Your Best Work Is Hidden Behind a Business Card. Let's Change That.
Painting is a visual trade — customers hire on reputation and what they can see. We build the online portfolio and review presence that shows your work to every homeowner searching for a painter in your area, and gets your phone ringing without Angi taking a cut.
- Before/after gallery website — your best projects front and center where customers actually look
- Google Business Profile with job photos, services listed, and accurate service area
- Review acquisition after every job — automated text, painless for you and the customer
- Google Local Service Ads — pay per verified call, not per lead split with a marketplace
- Houzz + Nextdoor presence — where homeowners plan and ask for painter referrals
- Instagram content strategy — before/after reveal posts that get shared in local neighborhood groups
- Programmatic SEO — "interior painter [city]" and "exterior painter [suburb]" pages
- Competitor displacement — rank above the big paint franchise operations on local search
Three things holding your painting business back from the jobs you actually want.
Three Steps to Owning Your Local Painting Market
We start with a free audit of everything a potential customer sees when they search for a painter in your area. Then we close the gaps — fast.
Free Audit — See What Customers See
We pull your Google Business Profile, your Map Pack ranking for "painter near me" and "interior painter [city]," your review count vs. competitors, and any Angi/Thumbtack spend you're currently running. You see exactly what's working and what's holding you back before we discuss anything else.
We Build Your Portfolio and Pipeline
Portfolio website with before/after galleries, optimized Google Business Profile with your job photos, review acquisition system, Google Local Service Ads, and your first Nextdoor campaign — all live within 30 days. We use photos from your real jobs, not stock imagery.
Leads Come Directly to You — Not Through a Middleman
Live dashboard with call tracking, review counts, and ranking positions. Monthly report with your account manager. As your portfolio grows and your reviews climb, so does your Map Pack ranking — a compounding advantage that makes every future customer easier and cheaper to win.
"I was spending $800 a month on Angi leads and sharing every single one with three other painters. I'd win half of them by dropping my price. AVBOOST set up my own Google presence and a portfolio site with my before/after photos, and within 90 days I stopped Angi entirely. Now I get 10 to 12 direct calls a month, I'm quoting full price, and I'm closing 7 out of 10. I should have done this two years ago."
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?
Pricing depends on your market and which services you need, so we quote it on a free strategy call rather than a one-size number. What we can tell you upfront: no long-term contracts, no setup fees, and month-to-month billing. If it is not working, you give 30 days notice and walk. You own your portfolio and Google presence either way.
How long until I start getting more calls from homeowners?
Your portfolio site, optimized Google Business Profile, review system, and first ads go live within about 30 days. From there, most painters start seeing more direct calls in the 30 to 60 day window. Map Pack ranking compounds over time, so the gains usually keep building as your before/after gallery and review count grow each month.
What do you actually do for a painting business?
We build a before/after portfolio site that shows your real jobs, optimize your Google Business Profile with job photos and service area, and set up automated review texts after each project. We run Google Local Service Ads that charge per verified call, plus Houzz and Nextdoor presence and local SEO pages. You watch it all on a live dashboard.
How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing it myself?
Big agencies hand painters a generic template and a junior account rep. DIY means learning ads and SEO at night after a full day on the jobsite. We focus only on local trades like yours, use photos from your actual projects instead of stock, and give you one account manager and a monthly report. You stay hands-on with painting, not marketing.
Painting slows down in winter. Does this still pay off in the off-season?
That is exactly why an owned pipeline beats paying Angi per lead. During the busy exterior season you bank reviews and add fresh before/after work to your gallery. That growing review count and Google ranking keep your phone warm through the slower months for interior jobs, so you are not starting from zero every spring when the work picks back up.
What is the first step to get started?
It starts with a free audit. We pull your Google Business Profile, your Map Pack ranking for searches like interior painter near you, your review count against local competitors, and any Angi or Thumbtack spend you are running. You see exactly what homeowners see today and where the gaps are, with no obligation, before we ever discuss working together.
