Trades and home services

Digital marketing for trades and home services.

Electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, joiners, landscapers and cleaners win most of their work from two places: recommendations and Google. Good digital marketing makes sure that when someone hears your name, or searches for your trade nearby, you look like the obvious choice.

The challenge

What usually gets in the way

  • No time for marketing

    You're on site all day. Posting and updating listings falls to the bottom of the list.

  • Competing with bigger firms

    Larger companies with marketing budgets dominate searches in your area.

  • Few reviews despite happy customers

    Customers are pleased with the work but rarely leave reviews unless asked.

  • Seasonal swings

    Busy periods and quiet ones, with marketing that doesn't adjust.

Our approach

What we'd do

  • Google Business Profile first

    Complete, accurate and active, with service areas set up properly.

  • A simple review routine

    A text or email with your review link after every job.

  • Before-and-after posts

    Real photos of finished work, posted for you every month.

  • Search ads for urgent jobs

    Targeted Google Ads for the services people need quickly.

FAQs

Common questions

I get enough work from word of mouth. Why bother?

Most recommendations are followed by a search. If your profile looks inactive or has few reviews, some of those referrals go elsewhere. It also gives you more choice over the jobs you take.

What should I photograph on jobs?

Before and after shots, neat finished details and the occasional photo of you or your team at work. Make sure customers are happy for you to share photos of their property.
