Trades We Work With

Roofers

Roof repairs, re-roofing, flat roofing and emergency call-outs — high-value jobs that customers search for the moment something goes wrong.

Plumbers & heating engineers

Boiler installs, bathroom fitting, leaks and emergency plumbing. Urgent searches go to whoever appears first on Google and Google Maps.

Electricians

Rewires, EV charger installs, fuse board upgrades and EICR certificates. We target the specific services that carry the best margins.

Builders & extensions

Extensions, renovations, loft conversions and groundworks. Long consideration cycles reward the business that keeps showing up in search.

Repointing, masonry & painters

Specialist trades where very few competitors do SEO properly — which is exactly why the results come faster.

The Problems We Solve

Invisible outside your own town

Most trades sites rank for one place name and nothing else. We build proper location coverage across every area you actually serve.

One page for every service

A single 'Services' page cannot rank for ten different jobs. Each core service needs its own page, written around what customers really type into Google.

A neglected Google Business Profile

The map pack drives a huge share of local enquiries. Categories, services, photos, posts and reviews all need managing — not setting up once and forgetting.

Technical faults blocking indexing

Slow pages, broken redirects, missing schema and pages Google cannot crawl. We fix the foundations before publishing anything new.

No reviews strategy

Reviews influence both rankings and whether someone calls you instead of the next result. We put a simple, repeatable process in place.

No idea what is working

If nobody is tracking calls, forms and rankings, you are guessing. We report monthly in plain English — what moved, what we did, what is next.

How We Grow Trades Businesses from Google

01

Technical SEO

Full crawl and audit, page speed, redirect integrity, structured data (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ), sitemap and robots.txt management.

02

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Profile optimisation, category and service setup, photo and post cadence, citation consistency, review generation and map pack visibility.

03

Service & location pages

A page for every core service and every area you serve, built from live keyword data and written for the customer, not for a word count.

04

Content that answers real questions

Cost guides, comparison pages and job explainers that capture people researching before they call.

05

Links & digital PR

Editorial outreach, trade publications and genuine local coverage — never bulk directories or paid link farms.

Rankings, clicks, enquiries and the work completed, in language you can read in five minutes. No vanity metrics.

How It Works — Timeline

1

Months 1–2: Audit and foundations

Crawl the site, pull Search Console data, review competitors, fix what blocks indexing. You get a written findings document before we change anything.

2

Months 2–4: Services, locations and Google Maps

Service and location pages built and published, Google Business Profile optimised, review process in place. Local visibility usually starts moving here.

3

Months 4+: Authority and compounding enquiries

Content programme and link acquisition build authority. Rankings for competitive service terms climb, and enquiries become steady rather than seasonal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roofers, plumbers, electricians, painters, builders, repointing and masonry specialists, and HVAC engineers. If your customers find you by searching Google or Google Maps, we can help you appear more often for the searches that bring in actual enquiries.

Technical fixes and Google Business Profile work usually show movement within 60–90 days. Competitive service and location terms typically take 3–6 months to settle. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific site during the free visibility review — not a promise we cannot keep.

Most of the time we can work with what you have. We only recommend a rebuild when the existing site is holding back rankings so badly that fixing it costs more than replacing it — and if that is the case, we show you the evidence first.

Yes. We build location pages around the towns and postcodes you actually serve, with genuine local content rather than the same paragraph with the place name swapped. We also optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map results where most local enquiries start.

No, and no honest agency can — Google's algorithm is not controllable. What we guarantee is that the technical work, content and link acquisition are done properly, and that you get a plain-English report every month showing exactly what moved and what we did.
