About Us
Best Painter Pro

Hi, I’m Mike Hansen!

I’ve been in the world of digital marketing for over 25 years. I got my start in the mid-1990s, creating websites back when online business was still a brand-new frontier. As more companies began asking me how to get customers onto their sites, I immersed myself in search engine optimization (SEO) and broader digital marketing strategies. By 2000, I had launched my own agency, focusing on helping local businesses—from doctors and dentists to plastic surgeons and law firms—stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Over the years, I worked with just about every type of local service professional you could imagine. But in 2016, a family connection led me to help my brother-in-law’s painting company, and I discovered a real passion for the painting industry. I’ve always enjoyed working with people who are down-to-earth and committed to their craft, and I found that painters fit this description perfectly. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping highly skilled tradespeople connect with homeowners and property managers who truly appreciate quality work.

That initial experience with my brother-in-law blossomed into a deeper focus on painting contractors. I realized that the same digital marketing principles I’d used for doctors, lawyers, and e-commerce shops applied beautifully to painting companies—often with quicker, more direct results. Painters are “local heroes” in their communities, and I love the challenge of making sure homeowners and businesses can find them easily online.

Today, I run a marketing and consulting
practice dedicated to painting contractors.

My team and I specialize in:

Building High-Converting Websites & Landing Pages

Google Business Profile Optimization

(formerly Google My Business)

SEO and Local Search Campaigns

Social Media & Paid Advertising

(Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more)

LinkedIn Outreach

for commercial leads and real estate connections

Beyond lead generation, I also bring painters valuable business training resources—covering everything from accurate estimating and pricing for profit, to hiring and managing crews, to creating repeatable systems and processes that let you scale. My network includes multimillion-dollar painting business owners who share their proven playbooks, so you’re not just getting new leads but also building a sustainable, thriving company.

Thanks for visiting, and I look forward to helping your painting business grow!
