Websites for trades
A website that wins you the job before you pick up the phone.
When someone needs a plumber, an electrician or a builder, they rarely ring the first name they find. They look you up, check a few things, and then decide. A good trade website answers those questions before they’re asked.
What customers check before they call
-
Your reviews
Recent, real reviews, ideally on Google. They’re often the first thing people look at, and the thing that tips it.
-
Photos of real jobs
Your own work, not stock photos. Before and after shots are even better.
-
That you’re qualified
The schemes you belong to, like Gas Safe, NICEIC or TrustMark, with your registration number so they can check.
-
Whether you cover their area
The towns and villages you work in, so nobody wonders whether you’ll come out to them.
-
What you do, and don’t
Your services, clearly listed, so they know they’ve found the right person for the job.
-
How to get hold of you
A number they can tap to call, a quick way to ask for a quote, and a sense of how fast you reply.
