Summary:
JT Construction Solutions is a General Contractor in Toronto that has been in business for over ten years. From home builds to basement renovations and contracting projects in Toronto and the GTA, JT Construction Solutions has always been committed to exceptional workmanship and quality. While their business etiquette has always been superb, review-based marketing and online reputation management wasn’t something the business had always spent a lot of time on.
However, after joining HomeStars in 2016 and collecting an abundance of reviews, JT Construction Solutions connected with over 400 homeowners in their first year, and has seen a 20% increase in leads! Click the image above to download the impressive stats.
We caught up with Ted Hilmer, Director at JT Construction Solutions, to learn how the business achieved such success with HomeStars and what persuaded them to join.
The Problem:
The fear of hiring an untrustworthy contractor is a major concern for homeowners today – they are hungry for information and rely heavily on research online and reviews to help them make safe hiring decisions.
In 2016, JT Construction Solutions was relying mostly on traditional marketing methods like word-of-mouth and lawn signs for new business. The marketplace, however, was changing, and the online competition for general contracting was becoming fiercely competitive, making lead generation a big challenge. Homeowners now had an array of general contractors to choose from online, many with reviews to back up their reputations. It was apparent that JT Construction Solutions needed to adopt new-age thinking by adding review-based marketing to their marketing strategy.
The Solution:
After speaking with a Business Development Specialist at HomeStars and learning how easy it was to get started, Ted signed up for a premium, Brand Builder profile. He was prepared to do everything he could to take his business to the next level with HomeStars.
Ted immediately updated his profile by adding the company logo, photo galleries and contact information, and started requesting reviews from happy clients with the HomeStars for Pros app. Once published on the company’s HomeStars profile, their Star Score skyrocketed!
JT Construction Solutions was approved and Verified by HomeStars, earning them a Verified badge on their profile, showing prospects that their legal and professional requirements are up to date, and they are a trusted and quality choice for hire!
The Results:
By completing their profile and consistently collecting reviews from happy clients, JT Construction reaped the rewards and increased their lead count by 20%, making over 395 homeowner connections in the first year! And, with the added boost of being a Brand Builder member, their business was visible in over 17,139 homeowner searches in their first 12 months!
While HomeStars did their part, it was Ted and his team’s dedication to success that was pivotal in their growth. From building a high Star Score, getting Verified, and winning a HomeStars Best of Award in 2018, HomeStars gave them a leg up on the competition!
When asked how HomeStars has impacted JT Construction Solutions, Ted replied:
“HomeStars helps us generate leads and gives a place for potential clients to look us up, read our reviews and instill confidence in our business!”
