01 · The problem

When someone wants a court, they Google it. Right now, they are not finding you.

Every week, homeowners, clubs, schools, and HOAs across Houston go to Google looking for someone to build them a court. They are ready to spend. Here is what they are typing in:

What a Houston buyer sees the moment they search

Google · Ad elitecourtbuilders.com

Elite Court Builders · Houston Tennis & Pickleball Court Construction

Custom backyard and facility courts built across Greater Houston. Free on-site quote. Talk to the builder, not a call center.

4.9 ★ Google rating · Serving all of Houston metro · Call now

Inbound call · Memorial, TX

Homeowner · backyard pickleball court

These people are not browsing. They have already decided they want a court. They have the backyard, the budget, and a date in mind. They are going to call whoever shows up first and looks the most trustworthy. That should be you. Today, it usually is not. That is the whole problem, and it is fixable.

A single backyard court runs tens of thousands of dollars. Missing even two or three jobs a year you should have won is six figures left on the table. The math does not get better by waiting another season.

Four reasons the jobs are going to someone else

01 · Invisible

Not on the map

When Houston searches for a court builder, Google shows a map with the top three pins. If you are not one of them, you never get the call. Most buyers never scroll past those three.

02 · Trust

A thin Google profile

No photos of finished courts, few reviews, missing info. Next to a competitor with 40 reviews and a gallery of builds, the buyer picks the one that looks safer with their money.

03 · Ads

No ads on the money searches

The very top of Google is paid ads. Right now your competitors sit there for the searches that turn into real jobs, and you are nowhere on the page that matters most.

04 · Pipeline

Feast or famine

Work comes from referrals and word of mouth, so it is either too much or not enough. You cannot turn jobs on when the crew has an opening, and idle crews cost you money.

02 · Why us

This is exactly what we do for Houston contractors and trades.

High-ticket local businesses where one good job is worth thousands and the customer starts on Google: construction, home services, specialty trades. Same playbook, same result. It maps directly to a Houston court builder.

What you get

Calls, not clicks

Where this fits Local businesses with a high job value and a process that already works once the phone rings. We do not change how you build or quote. We make sure you get the call in the first place, and that the call is the right kind of job.

Why court building is a perfect fit

Court construction is exactly the kind of buyer this works for: high-value jobs, a customer who is ready to spend, a decision that starts with a Google search, and a local market where being the most visible and most trusted name wins the job. Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and Houston backyards, clubs, and schools are all building. The demand is already there. The only question is whether they find you or the other guy. You are not paying us to guess. You are paying us to run a proven local playbook, tuned to court building in Houston.

03 · The plan

Two engines. One goal. The right calls, on repeat.

Half of this gets you found for free on the map. The other half puts you at the very top the day we launch. Here is everything that gets done.

Claim and lock down your Google profile

We claim and verify your Google Business Profile, then fix everything that decides whether you show up: the right categories, every service you offer, your service area across Houston metro, hours, and a clean, consistent name, address, and phone everywhere online. This is the foundation that gets you onto the map.

Fill it with proof

Photos of your finished courts, clear descriptions of what you build, and the details buyers look for before they call. A profile that looks like the real deal beats an empty one every time, even when the empty one is closer.

Turn happy customers into a wall of reviews

Reviews are the single biggest reason one builder gets picked over another. We set up a simple system that asks every happy customer for a review at the right moment, so your star count climbs steadily and you keep pulling ahead of competitors.

Keep the profile active

Google rewards profiles that stay alive. We post your recent work and answer the questions buyers ask, every week, so you keep climbing in the map and stay ahead of builders who set it and forget it.

Google Ads on the searches that become jobs

We put you at the very top of Google for the exact searches that turn into real court jobs, and only in the parts of Houston worth targeting, like Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Memorial, Cypress, and Bellaire. You show up the day we launch, no waiting.

Stop wasting money on the wrong clicks

We block the searches that waste budget, like people hunting for DIY kits, cheap repairs, or jobs you do not want. Call tracking shows us exactly which searches turn into real conversations, so every dollar works harder over time.

A clear page to land on, and proof of what is working

Clicks land on a simple page built to make people call or request a quote, not get lost. And every month you get a plain-English report: how many people found you, how many called, and what we changed to get you more.

05 · Do it yourself vs done for you

You could figure out Google yourself.
Or you could keep building courts and let us handle it.

Side by side, honestly.

What it takes

Doing it yourself

Mastodon Marketing

Showing up on the map

Guesswork. Most builders never crack the top three pins.

A proven process to get and keep you in the top three.

Reviews

You mean to ask, then forget. The count stalls.

A system that asks every happy customer, automatically.

Google Ads setup

Easy to burn cash fast on the wrong clicks.

Built for real court jobs, targeted to the right areas.

Wasted spend

You pay for DIY and repair searches you do not want.

Blocked from day one. Every dollar works harder over time.

Your time

Nights and weekends fighting dashboards.

Zero. You build courts. We run the marketing.

Knowing what works

No idea which clicks became calls.

Call tracking and a plain monthly report you can read.

Who owns it

Scattered logins, easy to lose track of.

You own your profile, your ad account, your number. Always.

Doing it yourself is not free. It costs your evenings, your patience, and the jobs that go to a competitor while you are out on a build. The first month this lands you one extra court, it has paid for itself many times over.

Pillar 1, plus an ad budget you control and that goes straight to Google.

$750per month to start, grows on results

No surprise invoices, ever The fee only steps up by mutual agreement on our monthly call, once a milestone is hit and held for about two months. You will always see it coming, and it only happens because the leads and jobs are already there. The fee grows when your business grows, and not a moment before. We only make more when you make more.

An honest note on results How fast the calls come depends on your ad budget, the season, and how aggressive you want to be. Showing up at the top of the ads happens on launch day. The map and reviews build over the first weeks. What is guaranteed is the work, the system, and the accountability behind it. If it does not produce, we fix it.
