Web Design for Tradespeople

Whether you're a plumber, electrician, builder, or landscaper, your customers are searching online before they call anyone.

What Your Website Must Do

  1. Rank for local searches — 'Plumber in Reigate', 'Electrician near Oxted'
  2. Build immediate trust — Gas Safe registration, NICEIC accreditation, photos of real work
  3. Make it easy to contact you — Click-to-call phone number visible on every page
  4. Showcase your work — Before and after photos are incredibly powerful for trades
  5. Display reviews prominently — Checkatrade, Google, and TrustATrader ratings

The Fastest Way to Get More Trade Leads

Local SEO is the single most powerful tool for tradespeople. When someone's boiler breaks at 9pm, they Google 'emergency plumber near me'. You need to be there.

Key elements:

  • Google Business Profile claimed and optimised
  • Location-specific pages (e.g., 'Plumbing Services in Redhill')
  • Consistent phone number across all directories
  • Regular reviews from satisfied customers
