The bigger the project, the more people look around before they call. A loft conversion and a garage conversion are different jobs with different customers. Each type of project you want more of needs its own page.

SEO for builders

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a homeowner sees. We set it up properly. Your services listed, your project photos added, your areas set and your reviews coming in. More on how we do SEO for tradesmen.

Then your site gets a page for each type of project and each town that’s worth it, so Google has something to show for each search. We track taps on your call button and form enquiries, and you get one plain report a month.

We can’t promise where you’ll appear on Google. We’ll show you what’s searched for in your towns and what it would take to compete.

Websites for builders

A page for each type of project

Extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, renovations and new builds. Each gets its own page with photos of that kind of work.

The work you take on

Domestic, commercial or insurance work. If you do all three, each one gets explained properly, because the customers are different.

Project photos

Real photos of your own builds. Before, during and after. A finished extension tells a homeowner more than any stock photo.

Trade body membership, if you have it

If you’re a member of a trade body, such as the FMB, we show it where customers make up their minds. Only the ones you actually have.

A quote form and your number

Your number at the top of every page. A short quote form for people planning a project.

Owned by you

Built and hosted in your name. We write the words. If you ever leave, the site goes with you. No transfer fees on a monthly plan.

Google Ads for builders

Ads put you in front of people planning the projects you want, set up in your name so you own the account.

Clicks for big projects can cost more. Your free forecast checks whether ads are worth it in your area before you spend anything.

Questions from builders

For the projects you want more of, yes. An extension and a loft conversion are searched for differently, by different people.

That’s your call. We don’t put prices on your site unless you want them there.

Yes, and we’d rather you did. Real photos of your builds beat stock photos every time.

Yes. Hinckley is our base, but we work with building firms anywhere in the UK.
