Show up when local customers search for a joiner, plasterer, tiler or other tradesperson. Our SEO and Content plan costs £249 a month and builds useful pages, stronger local listings and steady progress you can understand.
You can do excellent work and still disappear beneath three map listings, directories and competitors. Customers search for "joiner near me", "plasterer in Gateshead" or "damp specialist Newcastle", then call the businesses they see first. If your name is missing, the job often goes elsewhere.
Getting higher on Google takes more than adding a few phrases to your homepage. Your services, towns, Google Business Profile, reviews and website must support each other. We build that steady system through local SEO for tradespeople, with clear work each month and no false promise of instant results.
The problem
What is costing Tradespeople work right now
Competitors appear above you
You may be the better joiner, plasterer or decorator, yet customers see another business first in Google Maps. They call the visible option before checking your workmanship or qualifications.
Compare your local listings and target searches first.
Your services blur together
A single page saying "general building work" cannot match every search. Someone looking for damp treatment, fitted wardrobes or garden groundworks needs clear proof that you handle that exact job.
Separate your profitable services into focused search pages.
Town pages feel copied
Replacing Newcastle with Sunderland in the same paragraph does not prove you work there. Customers notice thin pages, and Google has little reason to show them for local searches.
Write useful location pages from your real job experience.
That is also around hours a year. Typical UK trade figures; adjust the sliders to your own.
Monthly
Everything else is modular
Website Care is required for every client. Add anything else when you need it, and drop it when you do not.

The result
What changes once it is live
More relevant local searches
Your business can match specific searches for plaster repairs, kitchen joinery or damp treatment instead of relying on one broad homepage. Customers find the service they already want.
Clearer reasons to call
Service pages, photos, qualifications and reviews give visitors useful proof. They can see whether you handle their job, cover their town and understand their concern.
A stronger map presence
An accurate, active Google Business Profile supports your local visibility. Customers see current details, real work and recent reviews when comparing businesses nearby.
One trade, the full picture
Everything we do for tradespeople
The website, the search rankings and the paid clicks are one system, not three purchases. Each has its own page, written for tradespeople.
Become the tradesperson Google shows first locally
The map results at the top of Google often decide who gets the first call. They show your name, star rating, photos, opening times and service area before a customer reaches a website. A strong listing can win work even when the searcher has never heard of you.
Google looks at how closely your business matches the search, where you are, and how trusted your business appears. We improve those signals together. This is tradesperson SEO built around real jobs, not empty traffic reports.
Target searches such as "carpenter near me" and "tiler Newcastle".
Improve the information Google uses to match local searches.
Make your services, phone number and service area easy to trust.
Use real qualifications, insurance and completed work as proof.
Track local results around Newcastle, Gateshead and nearby towns.
Start with the three services you most want to sell.
02
Turn every service into a page that earns enquiries
Customers do not all search for "tradesperson". They search for the exact job they need. A joiner may be found through "made to measure wardrobes", while a plasterer may be found through "repair cracked ceiling". Each useful service deserves a page written in those words.
We explain what you do, where you do it, what affects the price and what customers should expect. That gives Google a clear match and gives the visitor enough confidence to request a quote.
Create pages for joinery, carpentry, plastering and tiling services.
Cover searches for damp surveys, treatment and mould problems.
Explain painting, decorating, insulation and groundworks clearly.
Include signs, materials, timescales and common customer concerns.
Show TrustMark, CHAS, Checkatrade or Which? Trusted Trader details.
List public liability insurance where it helps build confidence.
Write down your five most profitable services for us to prioritise.

More on SEO for tradespeople
The rest of what tradespeople ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
A customer in Whitley Bay wants proof that you work there, not a page with the town name swapped into copied text. We build useful location pages around the jobs you actually take, your travel area and the problems common to that place.
That can mean a joiner page for North Shields, a damp specialist page for Sunderland, or an insulation page for Washington. Each page needs real detail. Thin, repeated pages give customers little value and can be ignored by Google.
Cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland and Durham honestly.
Build useful pages for North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
Include Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth where relevant.
Describe travel limits, property types and local job experience.
Link each town page to the services available there.
Choose the towns that produce the best work before expanding.
Send us your real service area and the jobs you want more often.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first view of your business. It appears in Maps and local results, so missing photos or old details can cost trust before anyone visits your website. We keep the profile accurate, active and clearly tied to your services.
The right main category matters, but so do supporting categories, services, photos and regular updates. We do not add places you do not serve or claim qualifications you do not hold. Accurate information protects your reputation.
Review your main category and relevant additional categories.
Add services such as kitchen fitting, regrouting or roof insulation.
Use clear photos of finished work, tools, teams and vehicles.
Publish regular Google Business Profile posts about useful work.
Check phone number, opening times, address and service area.
Add genuine qualifications and memberships with supporting details.
Check your profile this week and send us any missing information.
Reviews help Google understand that your business is active and trusted. They also help a customer choose between two similar tradespeople. A fresh review mentioning "plastering in Durham" or "a fitted wardrobe in Jesmond" can make your listing more convincing.
We help you create a simple request process after each completed job. You still earn the review through your work. We never write fake reviews, offer rewards that break platform rules, or hide unhappy customers.
Ask for a review soon after the job is completed.
Give customers a direct link to your Google review form.
Make the request easy to send by text or email.
Reply to positive and negative reviews in a calm, useful way.
Encourage natural detail about the job and location.
Spot gaps in review activity before a competitor fills them.
Choose one point in your job process for every review request.
People often search before they are ready to call. They want to know whether damp can be treated from inside, how long plaster needs to dry, whether a tiler works over existing tiles, or what insulation suits an older home.
We draft useful pages and articles with AI to speed up the first draft. A human checks every piece for accuracy, local relevance, safe wording and your actual way of working. The result answers real questions without pretending every job is simple.
Cover preparation, access, mess, drying time and aftercare.
Answer price questions without giving unsafe or misleading fixed quotes.
Use your methods, materials, qualifications and real job experience.
Create two useful pages or articles each month.
Check every draft with you before publishing when trade detail matters.
Send us three customer questions you answer every week.

