• Your main service and city in every important place: your home page title ("Lawn Care in Plano, TX"), each service page, and even your image file names.
• Local business data search engines read: your business type (such as Plumber, HVAC business or Hair salon), the areas you serve, and breadcrumb trails.
• Strong internal links: an "Areas we serve" page, area links on your home page and service pages, and every area in your footer.
• Your Google Business Profile, linked, plus an optional map on your contact and area pages.
• A live Local SEO score out of 100 that shows exactly what to improve next.

How local search works. Google says local results depend on relevance, distance and prominence. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how close you are to the searcher matter most for the map results, while area pages help you appear for searches in the nearby towns you serve. So complete your Google Business Profile too, and keep asking for reviews.

Make each area page genuinely useful. For every area, add a few sentences only you could write: the neighborhoods you cover, the jobs you do most there, or how quickly you can arrive. Google’s spam policies warn against "doorway" pages that are identical apart from the city name, so the builder reminds you when area notes are missing or repeated.

Built for contractors

Roofers, remodelers, painters, plumbers, flooring and tile pros, electricians, HVAC companies and handymen: choose your trade under Step 1 and the builder fills in typical services, questions and the right search keywords. Then add:

• A "Request an estimate" page with a form that asks for the job, location, timeline and a photo, plus estimate buttons across your website.
• Your license, insurance, years in business and warranty in a trust bar and in every footer.
• Before-and-after projects, shown on your projects page and on the page for each town where you did the work.
• A 24/7 emergency bar with tap-to-call, if you take emergency jobs.

See everything it does on the contractor website builder page.

Five free templates, or start from scratch

• Summit, for home services and trades: bold and trustworthy.
• Bistro, for restaurants, cafés and bakeries: warm, with elegant serif headings.
• Glow, for salons, spas and wellness: soft, calm and graceful.
• Ledger, for accountants, consultants and other professional services: refined and confident.
• Market, for shops, boutiques and makers: bright and modern, with products front and center.

Each template comes with an original illustration you’re free to keep, and sample services, products, questions and "why choose us" points to edit. You can switch to a different style at any time without losing your content. Templates include sample reviews to show the layout; the builder asks you to replace them with real reviews from your customers, or delete them, before you download.

What you get

• A page for each service (up to 5) and each product (up to 5), with a photo, price, summary, what’s included or key features, more details, and links to your other services or products.
• Overview pages for your services and products, so customers can browse.
• Home, About, Reviews and Contact pages, plus a Gallery page when you add three or more photos, an FAQ page when you add common questions, a page for each service area and, for contractors, Our work and Request an estimate pages. Only the pages you need are created.
• A polished, modern design that suits any business: eight styles, your brand colors, beautiful typefaces, drop-down menus and a call bar on phones.
• Search-friendly from the start: every page has its own title and description, products and services carry the details search engines read, and you get a sitemap of every page once you add your web address.
• Fast and safe: simple pages with nothing to update or hack, and a friendly "page not found" page.

Tips for a website that wins customers

• Lead with what you do and where, such as "Friendly, reliable plumbing in Austin."
• Write a real description for each service and product: what it is, who it’s for, and what’s included. Pages with useful detail do better in search.
• Use real photos of your work, products, team or premises.
• Only use real reviews, with the customer’s permission.
• Add your website address to your Google Business Profile and social media once it’s live.

Frequently asked questions about the website builder for small businesses

Is it really free?
Yes. The builder and all five templates are free, and the website you download is yours to keep. Netlify and Cloudflare both offer free hosting for simple websites like this one. The only optional cost is your own domain name, such as yourbusiness.com, which you buy separately.

Will my website rank on Google?
No website can guarantee a ranking. The builder gives you the local SEO basics that matter: a page for each area you serve, your service and city in titles and descriptions, local business data and a fast, mobile-friendly site. Combine it with a complete Google Business Profile and a steady flow of reviews for the best results.

Which areas should I add?
The cities, towns or counties where you genuinely work. Start with the 3 to 10 places most of your customers come from, and write a short, specific note for each.

How long does it take?
About 10 minutes for most businesses: pick a template, replace the sample details with your own, and download. Adding photos and longer descriptions for each service or product takes a little longer, and you can come back any time.

Which pages will my website have?
Home, About, Reviews and Contact, a Services page with a page for each service, and a Products page with a page for each product. Add three or more gallery photos to get a Gallery page, a few common questions to get an FAQ page, service areas to get a page for each town, and projects or estimate requests to get Our work and Request an estimate pages. You need at least one service or product.

Can I sell products online with it?
Product pages show your products, prices and details, with buttons to call, email or use your own ordering link. For a full shopping cart and checkout, see our guide to website builders.

Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Once your site is live on Netlify or Cloudflare, you can connect a domain you own in their settings.

Does it include a contact form?
Yes, if you want one. Turn on "Request an estimate" under Contractor tools to add a form page. If you publish on Netlify, requests (with photos) arrive in your Netlify dashboard and by email, after a one-time setup explained in your download; check Netlify’s current plan for form limits. If you host elsewhere, choose the email option, and the form opens the visitor’s email app with their request filled in. Every page also has tap-to-call and email buttons, which most customers prefer on phones.
