Why do so many clients choose bad builders?
It's maddening. You pour your heart into each project, and yet, in the vast digital marketplace, you feel invisible.
With misconceptions rampant, and project home builders churning out their cookie-cutter offerings via bait and switch tactics, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.
Here’s the problem: While previously clients would call 3 builders out of the Yellow Pages, and meet with one before making their decision…
The winds of change have ushered in a digitally-empowered clientele. Before they even think to pick up a phone or draft an email inquiry, prospective clients are hard at work, combing the internet for insights, answers, and assurance. This means…
In the age where information reigns supreme, your expertise isn't solely displayed on the ground, but in the digital realm as well.
Every article not written, every post not shared, is a missed opportunity to not only generate leads but to cement your business as a leader in a highly competitive industry.
So, is your digital ambassador world-class, capturing the essence of your craft and delivering quality leads to your door?
Or is it an apprentice, still learning the ropes and failing to make the right impression?
If you're ready to transform your digital struggles into opportunities, it's time to refine your message and elevate your online persona.
Remember, in the vast sea of builders, it's not the loudest who gets heard, but the most resonant. Let's make sure your resonance is pitch-perfect.
The Battleground Has Shifted
While builders might pride themselves on an impressive closing rate once they're in direct conversation, the battle is no longer solely in the boardroom or on a call; it's in the silent assessments happening behind countless screens.
If a builder's online presence doesn't proactively quell these concerns, the digital era's empowered clients won't hesitate to drift towards competitors—whether they're flashier big names or simply more affordable options.
To truly succeed in today's market, builders must evolve their strategies. It's not just about selling a service anymore; it's about addressing concerns before they're voiced, demonstrating understanding, and positioning oneself as the go-to expert—all before that first point of direct contact.
In the digital age, the adage holds truer than ever: Forewarned is forearmed.
In the vast digital expanse, there's a beacon of hope for custom home builders—a tried and tested strategy that can slice through the noise, spotlight their unique craftsmanship, and most importantly, preemptively address the myriad of client concerns: Content Marketing.
But what makes content marketing so pivotal for custom home builders in today's age?
For starters, content marketing isn't just about telling your audience that you're the best in the business.
It's about showing them, proving it with every blog post, article, video, or infographic you produce.
It's a dialogue, a consistent communication channel that allows builders to not only showcase their expertise but also to resonate deeply with their audience's needs, wants, and fears.
And here's the clincher: the numbers undeniably back up its prowess.
According to the Content Marketing Institute (CMI)...
Content Marketing Rakes in a Whopping Three Times as Many Leads as Traditional Outbound Marketing (Yet Astonishingly, Costs 62% Less)
HubSpot's research reveals an even more compelling story: businesses that wield the power of blogging see a staggering lead growth of 165%, while those that opt out?
A comparatively meager 73%.
But let's ground these figures with a real-world example, a tale that underscores the profound impact of content.
In the book "They Ask, You Answer", there's a riveting account of a swimming pool company. Their average closing rate? A modest 10%. But…
Something Magical Happened When a Potential Buyer Consumed 30 or More Pieces of Their Content: The Conversion Rate Skyrocketed to an Astounding 80%
What's the secret? It's simple: content builds trust. It demonstrates authority, answers burning questions, and mitigates concerns. It ensures that by the time a prospect reaches out, they're not seeking a sales pitch; they're looking for a partnership. In the vast digital landscape, content doesn't just make selling easier; it transforms it into a mere formality.
To any custom home builder seeking to elevate their brand, cultivate trust, and usher in a new era of growth, content marketing isn't just an option—it's the cornerstone. Embrace it, and watch as the digital doors swing wide open.
Ryan Stannard is a case in point.

- Building roughly 25 new homes per year
- Marking up his jobs to 30%, giving him the net profit required to be a sustainable building company in the industry.
He was also leveraging the power of content marketing.
For years, while others treaded the traditional routes, Ryan embraced the content-centric approach with unwavering conviction.
Every article, video, and blog post he produced wasn’t just content—it was a piece of his brand's soul, meticulously crafted to resonate with his audience, answer their concerns, and showcase his expertise.
The results speak for themselves.
While many builders grapple with lead generation and brand trust, Ryan's digital presence is a magnet, drawing in prospects and converting them with an ease that makes the process seem almost magical. And now the same opportunity is available to you…
