Aaron's take

Cabinet buyers start in a very crowded place. "Kitchen cabinets" gets around 246,000 searches a month in the US, but most of the related searches are about colours, styles and big-box stores. A local cabinet company is not going to outrank those for the broad terms, and it does not need to.

The searches that bring in real local customers are more specific: custom cabinets, cabinet refacing, kitchen cabinets near me, cabinet makers near me. The cabinet companies that win online show their own work by style and finish, explain custom versus semi-custom versus refacing in plain terms, and make the showroom easy to find and visit.

Your website

Pages your website needs

In the order I would build them. Each page targets one group of searches.

  1. Custom cabinets page

    About 22,200 searches a month. Explain what custom means, lead times and how you design for the space.

  2. Cabinet refacing page

    About 14,800 searches a month. A cheaper alternative that brings in customers who are not ready for new cabinets.

  3. Custom versus semi-custom versus stock page

    Buyers are confused by the options. An honest comparison builds trust and qualifies leads.

  4. Gallery by style and finish

    People search by colour and style. Organise your projects the same way.

  5. Showroom page

    Cabinet buyers want to see and touch samples. Make the address, hours and brands easy to find.

  6. Cost page

    Ranges for custom cabinets and refacing, and what changes the price, keep buyers on your site.

How I plan and build sites like this

Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile for cabinet companies

Primary category
Cabinet maker
Secondary categories
Cabinet storeRemodelerInterior designerInterior construction contractor

Categories checked on October 13, 2026

What to get right

  • Use Cabinet maker as your primary category. Of the 10 most-reviewed US cabinet makers I checked, 7 added Cabinet store and 6 added Remodeler.
  • Many also listed General contractor and Interior designer. Only add those if you really offer the service.
  • Upload photos of finished kitchens and bathrooms, with the style and finish in the description.
  • If you have a showroom, keep its hours accurate and add photos of the displays.

Reviews

Reviews that matter for cabinet companies

Where reviews count

  • Google
  • Houzz
  • Yelp
  • Facebook
  • Ask every customer, not only the happy ones, right after the job is done.
  • Send one short message with a direct link, so leaving a review takes a single tap.
  • Reply to every review, good or bad, calmly and specifically.
  • Never pay for reviews or offer anything in return. It breaks Google's rules.

Ads and SEO

Local Services Ads, Google Ads and SEO

Cabinet Companies can't use Local Services Ads, so paid search means Google Ads. Ads bring leads within days but stop the moment you stop paying. SEO takes months to build, then keeps working. Most businesses run ads for the most valuable searches while SEO grows, then shift budget as organic rankings take over.

For context, Google search ads in the Home & Home Improvement category average $90.92 per lead (LocaliQ, 2026). That is a search ads benchmark, not a Local Services Ads lead price.

Mistakes

Mistakes cabinet companies make

  1. Chasing "kitchen cabinets"

    That term is dominated by big-box stores and style ideas. Local searches for custom cabinets and refacing bring better leads.

  2. Not explaining the options

    Buyers do not know the difference between custom, semi-custom and refacing. Explaining it wins trust and better-fit projects.

  3. A gallery without detail

    Label each project with the style, wood and finish so buyers can find what they want.

  4. Hiding the showroom

    Cabinet buyers want to see samples in person. Make visiting easy.

FAQ

Cabinet Company SEO questions

Can a local cabinet company rank for "kitchen cabinets"?

Rarely, and it does not need to. That search is dominated by big-box stores and style ideas. Local cabinet companies win with more specific searches, such as custom cabinets, cabinet refacing and kitchen cabinets near me, which bring in buyers ready to talk to a local maker.

When do people shop for cabinets?

Cabinet searches in the US are highest in January and February and lowest in December, with a swing of about 1.3 times. Pages ranking by autumn catch homeowners planning kitchen projects for the new year. Refacing and custom work both follow that pattern, so build the pages before autumn.

Should a cabinet company show prices?

Give ranges for custom cabinets and refacing, and explain what changes them, such as size, wood, finish and hardware. Buyers compare options on price before visiting a showroom. Ranges bring in people whose budget fits your work. Many buyers also want to know how long delivery and installation take, so include typical lead times.

Is cabinet refacing worth a separate page?

Yes. Refacing gets about 14,800 searches a month in the US and attracts homeowners who want a new look without replacing everything. It is a different buyer from someone ordering custom cabinets, with different questions about cost and timing. It is also a quicker job, which helps fill gaps between large custom projects.

How much does SEO cost for a cabinet company?

That comes down to three things: the competition where you work, how many services and towns you want to target, and the state of your website today. For most cabinet companies, a monthly arrangement works best, because local rankings build over time. I start by looking at your site and your rivals, then send a fixed quote.
