Working Telford as a builder
Pretty much every builder call in Telford starts the same way: someone in Ketley or Brookside needs help with extensions or loft conversions, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Telford customers searching for a builder usually live in Oakengates, Donnington, Dawley or one of the satellite areas like Newport or Bridgnorth. The local property mix in Telford drives a steady demand for extensions and structural repairs from builders.
What We Do
For builders covering Telford, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The builder customers in Telford Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. It is an everything-in package, not an a-la-carte menu. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, all bundled. Removing things does not make it cheaper because the system only works as a system.
For builders in Telford, the search terms that matter are not "builder" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "extensions" and "loft conversions". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the builder pages of your site.
If you cover structural repairs and renovations as a builder, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Builders who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Builders Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell builders working Telford and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for builder searches in Telford is decided by the things most builders never touch. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Telford, 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 Telford. We get your builder listing into that group. The trades on our list right now have a combined 700+ reviews on Google between them. That is the kind of business we work with: established, well-reviewed, but not yet visible enough on Google. We bridge that last gap.

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
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
Review Automation
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.

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?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
