Why work with MAJ
What a Montgomery builder gets from MAJ
Your problem
Vague process copy loses careful buyers
Montgomery buyers ask who reviews plans, how long zoning takes and what changes near the Heritage District. A site that says we handle everything sends them to a builder who explains it.
What we build
Process pages, video and a quick reply
We write pages that explain city intake, NIC review and landmark rules beside your finished-home video, run search by city name, and set up an instant reply with a booking link so the buyer's next step is clear.
Answers with sources
Every local claim on our pages cites the city or another public source, so buyers, search engines and AI assistants can check it.
Founder-led, team-run
Manny directs every account; editors, ad account managers and automation do the daily work.
A free written audit
We check how your site answers a Montgomery buyer's process questions before you spend more.

The gaps that cost Montgomery builders meetings
Heritage District homes treated like any other
Building near Montgomery Road and the Heritage District can bring Old Montgomery zoning or Landmarks Commission review. Generic copy ignores that, and the buyers who care notice.
A slow first reply
A buyer comparing builders may send several forms in one evening. The one who answers first, with a clear next step, is in the strongest position to get the meeting.
Montgomery facts that shape a builder's pitch
City intake, third-party review
The City of Montgomery Community Development building division processes all permit applications, and National Inspection Corporation does the plan review and on-site inspections. Plumbing permits come from Hamilton County Public Health.
Source: Community Development, City of MontgomeryZoning permits move fast
The city says zoning permits can be processed in as little as two days, and most residential permits are approved within two weeks. Those are numbers you can quote on a timeline page, with the city as the source.
Source: FAQ Topic: Zoning, City of MontgomeryNo city contractor license
The City of Montgomery says it has no licensing requirement of its own for contractors working in the city. The City of Cincinnati, by contrast, requires builders of new one to three family homes to register. Builders who cross city lines should not assume one rule.

The Old Montgomery zoning district is meant to preserve the historic fabric downtown along Montgomery Road, and exterior changes to a listed landmark need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission, which has named 32 landmarks.

A Montgomery page that earns the design meeting
This video breaks down a page built to get the call: the home type and the town in the headline, proof, click to call, a short form and a fast load on a phone. We pair that with Montgomery's permit and zoning answers so the page does the explaining for you.
- Montgomery in the headline, not just 45242
- Walkthrough video at the top of the page
- Permit timeline with the city's own numbers

A page with one job: get the call. A generic homepage is slow and makes people hunt. A vague slogan, a menu of everything, and the phone number buried. Lead with the job and the town. The headline matches what they searched for and where they live. Real photos and video of your work. Your team, your trucks, your finished jobs. A click to call button and a short form. One tap to call, or three quick fields to request an estimate. Show the towns you serve. Visitors know right away that you work where they live. Fast on a phone. People search from the driveway. The page loads before they lose interest. Built to get the call. Every block on the page has one job: turn a visitor into a booked estimate. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

The first minutes after a Montgomery inquiry
This video shows what happens right after a call or form: missed-call text back, an instant reply and a link to book a time, while the buyer is still deciding who to call next.
- A reply that names the next step
- Text back when you cannot pick up
- A booking link in the first message
Read the transcript
The first business to answer usually gets the job. A homeowner calls at a busy moment. Your team is on a job, and the call goes unanswered. Phone screen: Missed call, 2:14 PM. An automatic text goes back in seconds. Not a voicemail greeting. A friendly text from your business. Text sent automatically: Sorry we missed you! What can we help with? The homeowner replies and gets a booking link. They pick a time that works for them, right from the text. Homeowner: Hi, I need an estimate. Is this week possible? Business: Yes! Pick any open time here. Link: Book a time. Estimate booked: Thursday, 10:00 AM. The estimate lands on your calendar. Time, address and job details are filled in automatically. Calendar, Thursday: New estimate at 10:00 AM. Your team gets notified. The right people see the new booking, with everything they need. Notifications to the office and the estimator: New estimate booked, Thursday 10:00 AM, details attached. Without it, the call waits in voicemail. By the time someone calls back, the homeowner may have booked someone else. Voicemail: next morning callback. Text back: estimate booked the same afternoon. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Montgomery builder marketing questions
Does Montgomery require a city contractor license to build a home?
No. The City of Montgomery says it does not have its own licensing requirement for contractors working in the city. Permits still go through the Community Development building division, and plumbing permits come from Hamilton County Public Health.
How quickly does Montgomery issue zoning permits?
In as little as two days, according to the city, and most residential permits are approved within two weeks. National Inspection Corporation handles plan review and inspections, and building staff can be reached at 513-792-8309.
How soon should we expect design meetings from new marketing?
Nobody can promise a date, and we will not. Many custom home buyers reach out long before they are ready, so the early months build a list of future buyers alongside the first meetings, and the monthly report shows design meetings by source as they come.
Should our website talk about cost per square foot?
It should talk about cost honestly, in terms you can defend. Buyers search phrases like custom home cost per square foot, and a page that explains what drives your pricing, from the lot to finishes to site work, keeps them on your site instead of back in the results.
How do you measure home builder marketing?
By design meetings booked, traced to their source, with signed contracts connected where your systems allow. The monthly report shows cost per design meeting by channel, how many early leads moved forward, and where to put your budget next.
