Introduction
Hi Brandon,
It was a pleasure connecting with you and learning more about your vision for this new business. I genuinely believe you're onto something special—a much-needed service with clear value for contractors who are often overlooked by larger technology providers.
Over the past 30 years, I've worked with startups, associations, and service providers across a wide range of industries—helping them define their brand identity, build digital infrastructure, and grow their presence online. What excites me most about your idea is how it solves a real pain point in the construction market with a solution that's scalable, high-value, and timely.
In my experience, the best investment at this stage is to lay a rock-solid foundation for your brand:
Establish a professional business name, logo, and brand identity
Launch a high-quality, search-optimized website
Begin creating content that helps your ideal customers find you and trust you
I recommend we also secure your social media channels (LinkedIn and Facebook at minimum) and begin posting regularly to build early brand recognition. As we do this, I'll help craft content (primarily blog posts) that is keyword-optimized, relevant, and informative—positioning your company as a subject matter expert in robotic layout and BIM-to-field workflows.
Since your company is brand new, it's important to note that SEO takes time. Search engines tend to be cautious with new domains and will only reward those that consistently publish quality, relevant, and trustworthy content. This is why I propose we begin SEO and content marketing immediately—giving us a strong 8-month runway to build credibility and online presence before your official Spring 2026 launch.
This proposal outlines how we can make that happen together.

By starting now, we'll have a full eight months to position you as a trusted resource in the industry before your services officially launch. We'll ensure you have a clean, professional identity, a high-performing website, and a growing presence in Google search and across relevant platforms.
