Contractor websites in Florida

Florida is our home state, and it is strict about one thing: a licensed contractor's number belongs in every advertisement, and that includes a website. We build Florida contractor websites with the license in place, then add Google reviews, missed-call text-back and online booking.

Florida at a glance

Florida puts your license number in every ad

Florida law requires certified and registered contractors to show their license number in every advertisement regardless of medium, so it goes in the footer of every page and on your quote page. Trades the state does not license, like painting and pressure washing, win on reviews and real job photos instead. We are based in Sarasota and build for contractors across the state.

What has to be on your website in Florida

Florida requires a registered or certified contractor's license number in every advertisement, regardless of medium, which includes your website and social pages.

"The registration or certification number of each contractor shall appear in each offer of services, business proposal, bid, contract, or advertisement, regardless of medium"

Show your license on your website, in every state

Whatever you hold in Florida, a state license, a registration or a city license, we put the number in the footer of every page and on your quote page, matching your Google Business Profile. Customers look you up before they call, and a number they can verify wins the job.
