Why SEO works for trades businesses.
Getting seen on Google is no longer optional. It’s where your customers look first when they need a local tradesman. Unlike ads that stop working when you stop paying, good SEO builds trust and keeps your business visible long term. It helps you show up in local searches, earn more calls, and win steady work, without relying on lead apps or wasting money on clicks that don’t convert.
SEO vs. Google Advertising (PPC)
Google Ads can work, but they’re short-lived. You pay for every click, and as soon as your budget dries up, so do your calls.
Plus, most people scroll past ads to the trusted organic results anyway. SEO takes a little longer, but it builds lasting trust and steady enquiries, without ongoing ad spend eating into your profit.
Our SEO process.
01 Competitor Analysis
We start by researching your biggest local competitors. We find out what keywords they rank for, what content works for them, and where they get their backlinks. This helps us build a plan that gives you a real advantage in your area.
02 Website Build
We design and build a brand-new website from scratch. It’s made to be fast, mobile-friendly, and fully optimised for local searches. Every page is created to attract the right customers and turn them into enquiries.
03 GBP Optimisation
We set up or fully optimise your Google Business Profile. This means you show up properly on Google Maps and local search results, where most homeowners and business owners are looking for local trades services.
04 Content Optimisation
We handle all the technical SEO work behind the scenes. From improving page speed to writing strong meta tags and headings, we make sure Google can read your site easily and rank it higher than older, unoptimised websites.
05 Backlinks
We build quality backlinks from trusted local and industry sites. This boosts your website’s authority and helps you rank above local competitors who don’t have the same level of trust signals online.
06 Content & Reporting
Every month, we keep improving your site. We add new pages, update existing content, and write blog posts targeting new keywords. You’ll get regular reports showing what’s working and where your leads are coming from.
We're the team you wish you'd found first.
