10 reasons contractors hand their website to KeptWeb
Customers compare a few websites before they call. Here's how we make sure yours is current, fast and easy to contact.
License and insurance info kept current
Renewed your license or changed insurance? We update the numbers and details you provide so homeowners and GCs see what's current.
Service areas that match where you work
Added a city or stopped driving to another? We update your service-area pages so the right customers find you.
Project galleries with fresh photos
Send us before-and-after photos from recent jobs and we add them, so your gallery shows current work, not projects from years ago.
Quote request forms that actually arrive
A broken estimate form means lost jobs you never hear about. We check your quote forms and contact links work.
Fast on phones
Most people looking for a contractor are searching on their phones. We keep your site mobile-friendly and watch for slow pages, which also helps your site be search-friendly.
Click-to-call that works
Your phone number tappable and correct on every page, checked as part of your care.
Services and specialties up to date
Added remodeling, roofing or ADUs? We update your services pages to match the work you want.
Review links, not fake reviews
We add links to your Google or other review profiles so customers can read and leave real reviews. We never write or post reviews for you.
Security, backups and monitoring
Software updates, security checks, backups and monitoring on every plan, so your site is up when someone needs you.
Flat pricing, month-to-month, you own it
Plans from $49/mo, month-to-month, cancel anytime online or by email. Your website and content belong to you.

What a general contractor's website should show: your B license, project galleries and bid requests
California general building contractors are licensed by CSLB under the B General Building classification. Under Business and Professions Code section 7057, a B contractor's principal business is in connection with structures "requiring in its construction the use of at least two unrelated building trades or crafts." CSLB also issues a separate B-2 Residential Remodeling classification and specialty C classifications (CSLB's list of license classifications).
CSLB reminds licensed contractors to include their license number in their advertising, including websites (Business and Professions Code section 7030.5), to advertise only within the classifications they hold, and not to advertise that they are bonded.
How we can show it on your site
- Your license number and each classification you hold, for example "B General Building", in the footer of every page and on your contact page.
- A link to CSLB's online license check so clients can confirm your license status.
- Project gallery pages organized by job type, such as kitchens, additions or tenant improvements, using the photos and descriptions you send us.
- A bid-request form that works, checked as part of your care, and an insurance and permits section that shows only the details you provide.
Added a classification or renewed your license? Send us the new details and we update every page where they appear.
This is general information, not legal advice. Check CSLB's current rules, or ask your own advisor, for what applies to your business. Keeping your license active and the details on your site accurate stays with you.

Questions contractors ask us
Can you update our license and insurance info?
Yes. Send us the current details and we update them. Keeping your license and insurance active, and making sure what's listed is accurate, stays with you.
Will you post reviews for us?
No. We'll link to your real review profiles and can add a 'leave us a review' link, but we don't write, buy or post reviews.
Can you build a contractor website?
Yes. Starter (1–5 pages) is $349 or $0 with any 12-month plan; Business (6–10 pages) is $849 or $0 with a 12-month Growth or Pro plan. Extra pages, such as more service-area pages, are $99 each.

Not for monthly plans on their own. Maintenance plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime online or by email. $0 and discounted builds need a 12-month plan; if you cancel early, you pay only the unpaid part of the build fee (see how it's calculated).

Yes. Your website and content belong to you, not us.

You do. Your domain, hosting and site logins stay in your name, and you can remove our access at any time.
