Can I showcase large high-resolution project photos without slowing down the site?

Yes. Our Albums Pod pre-compiles and optimizes all imagery across our global anycast edge network, delivering crisp full-screen photos in milliseconds without layout shift.

What does Zeso do for a general contractor that wants to be found on Google Maps?

We embed Schema.org GeneralContractor structured data declaring your licence, physical address, business category, and phone number, so a machine reads them without inference.

Should I build a page for every city I bid in?

No. A page per city is the doorway pattern: thin, interchangeable, and the reason a market discounts them. What a homeowner's search actually compares is the licence, the insurance, the address and the photographs of finished work — and those are facts you declare once, in one place, rather than restate per city.

What does a homeowner comparing three contractors need to see?

Proof that you do this work and do it here: the licence number, the insurance, the address, and the jobs you have finished. The schema can carry those facts so a machine reads them; it cannot carry the work, and it does not make you rank above a competitor.

What does the schema have to carry for a general contractor?

The type you set — GeneralContractor says more than a generic LocalBusiness — plus the licence number, the address, the service area and the phone, in the same words the page shows. The platform does not infer the type from the trade you are in; the licence is yours to declare.

The problem

The problem this solves

Contractor websites frequently fail because photos take 10 seconds to load, phone numbers are hidden, and license numbers are omitted. Property owners award high-ticket bids to builders whose websites immediately prove competence and reliability.

The payoff

What you get

Portfolio Showcase

High-resolution before-and-after albums with zero layout lag

The Albums Pod displays kitchen remodels, additions, and commercial buildouts with edge-cached image delivery and fluid lightbox browsing.

Contractor Schema

Schema.org GeneralContractor structured data

The type, the yard address, the working hours, the area you cover, your contractor's licence and your liability insurance, and the work you take on — kitchen and bathroom builds included — are declared in machine-readable JSON-LD, so a machine reads the firm instead of inferring it.

Fast Bid Requests

Streamlined project estimate intake that captures project scope

Forms Pod captures project details, square footage, budget range, and timeline directly to your estimator's phone.

How-to guides

The guides behind this

Your markup

The block your own site should carry

The type is the field you set, so it is the specific one rather than the generic LocalBusiness. Zeso builds the entity from your business details — the type, the address, the coordinates, the hours, the price band, the area you cover, the services you sell, the licence you hold and the amenities of the place.

This is the block your own site should carry. On a site Zeso hosts, the platform emits it for you — fetch the page and check it. Anywhere else, replace every value with your own, including the opening hours, the four services and the credential's name, where a licence number belongs, and put it in a script tag of type application/ld+json. It is a declaration, not a request: it tells a machine what is true about the business, and it cannot make a ranking or a map result.

The alternative

Where this differs

Home improvement lead marketplaces and bloated builder templates

What usually goes wrong

Paying a per-lead fee on a marketplace where several other general contractors bid on the same job
Heavy image galleries that crash or lag on mobile cellular connections
No schema markup for contractor license and insurance verification

The Zeso approach

Direct bid inquiries without marketplace commissions: lightning-fast project albums, GeneralContractor schema, and instant estimate request forms.
