A painting contractor website that books estimates needs five things: a before/after gallery above the fold, one landing page per service (interior, exterior, cabinet, commercial, deck), a Service Area page per suburb, LocalBusiness + Service schema so AI engines can cite you, and Google review count with EPA lead-safe / PDCA badges. We build all five into a 5-page painting site for $500 at $500 setup + $100/month.
22+ years designing service-business websites in Columbus, OH. Personally led Painting Contractor website builds and rankings audits for Columbus-area painting contractor companies since 2019.

Book Free ConsultationA booking-grade painting site opens with a before/after gallery, has one landing page per service (interior, exterior, cabinet, commercial, deck), ranks a Service Area page per suburb, and shows Google reviews with EPA lead-safe certification on the hero.
Our painting website starts at $500 setup + $100/month for a 5-page site, covering hosting and management. Includes SSL, basic SEO, AEO, GBP connection, and 24/7 helpdesk. Portfolio-heavy multi-city sites are scoped and quoted individually — book a consultation for pricing.
GBP with matching NAP, individual URLs per service per city (/interior-painting/dublin-oh, /cabinet-painting/hilliard-oh), and LocalBusiness + Service schema. Project galleries with ImageObject schema are the accelerator.
AI engines cite pages with direct answers and schema. Every page needs a 40–80 word answer ("Interior painting for a 2,000 sq ft home in Columbus costs $3,500–$6,500 and takes 3–5 days."), FAQPage schema, Service schema with priceRange, and a visible foreman author block.
Standard 5-page painting sites follow a clear timeline with a three-pass revision process — timed for spring exterior season. Multi-location builds take 2–3 weeks.
Every element below directly maps to a booked lead or a Google ranking signal — no fluff.