Publish two useful pages or articles every month.
Create Google Business Profile posts linked to your work.
Build and correct local directory listings across relevant services.

SEO brings the right people to you, but it is only one part of getting work. Our ACCC Framework joins Attract, Convert, Capture and Compound. The website turns visits into quote requests. The AI receptionist answers missed calls. Google Ads can buy extra demand while reviews and content build over time.
You can start with SEO and add other parts when they make sense. If your website is slow, broken or unclear, we will tell you. Search work cannot perform properly when customers cannot use the site or find your phone number.
Start SEO and Content at £249 a month.
Add a website from £1,295 when the current one holds you back.
Add the AI Receptionist for £169 a month to answer missed calls.

FAQ
Tradespeople ask us these most
Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a tradesperson.
Expect months, not days. Google needs time to find, assess and compare new pages, listings and reviews. The starting point, competition and town all affect progress. We track the searches that matter to you and report movement each month. You may see useful early changes, but we will not call a short-term jump a guaranteed result.
The SEO and Content plan includes two new pages or articles each month, local SEO work, Google Business Profile posts, local directory listings, rank tracking and a plain-English monthly report. We plan the work around your services and towns. It is ongoing work, not just advice. All prices exclude VAT.
Yes. Monthly billing starts when the work goes live, with a 12 month minimum term and monthly billing thereafter. This reflects the time needed for search work to build. Website work is separate, with 50% due on signature and 50% at launch. We explain the plan and deliverables before you commit.
No. We can work with your existing website if it is sound, quick enough and easy for customers to use. We will say so if it is slow, broken, confusing or stopping search visitors from contacting you. If it needs replacing, our website packages start from £1,295. A new build is never used as a reason to delay honest advice.
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a Google position. Results depend on competition, location, search changes and the quality of your whole online presence. Anyone guaranteeing page one should worry you. We promise clear work, sensible targets and honest reporting. Our aim is more relevant visibility and enquiries, not a made-up ranking promise.
Google considers how well your business matches the search, how close and relevant you are, and how trustworthy your business appears. Your service pages, Google Business Profile, reviews, photos, local listings and website all help. A competitor may rank higher because their information is clearer or their reviews are stronger, even if their workmanship is not better.
We can target searches that match your actual work, such as "joiner near me", "carpenter Newcastle" or "fitted wardrobes Gateshead". Local map results also depend on the searcher's location and your service area. We improve the information around your business and track agreed searches. We never claim you serve places where you do not take jobs.
Yes. Separate pages can explain plaster repairs, skimming, rendering, painting and decorating when those are genuine services. Each page uses customer wording and covers practical details such as preparation, drying, access and likely job limits. That gives Google a clearer match and helps a visitor decide whether to request a quote from you.
We build content around real customer concerns, such as mould, condensation, penetrating damp and treatment options. We avoid diagnosing a property from a photograph or making unsafe promises. Your qualifications, TrustMark status, methods and insurance can be shown where relevant. Town pages can then connect those services with places such as Durham, Sunderland or Washington.
We can cover your genuine service area, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. We prioritise the towns that suit your travel time and profitable work. Each location page needs real detail, so we do not create dozens of copied pages at once.
AI can help us prepare a useful first draft, but it does not publish content by itself. A human checks every page for accuracy, practical advice, local detail and your real services. We remove invented claims and generic wording. Google cares whether content helps people, so the finished article must be useful, accurate and written for your customers.
We track agreed service searches across your important towns, along with work completed on pages, listings and your Google Business Profile. The monthly report explains what changed, what needs time and what we recommend next. Search position is only one sign. We also look at relevant website visits, calls and quote enquiries where your tracking setup allows it.
Reviews help in two ways. They can support trust signals around your local listing, and they give customers proof when choosing between similar businesses. We help you request honest reviews after completed jobs and reply properly to feedback. We do not write reviews for customers or promise that a review alone will move you to the top.
SEO builds visibility over time, while Google Ads can put your advert in front of searches sooner. They serve different purposes. If you want paid leads, our Google Ads Management plan is £449 a month, with ad spend billed separately by Google. We can manage both so your adverts and search pages support the same services and towns.
Search only creates an opportunity. If you cannot answer while working, the AI Receptionist can answer every call 24/7 in your business name, take job details, qualify the caller and text you immediately. It costs £169 a month, or Care plus Receptionist costs £199 a month. We can add it after your SEO starts.
