Where your customers actually are
When someone needs a tradesman now, they search, and they rarely look past the map pack and the first few results. If you are not there for your trade plus your town, the work is quietly going to whoever is. Local SEO is how you get there and stay there.
It is not magic and it is not instant. It is making Google confident that you are a real, reviewed, relevant local business for the searches that matter, and then keeping you ahead of the firms doing the same.
What local SEO for a trade business involves
Three things do most of the work: a properly set up and optimised Google Business Profile so you appear in the map pack; a fast, well-structured website with a real page for each service you want; and a steady, visible flow of genuine reviews. Get those right and you beat most local competitors.
We handle all three, target the searches in your area that actually bring work rather than vanity terms, and report back in plain English so you can see what your money is doing.
SEO by trade
The searches, the competition and the customer behaviour differ by trade. We tailor the work accordingly:

Common questions
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. We are not interested in locking you in. We will tell you what we would do and what it costs, and you decide. The work has to earn its place every month.
How long before I see results from SEO?
Local SEO is not instant. Map pack and review improvements can move within weeks, but ranking gains for competitive searches usually build over three to six months. Anyone promising page one in days is not being straight with you.
Can you guarantee number one on Google?
No honest provider can guarantee a specific position, because Google decides the rankings, not us. What we can do is target the searches that actually bring you work and steadily improve your visibility for them.
Do I need a new website first?
Sometimes. SEO works much harder on a fast, well-structured site. If your current site is holding you back we will say so, and we build websites too, so we can sort both. If it is fine, we will leave it alone.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Watford and work with tradesmen across Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties, and remotely further afield. The SEO itself targets whichever towns you want to win work in.
