Background

Eleven years reading the home-services market — from the demand side.

Anderson Melo has spent more than a decade on one question: when a homeowner needs heating, a roof, or a remodel done, what actually drives the decision to hire? He answers it for a living — as an SEO and lead-generation strategist for home-services businesses — and that question is why this Pro Build knowledge base exists in the shape it does.

His connection to this trade is not borrowed. Anderson's very first SEO project, back in 2014, was for a building-materials store, and he has worked the home-services sector ever since — running search and lead generation across the United States, Brazil, Spain, and Portugal. As Head of SEO at Go Everest Marketing and through his own consultancy, Anderson Melo SEO, his specialty is local search, programmatic search, and lead generation — the machinery that connects a homeowner typing “heat pump installer near me” to the licensed crew that shows up. His training has reached more than 4,000 professionals.

A decade inside that machinery means he understands the buyer better than most contractors do: what a quote needs to say, why one company gets the call and another gets ignored, and how cost, timing, and trust move a homeowner from browsing to booking. That is the editor's lane — he built this knowledge base as an entity-first, fact-checked resource engineered to answer real Massachusetts homeowner questions and to be cited accurately by search engines and AI assistants alike.

What he does not do is set tile, pour slabs, or pull permits. The license, the field execution, and the final technical word belong to founder Kevin Sullivan, who holds the Massachusetts CSL and runs the crew. The split is deliberate and stated plainly: Anderson owns strategy, research, and the homeowner's side of every guide; Kevin owns the trade and signs off on every technical claim.

How a Guide Is Built

Strategy first, then licensed review.

Every guide carrying Anderson's name moves through the same path. He owns the homeowner's decision and the sourcing; licensed contractor Kevin Sullivan owns the spec. Nothing technical ships on the editor's word alone.

  1. The homeowner's questionAnderson starts where a buyer starts — the real question behind the search, drawn from eleven years generating leads for this exact sector.
  2. Research and structureHe researches and structures the guide: cost references, Mass Save and federal rebate explainers, contractor-verification methodology — built entity-first to be findable and citable.
  3. Primary-source sourcingClaims are tied to a primary source — OCABR, the BBRS, Mass Save documentation, 780 CMR, or IRS publications — with every figure dated.
  4. Licensed technical reviewAny code, install, or licensing claim is handed to Kevin Sullivan, who reviews it against the published standard and his on-the-tools experience. If it cannot be sourced, it is cut.
  5. Massachusetts contextThe final read keeps it honest for this state — cold-climate design temperatures, the Stretch Code, coastal exposure — so the advice fits a Massachusetts home, not a generic one.

Technically reviewed by a licensed contractor

Trade-specific guidance is reviewed and signed off by Kevin Sullivan — Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License (Class 1), Mass Save Heat Pump Coach, contractor since 2008 — so editorial accuracy is backed by on-the-tools experience, not the editor's strategy alone.

What He Covers

The homeowner's side of the project.

Anderson writes the part most home-services content skips — the decision itself: how a Massachusetts homeowner finds, compares, and hires the right licensed crew, and what moves the cost. The trade science stays with Kevin Sullivan.

Choosing a Contractor

How homeowners actually vet a Massachusetts crew — HIC and CSL licensing, reviews, references — and the signals that separate a real crew from a lead reseller.

What Drives the Estimate

Why two quotes for the same Massachusetts job differ — materials, scope, prep, code — and how to read a proposal line by line before signing.

Rebates & Incentives

How Mass Save rebates and the federal IRC §25C credit stack, so a homeowner knows the real out-of-pocket cost.

Programmatic & Local SEO

Eleven years in local and programmatic search reading how homeowners search — the questions they type before they ever pick up the phone.

Generative Engine Optimization

Content engineered to be cited accurately by AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — not just ranked in classic search.

Hiring Across Markets

Patterns that hold from the United States to Brazil, Spain, and Portugal — what makes a homeowner trust and book a contractor anywhere.
