Major Search Engines Are Directing Buyers of Commercial Construction and Design Services to jobsite123.com
Feb 9, 2011 commercial construction industry, marketing tips
Craig Noble
jobsite123.com is the digital bridge that allows buyers to find the complete credentials of commercial construction and design companies through any of the major search engines: Google, Yahoo or Bing.
First, we researched the industry in order to be able to coach companies to display the exact information that buyers need when searching online for qualified companies for their commercial construction projects. Then, we went LIVE with search functions for users to find members within our community by: company name, building specialty, service area, and keywords that describe the work a company performs. And now, we have launched THE plug-in tool that allows buyers to find the exact company information they desire through any of the major search engines.
Check out the number one search results in the following buyer behavior examples:
1) Let’s say you’re a general contractor and you met a painting contractor at an industry networking event last night that said he meets your bonding requirements. Before calling him, you could easily find out for sure by doing THIS.
2) You’re the Facility Manager for the Miami Heat Arena, and you were referred to Artistic Surfaces for your very elaborate terrazzo project that spans the entire second floor concourse. You trust your referral’s recommendation, but you want to know what others have to say about Artistic Surfaces’ work, so you just do THIS.
3) You’re an architect, and you were asked by one of your clients to recommend a good full service interiors contractor that has healthcare experience. You’ve worked with Lotspeich Company of Florida on office and retail projects before, but you don’t know for sure that they have experience working in hospitals, so you do THIS.
Want this to work for your company? Just maintain a complete construction company profile in jobsite123, and we take care of the rest!
Member companies in jobsite123 benefit with higher visibility in the three major search engines for all of their most marketable credentials: completed projects, insurance coverage, bonding capacity, client ratings and more. Over a quarter million companies that work in and around the commercial construction and design industry have already started a profile in jobsite123.
We are obsessed with improving the bottom line of every company in the commercial construction and design industry by making the buying and selling process more efficient and informed.
Feel free to build a profile in our community and ride on our coattails as we flex our interet marketing muscles and attract buyers of commercial construction and design services.
Is Price Really all that Matters Right Now to Land Commercial Construction Projects?
Dec 8, 2010 Surveys, marketing tips
Craig Noble
I hear the buzz in the industry just like everyone else…there’s a concern that it’s currently a foregone conclusion that projects are being awarded soley on price, and that industry relationships no longer matter. So, I decided to find out what the masses really had to say about the matter by including the question in one of our surveys. I think you will find the results encouraging.
Keep in mind as you read on, our national database of architects, engineers, general contractors, specialty contractors, material suppliers and other companies related to the commercial construction industry is who answers our surveys. These businesses are then able to apply the results to their strategic planning when they receive the responses via email the following week.
The exact survey Q&A was:
When your company converts a project lead into a contract, is it most often the result of RELATIONSHIP or PRICE?
RELATIONSHIP 55%
PRICE 45%
So, what this information tells us is that despite the industry buzz, more than half of the project decision-makers are still primarily considering their business relationships when awarding work to companies. Therefore, it bears repeating that you should continue to maintain a high level of awareness for your company among your current and potential industry relationships, because it’s really not all about the lowest price.
If you think this is interesting, check out another survey question that we asked about the importance of COMPANY RELATIONSHIPS vs. COMPANY EXPERIENCE.
If you start putting together the pieces of info learned from these two survey questions (and the others we’ve done), the very basic formula for success in our industry is simple:
Company Relationships + Company Awareness = Projects/Revenue.

Showcase Your Local Market Knowledge When Bidding on Construction Projects
Nov 23, 2010 Surveys, marketing tips
Craig Noble
A recent survey of our national database of architects, engineers, general contractors, specialty contractors, material suppliers and other companies related to the commercial construction industry revealed an obvious competitive advantage opportunity…
The exact survey Q&A was:
What is the maximum distance your company would consider pursuing a project bid opportunity?
ENTIRE U.S. 19%
NEARBY STATES 36%
HOME STATE 21%
LOCAL COUNTIES ONLY 24%
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that 76% of companies are pursuing projects beyond their own backyard. This means that you are likely bidding for projects alongside companies from “out-of-town”. Therefore, when you are bidding on projects within your immediate market area, keep in mind that you can differentiate your company from the “out-of-towners” by showcasing your local market knowledge to gain a competitive advantage.
Good advice huh, Little Buddy!?! Now go checkout jobsite123.com …it’s full of smart architects, engineers and contractors.

Not Interested in Higher Profit Margins on Federal Construction Projects?
Oct 1, 2010 Surveys
Craig Noble
We recently surveyed our national database, which includes: architects, engineers, general contractors, specialty contractors, material suppliers and other companies related to the commercial construction industry. The percentage of companies that answered NO to one of the questions was particularly startling to us…
This was the exact survey Q&As:
Would you like to learn how to make HIGHER than average profit margins on federal construction projects?
Yes 72%
No 28%
We think it’s amazing that so many companies said NO.
Translation: it’s not likely that 28% of the industry is so fat and happy with work right now that they would rather not learn how to make more money with federal construction projects…what’s more likely is that the 28% that said NO are so intimidated by the federal process that they don’t believe that learning more would be worth their time.
