What's Actually Going On

Most owners who land on a page about Checkatrade Alternative are halfway through frustration with an agency or a freelancer. The version of Checkatrade Alternative we run is built specifically for that situation. There are two kinds of local businesses right now: the ones at the top of Google for their area, and the ones whose phones are quietly drying up. There's almost no middle ground anymore.

Checkatrade Alternative UK only really moves the needle when it is part of a continuous loop: weekly Checkatrade Alternative action, monthly Checkatrade Alternative reporting, and quick fixes when something stops working. That loop is what we sell. Not a one-off audit, not a course, not a coaching call.

What We Do About It

Checkatrade Alternative UK is one of the few things in marketing where the right answer has not changed much in five years. The hard bit of Checkatrade Alternative is doing the work consistently, not knowing what the work is. Practically speaking: you tell us your business name, your services, and your area. We build the website. We sort the Google listing. We start the review automation. We write the content. You go back to running your business.

Real Clients, Not Stock Photos

The version of Checkatrade Alternative that we run is opinionated. Checkatrade Alternative UK is not a long list of features. It is doing the same five things every week and reporting on what changed. Real client names you can verify on Google: Pinnacle Plumbers in Pontyclun, Tami Plumbing in Nottingham, Discount Heating NW in Liverpool, Optimum HVAC near Battle, M&R Property and Paving in Staines, Fylde Bathrooms in Blackpool, Alan's Plumbing in Cheshunt. All paying every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Every Monday we run a fresh ranking check across all your tracked search terms. Anything that dropped, we look into the same day. Anything that climbed, we double down on. That is the entire weekly SEO routine: small adjustments, every week, forever.

Missed-Call Text-Back

The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.

Review Automation

Most owners undercount how much reviews matter for ranking. Every additional review is a small boost to your local pack position, especially when the review mentions the service or area. The automation makes that compound silently in the background.

What It Costs

We do not believe in hiding prices, so here they are: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out the same way: One job from Google pays for the month.

Frequently Asked

What does it actually cost?

All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.

What do you actually do every month?

Three things, ranked by how quickly they pay back: missed-call text-back (instant), Google Business Profile management (weeks), and SEO (months). All three are included. No tiered features.

Do I need to do anything technical?

We handle every technical step. Website build, hosting, domain setup, DNS, Google Business Profile verification, schema markup, analytics. None of that is your job. You just answer the phone when calls come in.

What if I already have a website?

Easy. We migrate the existing site across and keep everything that is working. The domain stays yours. We just rebuild it on faster infrastructure and fix the things that are losing you calls.

How long until I see results?

We do not guarantee a number of leads or a ranking position because nobody can do that legitimately. We guarantee the work is done, the report is honest, and the system stays running. The results follow if you let it run for the three-month minimum.

Can I cancel?

Three-month minimum, then rolling. Cancel whenever, no fuss. The website stays yours, the domain stays yours, and we send you a clean handover so nothing breaks.
