Pay Per Call Marketing in Pierce County, WA for General Contractors

Pierce County's wet season starts in October, and the Puget Sound lowlands grow wetter from the 32 to 35 inches a year seen from the Canadian border to Seattle toward 45 inches near Centralia, south of the county (Source: wrcc-archive.dri.edu). For a general contractor that sets the year in two halves. From October the calls are about water that found its way in; through the drier months they are about projects owners have been saving for. Either way, what decides most Pierce County calls is the water and the county lines the job sits beside, more than the weather.

Calls from across the Narrows

Gig Harbor is one of the county's incorporated cities (Source: wikipedia.org), and it sits on the far side of the Narrows from Tacoma. For a crew based in Tacoma or Lakewood, a Gig Harbor kitchen means a bridge crossing each way, every day of the job. Say whether the peninsula is yours. If it is not, a Gig Harbor caller is not connected to you, however good the project sounds.

Calls from the edges

Pierce borders King, Thurston and Kitsap counties. Fife and Edgewood sit close to the King County line; the south of the county runs toward Thurston. An area code says nothing about which side of a county line a house stands on, so we confirm the street before transferring anyone, and an address over the line reaches you only if you have said you work there.

What the screen asks

• Do you own the house? Renters, about 35.3% of occupied homes (Source: censusreporter.org), are pointed to their landlord.
• What is the budget range, and when do you want to start? Both answers come with the call.
• Is water still coming in, and has the insurer been called? An open leak goes to the trade that stops it first.
• Is it one trade, or a project that needs several coordinated? Washington general contractors may hire subcontractors in multiple specialties (Source: lni.wa.gov), so you tell us which single-trade jobs you want and the screen follows that.

What arrives, and what never does

A connected call is a live owner in a county of 930,319 people and 369,709 housing units (Source: censusreporter.org), put through to one general contractor. It is exclusive: once it is yours, it is not offered to a Puyallup or Lakewood competitor. The caller's city, ownership, budget, start month and claim status travel with it.

What never reaches you, and is never billed: the permit question, the caller from University Place who wants a design idea without a decision behind it, and the address in a part of the county you told us you do not work.

The Washington rule for a general contractor taking calls in Pierce County: Washington requires all construction contractors to register with L&I; general contractors can perform most types of construction work and hire subcontractors in multiple specialties, and must post a $30,000 continuous surety bond and carry general liability insurance (Source: lni.wa.gov).
