Working Peterborough as a builder
Peterborough Cathedral, New Town development, Gateway to the Fens. For builders that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Fenland climate; one of the driest areas in England, prone to frost and flat-landscape winds. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
In Peterborough, the catchment for builders includes Bretton, Paston, Orton, and the wider PE area. Calls for new builds and extensions make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
For builders working Peterborough (especially around Paston and Orton), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns builder owners about. Most builders in Peterborough are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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.
For builders in Peterborough, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real builder jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches builders customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a builder, you already know the bread and butter: new builds and extensions, with renovations when the season turns. Homeowners planning extensions, renovations, or property developers, which means builders need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Builders Lose Calls Around Here
In Peterborough, the builders who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for builder services in Peterborough. We get your builder listing into that group. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the builders we have spoken to in Peterborough, the same pattern keeps coming up. The builders ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Peterborough get most of the calls. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £199 once and £199 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
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?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
