Do electricians, plumbers, and heating engineers really need a website today?

Yes. Even if most of your work comes from referrals, customers almost always check your website before contacting you. A professional trade website reassures them that you're legitimate, insured, and experienced. Without one, potential clients may move on to a competitor who looks more established online - even if your workmanship is better.

I already get work through word of mouth. Why invest in SEO?

SEO doesn't replace referrals, it strengthens them. Many referral clients still Google your business name or services to confirm trust before calling. SEO ensures your business appears professionally in search results, supports referrals, and brings in new enquiries from customers who don't yet know you.

How does SEO actually help me get more local jobs?

SEO helps your website appear when people search for services like "electrician near me," "emergency plumber," or "boiler repair in my area." These searches come from people who need work done now. By ranking for service led and location based searches, your website attracts customers who are ready to enquire.

Can you help my trade business appear on Google Maps?

Yes. Your website is structured to support strong local search visibility, which directly impacts Google Maps performance. We also ensure your online presence is aligned so customers can easily find, trust, and contact your business when searching locally.

Do you build websites specifically for electricians, plumbers, and heating engineers?

Yes. We design trade specific websites that reflect the services you offer, the compliance you operate under, and the trust signals customers look for. This includes showcasing qualifications, accreditations, insurance, reviews, and completed work in a way that builds confidence fast.

What makes a good website for a trade business?

A strong trade website is clear, fast, mobile friendly, and focused on enquiries. It should clearly explain what services you offer, where you work, and how to contact you. It should also show proof of experience through reviews, certifications, and real project examples. We build every trade website around these principles.

Will my website work properly on mobile phones?

Yes. Most trade related searches happen on mobile devices. All websites we build are mobile first, meaning they load quickly, are easy to use on phones, and make it simple for customers to call or send an enquiry while on the move.

Can you redesign my existing trade website instead of starting from scratch?

Yes. If you already have a website but it looks outdated, loads slowly, or doesn't generate enquiries, we can redesign and restructure it. This often includes improving layout, content clarity, mobile performance, and SEO foundations.

How long does it take to build a website for a trade business?

Most trade websites take between 3–5 weeks, depending on size and complexity. We'll confirm timelines upfront so you know exactly what to expect and can plan around your workload.

How long does SEO take to start working?

SEO is a long term strategy. Some improvements can be seen within the first few weeks, but meaningful growth usually builds over 3–6 months, with results compounding over time. The goal is consistent, sustainable enquiries, not short term spikes.

Do I need ongoing SEO after my website launches?

Your website is built SEO ready, but ongoing SEO helps you grow faster and stay competitive. This includes improving rankings, adding new services or areas, and responding to changes in how people search. Many trades start with the website and add SEO once they're ready to scale.

Do you work with sole traders as well as larger contractors?

Yes. We work with sole traders, small trade teams, and established contractors. The website and SEO strategy is tailored to your size, goals, and capacity and can scale as your business grows.

Can my website grow as my trade business expands?

Absolutely. New services, new locations, additional trades, project galleries, and SEO improvements can all be added over time. Your website is designed as a long term asset, not a fixed brochure.
