Motown Renovations case study

our own renovation network, built to answer the homeowner first.

Motown Renovations is Ervin’s own. After 17+ years in Metro Detroit construction, he started it to connect homeowners with his roster of licensed, insured contractors. The site had to do the whole job: answer the question, earn the trust and take the request.

Trade pages

A page for the question the homeowner is actually asking.

Every trade gets a main page and five more: what it costs, how the work goes, the materials, how to hire and how the options compare. The quote form sits on every one of them.

  • Pages: 205
  • Trades: 29
  • Communities: 16
  • 29 trades, from kitchen remodeling and roofing to HVAC and custom glass
  • 5 pages under every trade: cost, process, materials, hiring and comparison
  • 16 community pages across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties

The leak

A network with no showroom has to win on the page.

There’s no storefront and no truck fleet to fall back on. Every request starts with a search.

The question homeowners kept asking Ervin was always the same: who do I call, and is this quote fair? Motown Renovations exists to answer it, free for the homeowner, by matching them with a contractor from a roster he trusts.

That only works if the homeowner finds the network at the moment they’re asking. They search for the job, the price and the town: “kitchen remodel cost,” “roof replacement Troy,” “is vinyl or hardwood better.” A brochure site with a list of services answers none of those.

So the depth sits where homeowners actually search, on cost, process, materials, hiring and comparisons for each trade, instead of multiplying every service by every city into thin pages. Because it’s our own network, the structure is the one we’d recommend to anybody who lives on inbound requests.

What we built

Twenty-nine trades, each with the answers behind it.

Structure

Eight service groups

Remodeling, painting and drywall, roofing and exterior, flooring, kitchen and bath, carpentry and concrete, mechanical, and custom glass, each grouping the trades a homeowner would look for together.

Trades

29 trades, six pages each

A main page for every trade, plus cost, process, materials, hiring and comparison pages, so the question behind the search has a page of its own.

Pricing

Typical ranges up front

Trade pages state a typical project range, like $25,000 to $75,000 for a kitchen, so homeowners know if they’re in the right place before they ask.

Local search

16 community pages

From Birmingham and Troy to Canton, Clarkston and Macomb Township, so local searches land on a local page.

Request

A quote form built for matching

Project type, city, property type, timeline and budget, the details needed to match the right contractor, on every trade and community page, with a call button beside it.

Platform

Static and fast

Pre-built pages served from Netlify’s network, so a homeowner on a phone gets the page, and the form, immediately.

The outcome

What the network runs on now.
