SEO in Birmingham for local trades.
Get found. Get booked.If customers can't find you on Google, they're calling someone else. We get Birmingham trade businesses found for the searches that actually bring in work, and we count every enquiry it brings you.
Why Birmingham trades lose jobs on Google.
When someone in Birmingham searches for your trade, the businesses that show up get the call. The rest never get a look in.
Your Google Business Profile is incomplete
Missing categories, no photos, no posts. Google uses all of this to decide who shows up in Birmingham.
Your website is slow on mobile
Over 70% of local searches happen on a phone. A slow site loses the ranking and the customer in the same moment.
You have no local presence outside your own postcode
No local citations, no area content, nothing that tells Google you're the right result for someone searching in Solihull or Edgbaston as well as your main area.
Nobody is actively managing it
SEO isn't a one-off job. The businesses ahead of you in Birmingham are doing something every month. If you're not, the gap grows.

What West Midlands businesses say about us.
SEO Birmingham, frequently asked questions.
Why local SEO in Birmingham matters more than anywhere else.
Birmingham is the UK's second largest city and one of the most competitive local markets in the country for trade businesses. Millions of people live in and around the city, and a huge volume of them are searching Google every day for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers and heating engineers.
The challenge is that most of those searches go to the same handful of businesses who've invested in being found locally. The rest share what's left. The gap between the businesses on page one and everyone else isn't about the quality of the work, it's about visibility.
We research the Birmingham market in detail. We know which search terms have the highest volume, which competitors are the most entrenched, and where the gaps are. That research is what we bring to your free forecast, so you start from real numbers rather than guesswork.
