Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Macclesfield every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
HETAS certified but nobody online knows it
Your certification matters — it's what separates you from cowboys. But if it's not front and centre on your website and Google listing, customers can't see the difference.
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.
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.
No way for customers to book online
Modern customers expect to check availability and book in seconds. If your only contact method is a phone call, you're losing bookings to sweeps who make it easier.
