Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Dover every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Losing annual repeat customers to competitors
Chimney sweeping is a recurring job — once a year, every year. If a competitor has a better online presence, your loyal customers might switch without thinking twice.
Not showing up on Google Maps in your area
Someone searches "chimney sweep near me" and picks from the top results. If your listing isn't optimised, you're invisible to the customers searching right now.
Customers can't tell you apart from unqualified sweeps
Without visible certifications and reviews online, homeowners can't distinguish a HETAS-registered professional from someone who bought a brush and made a Facebook page.
Only known in a small area through word of mouth
Your regulars rebook every year, but you could be covering twice the area. A strong Google Maps listing means people across your whole region find you when they search.
