Cody Brandt

Cody grew up in Grand Junction in a roofing family, which means he learned to read a shingle before he learned to read a spreadsheet. He spent four years as an estimator — up on roofs, writing bids, watching out-of-state storm chasers roll into town every hail season and take work from crews who'd been there for decades.

That's what pushed him toward search. He'd watched local crews lose jobs to companies that showed up for six weeks a year and disappeared, and the difference usually came down to who ranked in the map pack when a homeowner searched at ten at night after a storm. He decided he'd rather win that search than keep chasing the storm himself.

Now he manages local SEO for Isoline's trades and contractor clients across the Denver metro — Google Business Profiles, citations, and the city landing pages that decide whose phone rings first. He still reads a hail map like most people read a menu, and he still thinks in job tickets and bids, not impressions.
