Best Marketing for Tradesmen

If your Google listing is half-empty, your website is from 2014, and you're losing jobs to people with worse work and fewer reviews, keep reading.

7 paying UK clients · all in the trades · all on monthly plans

What's Actually Going On

When prospects ask us about Tradesman Marketing, the conversation usually goes the same way. Here is the short version of how we approach Best Marketing for Tradesmen for the seven UK trades businesses we already manage. Here's the unflattering truth: if your business name plus your town does not return your Google listing on the first page, the customers searching for you right now have never heard of you and never will. That is what we fix.

Every page on the SwiftLead site that mentions Tradesman Marketing is grounded in the work we are already doing for paying clients. The Tradesman Marketing bit is included in the £199/month management fee and we do it weekly without you having to ask.

What We Do About It

When prospects ask us about Tradesman Marketing, the conversation usually goes the same way. Here is the short version of how we approach Best Marketing for Tradesmen for the seven UK trades businesses we already manage. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.

Real Clients, Not Stock Photos

When prospects ask us about Tradesman Marketing, the conversation usually goes the same way. Here is the short version of how we approach Best Marketing for Tradesmen for the seven UK trades businesses we already manage. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.

Missed-Call Text-Back

Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.

Review Automation

Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.

What It Costs

Two numbers. £199 once for the site itself, £199 every month for the management. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. Three months minimum then rolling.

Setup

Frequently Asked

What does it actually cost?

One job from Google pays for the month. The price is £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.

What do you actually do every month?

We sort your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when locals search. We build you a website that loads fast on a phone. We get reviews coming in automatically after every job. We text customers back when you miss a call. And we send you a monthly report that shows what changed.

Do I need to do anything technical?

No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.

What if I already have a website?

No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.

How long until I see results?

We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.

Can I cancel?

Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
