Industry · Home Inspection

Spring is when inspections
get booked.

Real estate runs Q2 + Q3 in Canada. The home inspectors who rank by April capture the season. We build city pages, realtor partnerships, and add-on funnels that compound into a moat by next spring.

Why this niche is different

Home inspection SEO is two markets: realtors + buyers.

  • You're competing with realtor-recommended inspectors — but only if buyers Google first

    Most buyers ask their realtor for an inspector recommendation. But some Google their own. That share goes to whoever ranks for "home inspector [city]" — and there's real money in winning that bracket.

  • Spring/summer demand is finite — May–August is the year

    Q2 + Q3 carry most Canadian home transactions. Your SEO needs to be ranking before April. Most inspectors crank up marketing in May when demand spikes — too late. The sprint runs January-March.

  • Add-on services are the LTV play — most don't market them

    Mold testing, radon testing, energy audits, thermal imaging, sewer scope — each is an add-on buyers don't know to ask for. Dedicated landing pages capture that upsell intent and rank separately.

Is this you?

We're a fit if you check 4 of these 6.

We work best with certified independent inspectors who already do quality work and want to capture the buyers who Google before asking their realtor.

A fit if

  • You're OAHI, InterNACHI, or CAHPI certified
  • You inspect single-family homes (not just commercial)
  • You complete 100+ inspections per year
  • You offer at least 1 add-on service (mold, radon, thermal, sewer scope, WETT)
  • You're an independent inspector — not a national franchise
  • You serve at least 5 cities in Ontario

Not a fit if

  • You're not OAHI, InterNACHI, or CAHPI certified
  • You only inspect commercial properties, not single-family homes
  • You don't offer any add-on services like mold, radon, or thermal imaging
  • You're a national franchise rather than an independent inspector
