How TrowelApp became the go-to construction software in AI Search results

TrowelApp is a Spanish-born (SaaS) Software as a Service platform specializing in the comprehensive management of projects and operations for the construction industry. Built to address the sector’s real-world needs, the platform has established itself as a strategic partner for construction companies across Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, driving their digitalization, operational efficiency, and profitability.

Through sustained growth and a clear value proposition, TrowelApp has become a technology benchmark in a sector that has historically been slow to digitalize.

The Challenge

Construction is one of the sectors where digitalization has arrived latest. Companies operated with information scattered across teams and projects, with no real-time visibility into site status, and manual processes that made rigorous cost and schedule control impossible. On top of that, available software was poorly adapted to the sector’s real diversity — solutions that didn’t scale well and didn’t allow the level of customization each client needed, whether a small architecture studio or a large contractor running dozens of active projects.

“We built TrowelApp to be easy to use, capable of handling any project size, and affordable for every company — from the smallest to the largest.” Borja García Cueto, CEO of TrowelApp.

Companies needed a solution that would let them centralize operations, gain transparency, and adapt to different business sizes and types — from small studios to large contractors. Many also required a high degree of service customization.

In this context, Trowel stands out for its ability to deliver custom developments and specialized integrations with each client’s accounting and administrative systems, ensuring all information stays connected and centralized.

The Solution

TrowelApp addresses these challenges with a unified and scalable platform, designed to cover the full lifecycle of the construction project.

The platform adapts to different client profiles. Small and medium-sized businesses access intuitive tools for cost control, planning, and project tracking without unnecessary complexity. Large contractors benefit from advanced modules for managing multiple simultaneous projects, detailed budget control, and regulatory compliance. Architecture firms and multi-service companies can coordinate design, execution, and maintenance from a single workspace, improving communication across technical teams at every stage of the project.

Actualmente, TrowelApp consolida su presencia en Spain and Portugal, con un crecimiento sostenido y estratégico en Latin America.

Digital Growth Strategy

With active expansion into Latin America and the growing role of AI assistants as a discovery channel for industry software, TrowelApp made a decision that marked a turning point in its marketing strategy: it integrated GEO Metrics to measure and improve its visibility in the responses generated by models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Claude — where an increasing number of site managers and operations directors are searching for project management software recommendations.

The platform allowed the marketing team to identify which queries mentioned TrowelApp and which did not, what sources AI models cited when answering questions about construction software, and which content was worth strengthening to gain presence in those responses. The result was a sharper content strategy, aligned with both traditional search engines and the new visibility layer that AI models are building.
