Your Website is Flatlining

Episode 249 | Why Trades Businesses Are Losing Jobs Online

Your website is dead. You just haven’t checked the pulse.

If you’re an HVAC company, plumber, electrician, or builder still treating your website like a digital brochure… you’re invisible.

And before everyone NOT in the trades tunes out, a lot of this information applies to you, too. Because in 2026, Google rewards fresh, useful, specific content…regardless of your industry.

In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, we sit down with Wes Towers of Uplift 360 to break down what contractors are getting wrong online… and why the same mistakes are costing other businesses leads.

🍸 Here’s what we break down:

  • Why contractors avoid marketing when business is good

  • The stale website mistake quietly killing your Google traffic

  • Why real case studies crush AI-generated fluff every time

  • How to structure a website that actually converts visitors into booked jobs

  • Where trades should focus on social media (and where they’re wasting time)

  • Google Business Profile basics too many contractors ignore

  • The deposit mistake that’s quietly sinking builders right now

This isn’t about logos. It’s about visibility.

If your phone isn’t ringing like it used to, don’t blame the algorithm.

Check the pulse.
