Editorial
Editor’s take
405 Media Group positions itself as a lead generation partner for blue-collar home services trades, with roofing, asphalt, and paving contractors among their named client verticals. The Minneapolis-based agency emphasizes transparent reporting and monthly performance reviews as core to their client relationships, alongside a stated track record of high client retention. Their focused combination of SEO, paid search, and web design makes them a well-matched option for home-services contractors prioritizing search visibility and reputation management.
What they do
Services
Search Engine Optimization
Organic search work targeted at contractor buyer-intent queries (roof replacement, asphalt paving, emergency service terms) in the local markets where 405's clients operate. The pitch is lead volume and job conversion rather than keyword rankings in isolation.
Paid Search & Google Ads
SEM campaigns built around high-intent home-services keywords, paired with Google Local Services Ads to capture the pay-per-lead, Google-screened slot above standard PPC results. Positioned as a fast-start channel while SEO compounds.
Website Design
Conversion-oriented websites for contractors, with layout and trust elements (licensing, reviews, service area, call-to-action placement) selected based on what 405 says it has tested across its client base. Sites are treated as lead-capture machines, not brochures.
Reputation Management
Review monitoring and response programs aimed at protecting contractors whose close rates are tightly linked to star ratings on Google and industry directories. Includes workflow for generating reviews from completed jobs.
Commercial Reach Out
An outbound lead-generation program built specifically to open relationships with property managers and commercial accounts in a contractor's service area. This is the service most differentiated from a typical home-services SEO shop, which tends to focus exclusively on residential demand capture.
Video Production
Short-form video assets used on client websites, landing pages, and ad creative to humanize contractors and explain services. Positioned as a conversion asset rather than a brand play.
