What does "five per city" actually mean?

TradeCraft Builds accepts a maximum of five contractors per trade in each metropolitan area — five plumbers, five HVAC contractors, five electricians, and so on. Once the fifth slot in a trade fills, we stop selling that trade in that city permanently. Direct competitors cannot buy in afterward.

Who builds the website?

The senior team at Fifty & Five — the same agency that has built 222+ brands since 2008, including work in adjacent categories for Appliance Parts Pros, UTI Transportation, and Enterprise Holdings. AI accelerates production; senior strategists and creatives lead every build.

Is this AI-generated or human-built?

Both, by design. Brand judgment, copy direction, creative review, and customer relationships stay with the senior team that has built 222+ brands over eighteen years. AI handles the throughput — site production from intake, schema and AEO entity work, directory submissions across 40+ platforms, review automation, and monthly performance reports. The operating model is what makes a ten-day sprint at this price point possible without compromising on craft.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

Answer Engine Optimization is the discipline of structuring a brand so that AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude — cite it when answering buyer questions. When a homeowner asks "who is the best plumber in Orlando?", the AI returns a short list of named businesses. AEO engineers your presence to be one of them.

How long does the build take?

Ten calendar days from the moment intake is completed. Monopoly tier ships in seven. If the site is not live within ten days, the setup deposit is refunded in full.

What happens if I cancel?

The exclusive slot opens to the next contractor on the waitlist for that trade in that city. Cancellation is straightforward — we make it easy by design. The structural consequence is that the territory passes to a competitor, which is the intended retention mechanism of the model.

Is the setup deposit refundable?

The setup deposit is applied to the first month of service. If we do not deliver the live site within ten days of completed intake, the deposit is refunded in full.

How is this different from Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor?

Lead marketplaces sell the same lead to three to five contractors at once; close rates run below 15%. TradeCraft Builds builds a property the contractor owns — domain, site, reviews — where leads arrive uncontested. Close rates typically run 40–60%.

What is included in the social media add-on?

For $299/month, the Fifty & Five social team produces and publishes twelve posts per month across Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile. Captions written in the contractor's voice, approved monthly in five minutes.

Why TradeCraft Builds in Miami / Fort Lauderdale

What makes this different.

TradeCraft Builds isn’t a directory. It isn’t a lead marketplace. It is the productized version of an eighteen-year senior-led brand-building practice — applied, exclusively, to one contractor per trade in Miami / Fort Lauderdale.

Once a trade fills here, it closes. The fifth plumber, HVAC contractor, handyman, electrician, or general contractor to reserve a Miami slot locks the trade — and the contractors who arrive after them cannot buy in, no matter what they offer.

FAQ — Miami / Fort Lauderdale

Questions specific to this market.

Do you handle bilingual / Spanish-language SEO for South Florida?

Yes. The Miami-Dade market has substantial Spanish-language search demand, and we build Spanish-language landing pages, GBP categories, and review request flows where the contractor wants them. AEO entity work is configured for both English and Spanish citation contexts.

Why does HVAC marketing perform differently in Florida vs other markets?

Florida HVAC demand is non-seasonal — air conditioning runs nearly year-round in the humid subtropical climate. That means search volume for "AC repair near me" and adjacent queries stays elevated twelve months a year, while northern markets see sharp summer spikes and winter troughs. The implication for marketing: your site needs to be optimized for emergency-intent and same-day language constantly, not just in July and August.

How does Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) work in this market?

When a homeowner asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews "who is the best [trade] in [city]?", the AI returns a short list of named businesses. That list is engineered, not random — it is built from structured data, citations, named-entity signals, and review density. TradeCraft Builds engineers your business to be one of the few named businesses in that list. Most contractors in this market are not in those answers today.
