Where Peterson SEO excels

A systemized process with numbers that speak to restoration owners. The Restoration Domination System isn't just a branded name — it's a structured, repeatable playbook for ranking restoration companies in local search. And the metrics they track are the ones that matter to you: keyword visibility, local visits, and phone calls. Not impressions. Not click-through rates. Calls. 163 of them in 30 days tells you the system generates the activity that turns into booked jobs.

And if you're a restoration contractor specifically, that trade depth counts for something. Peterson SEO knows the seasonal surges, the buyer hesitations, and the search patterns that generalist agencies miss entirely.

Where Fervor differs as a Peterson SEO alternative

Peterson SEO and Fervor cover overlapping ground — SEO, Google Ads, conversion work — but the shape is different. Peterson SEO runs that playbook across many industries. Fervor runs it for contractors only, and ties every channel to the same number: booked jobs per visitor. So if you're pulling 2,000 visits a month and the phone only rings 9 times, we don't argue about whether the problem is traffic or conversion. We diagnose which one is actually leaking and fix that side of the funnel.

(Quick way to tell where your gap is: check your Google Analytics. Under 500 monthly sessions usually means you need more visibility — SEO, GBP, paid search. Over 1,000 and the phone still isn't ringing means the conversion path is leaking. Fervor works on both, contractor-side.)

Revenue per visitor

Your traffic has a dollar value. But most agencies won't calculate it because the number isn't always flattering. We measure what each visitor is actually worth in booked revenue, then rank your fixes by which ones move that number fastest.

The Site Inspection

Before we recommend a single change, we score your site across 6 categories against 343 national contractor brands. You get a Fervor Grade™ and a ranked fix list. No sales call required. And no money changes hands.

Conversion-first design

Booked by Design™ doesn't start with a homepage mockup. It starts with conversion benchmarks from 18 trades we've already scored. So layout decisions, CTA placement, form position, the order your services appear on the page, even which photo goes above the fold — all of it is backed by what actually gets contractors booked.

Choosing the right agency for your business

Choose Peterson SEO if:

  • You need an agency that only works with restoration contractors
  • You want restoration-specific keyword strategy and campaign management
  • You value restoration domination system™ — 158% keyword increase, 163 calls in 30 days

Choose Fervor if:

  • Your site gets traffic but your close rate from web leads sits under 5%
  • You want to know exactly which pages are bleeding leads right now
  • You need a website rebuilt around revenue per visitor, not just how it looks
  • You want a Canada-based agency that works with US and Canadian contractors

One more thing. Peterson SEO and Fervor cover overlapping ground. The honest split is shape, not service line: Peterson SEO is built for breadth across industries; Fervor is built for depth across contractor trades, with revenue-per-visitor measurement on every account. Some contractors review both options and pick the fit that matches the way their team thinks about marketing.
