WHAT WE BUILD

SEO for trades is the process of making sure your trade business appears when local customers search Google, ask ChatGPT, or open Google Maps for a "[trade] near me". Done properly it covers four things: technical SEO (a clean, fast website), on-page SEO (pages that match real searches), off-page SEO (authority through links and citations), and local SEO (the Google map pack and AI search results).

FAQ

Common questions about trade business websites

Plain answers. If your question isn't here, ring me.

How long does SEO for trades take to work?

Most trades see their first qualified enquiries within 4–6 weeks. Real ranking momentum builds by week 8–12. Local SEO (map pack) usually moves fastest — 2–4 weeks for a noticeable shift in a postcode if the foundations are right.

Is SEO better than Google Ads for trades?

Both. SEO compounds — every month of work makes the next month easier. Ads bring cash flow today while SEO builds. The clients who win the most run them together; cost per booked job drops as SEO ranks and you can dial ad spend down.

Does this include AI search (ChatGPT, Gemini)?

Yes, from day one. 45% of Google searches now show AI-generated answers. I optimise content structure, schema and citations so you show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Bing Copilot answers — not just on the traditional results page.

Do I need a new website?

Usually no. Most trade sites can be optimised in place — speed fixes, schema, new landing pages added. If you're on something genuinely broken (an old Wix template from 2018, e.g.) I'll tell you straight on the strategy call.

What if my competitors are doing SEO too?

They probably aren't doing all four levers, and they almost certainly aren't doing AI search. That's where you overtake them. I'll run a free audit on the call showing exactly where the gaps are.
