Every ADU builder we talk to is running into the same three problems.

01
No Marketing Playbook for a New Category
ADUs are an emerging search category. The traditional home improvement marketing playbook doesn't fit — homeowners spend weeks researching costs, permit timelines, and contractor options before they call anyone. Without content that answers those questions, you're invisible during the research phase that drives every decision.
02
General Contractors Are Diluting Your Category
When homeowners search "ADU builder [city]," they see a mix of specialists and generalists. General contractors who've done one or two ADUs are showing up alongside you — and without strong reviews, a well-optimized GBP, and ADU-specific content, there's nothing to tell them apart. Your specialization needs to be visible to win the project.
03
The Research Phase Decides the Job Before You're Ever Called
Homeowners researching ADUs Google "how long does a garage conversion take in [city]" and "ADU permit cost [city]" before they contact a single contractor. If your site or GBP doesn't answer those questions, the homeowner who calls you is already comparing you to a competitor who did. Showing up in that research phase is the entire game.

★★★★★

"We were doing 2 consultations a week, mostly from Nextdoor referrals. Four months after launching with AVBOOST, we're averaging 9 consultations a week and we're booked out 7 months. The permit timeline content alone brought in 4 projects in the first 60 days — homeowners who found us on Google while researching the process and called us because we were the ones who actually explained it."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

Pricing depends on your market and how competitive ADU search is in your area, with most ADU builders starting around a flat monthly fee that covers Google Business Profile work, content, reviews, and reporting. There are no long contracts and no setup fees. You stay because the consultation pipeline keeps filling, not because paperwork traps you. Cancel with 30 days notice anytime.

How long until I see more consultation requests come in?

Most ADU builders see their first Map Pack movement within about 30 days of launch, since we fully optimize your profile and deploy permit and cost content fast. Meaningful increases in consultation volume typically build over the following 60 to 90 days as your reviews grow and your ADU specific content starts ranking. Google Ads can bring high intent calls sooner while organic ranking catches up.

What do you actually do for an ADU builder every month?

We optimize your Google Business Profile for every ADU type you build, from detached units to garage conversions and JADUs. We create permit timeline and cost content that answers what homeowners research first, run your before and after photo system, manage Google Ads for high intent searches, request reviews after every project, and send monthly reporting on consultation volume and Map Pack position.

How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing this myself?

Big agencies treat ADU builders like any home services account and miss that homeowners spend weeks researching permits and costs before calling. Doing it yourself means choosing between marketing and running jobs. We focus only on local businesses and build around the ADU research phase specifically, so your specialization shows up where generalists do not. You get a direct line to your account manager, not a ticket queue.

Homeowners can't tell me apart from general contractors who dabble in ADUs. Can you fix that?

That is the core problem we solve. When someone searches ADU builder in your city, they see specialists and generalists side by side. We position you as the dedicated ADU expert through a profile optimized for every unit type, permit and cost content that proves you know the process, and a steady stream of post project reviews. Most clients find that visible specialization is what wins the larger project.
