Our Mission

Good work compounds.

When the right homeowner finds the right builder, the house gets built at the quality it should be. The builder stays busy. The crew stays employed. The family lives in a place that was built right, for the rest of their lives.

SEO is the thing that connects those two people. We take that seriously.

Sound familiar?

We already know.

You've been here before. Somebody promised you first-page rankings. They had a nice pitch and a 12-month contract. Six months in, you couldn't tell what they'd done, and when you asked, the answers didn't make sense. Or maybe they did some work, but when you canceled, your rankings vanished because the whole thing was held together with shortcuts.

You're not stupid for having trusted them. The SEO industry is thick with companies that sound competent and aren't. A business owner who's great at building homes shouldn't also have to be an expert at evaluating marketing vendors. But you had to learn the hard way, and now you're cautious.

That's fair.

Now you need someone who'll just tell you the truth.

What your site actually needs. What it doesn't. How long it's going to take. What it'll cost. And then do the work, show you what happened, and let you decide every month whether it's worth continuing.

That's what we do.

Who you're working with

I'm Jens. I've been doing this for over twenty years.

I started as a high school English teacher. I taught a propaganda unit that got pretty intense: we'd study how messaging works, why people believe what they believe, and how to spot when someone's trying to move you somewhere you didn't choose to go. The kids loved it. I loved it. Then I found out I could make more money on the internet than I could teaching, which says more about teacher salaries than it does about me.

Twenty-some years later, I run a small SEO agency that works exclusively with local service businesses. Home builders, remodelers, roofers, plumbers, chiropractors. One client per market, so your competitors can't also hire me. Month-to-month, so I can't coast on a contract. My ego is on the hook for your results. That's the arrangement.

I'm a nerd who loves the puzzle. Search changes constantly, the data is messy, and most of the industry is wrong about what's coming next. That's what makes it interesting. You want a nerd in your corner.

From our clients

What clients say.

"Before starting with Floodlight SEO we were spending too much of our marketing budget on things that weren't working. We knew that using the Internet was key to growing our business but we wanted to make sure we used it correctly. Jens at Floodlight SEO met with us and clarified the entire process including what we should be focusing on and what we should avoid. Now that we've been working with Floodlight SEO we've had consistently great seasons and have grown our business as a result of their efforts. Choosing to work with Floodlight SEO is a smart decision."

Based off of our internal tracking, the marketing we do with Floodlight SEO has a higher ROI than any other marketing activity we engage in. They are easy to work with and are very good at what they do. I wholeheartedly recommend Floodlight SEO."

"We are very happy with Floodlight SEO. They're easy to work with, take good care of our business, and have provided a great return on our marketing investment. Before working with them we didn't have strong online presence, but after they took over our campaigns we've seen really good results."

How this works

Built different on purpose.

One client per market.
If you're a home builder in your city, nobody else in that city can hire us for home builder SEO. Your competitive intelligence stays yours. Your strategy stays yours. We work for you, not against you.
Month-to-month. Always.
No 12-month lockups. No early termination fees. You stay because it's working, not because you signed something. Smart business owners have been paying us a cancelable bill for over a decade. The only glue is that it keeps working.
Real people, real work.
No offshore content farms. No AI-generated garbage with your name on it. A small team that understands your business and your market, doing work that actually moves the needle. When you call, someone answers who knows your name.
"I've used other companies for SEO without much change in leads for my business and really was not interested in spending the money to continue. I am so glad I took the chance in contacting Floodlight. They are so easy to work with, took the time to understand our business and our ideal clients, and worked to optimize our business in that area. Our leads have gone up, and it allows our website to educate and inspire patients like it was designed to. The ROI definitely proves it was a good decision."
Maudie Louisianavia Google Reviews

"We have seen our Google search ratings climb to the very top in five or six categories. Floodlight SEO has been one of our best-ever marketing investments."

Why we're selective

We're picky about who we work with.

We only take on companies whose work we'd recommend to someone we care about. A home builder whose name is on the house and who means it. A remodeler who fixes the problem behind the wall even when nobody would notice. The kind of business where the owner loses sleep over a callback.

When that kind of company gets found by the right customer, something good happens that goes beyond the transaction. The house gets built right. The crew stays working. The family that lives there gets something that lasts.

We've turned down clients who would have paid well because their work wasn't something we could stand behind. Some money is poison money. If your name is on it and that means something to you, we're probably a good fit.

Common questions

Before you book.

What does this cost?
Between $1,000 and $5,000 per month, depending on market difficulty. A home builder in a mid-size city with moderate competition is different from one in a major metro going up against established national brands. We'll tell you where you fall on that range during the call.
How long before I see results?
SEO is slow. Some movement happens in 2-3 months. Meaningful results usually take 6-12 months. Anyone who promises first-page rankings in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that will get your site penalized. We'll give you an honest timeline for your specific market.
Why month-to-month? What's the catch?
There's no catch. We don't lock clients in because we don't need to. Our average client tenure is over two years. Some have been with us for over a decade. When the work is good, people stay. When it's not, they should be free to leave.
What if I've been burned by SEO before?
Most of our clients have. The industry has no shortage of companies that overpromise and underdeliver. We're not going to tell you we're different and ask you to take our word for it. We'll show you what we're going to do, explain why, do it, and report what happened. Every month. You'll know exactly what you're paying for.
Do you work with my competitors?
No. One client per market, per vertical. If you're a home builder in your city and you work with us, no other home builder in your city can. Your strategy and your competitive data stay exclusively yours.
What happens on the call?
We'll look at where you are now, where you want to be, and whether we can realistically help you get there. If we can, we'll tell you what it would take and what it would cost. If we can't, we'll tell you that too. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just an honest conversation.
