Top Handyman Keywords on Page 1 in Two Months

When Wam Bam Handyman came to Elite SEO Consulting, their Wix-built website had just seven pages, no keyword rankings, and zero online authority. Their jobs came almost entirely from paid lead platforms like Thumbtack and Angieslist, resulting in low-margin, same-day work and no path to sustainable growth.

Within 60 days of launching our SEO program, we ranked Wam Bam Handyman on Page 1 of Google for over 50 local handyman services, including:

  • Colorado Springs drywall patching

  • Handyman for door frame repair

  • Home EV charger installation in Colorado

  • deck repairs handyman Colorado Springs

  • Window and door sealing service

We published 53 new service pages and seven localized city pages targeting high-intent, low-competition searches, allowing us to achieve rapid traction without spending a single dollar on ads.
