Websites for plumbers, electricians, builders and other trades

Most trades get work from two places: word of mouth and Google. When someone searches "electrician near me" or "roofer Wellingborough", Google shows a map with three businesses at the top, then a list of websites. If you are in neither, that customer goes to someone else.

For businesses like plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, roofers and cleaners, a website needs to do a few simple things well:

• Say what you do and where you work, in the first few lines.
• Show real photos of your jobs.
• Put your phone number and a WhatsApp button where people can tap them on a mobile.
• Offer a short quote form for people who would rather type than call.
• Have a page for each main service and each area you cover, so Google can match you to more searches.

Why we usually use Orbit Commerce for trades

We are an Orbit Commerce Partner and a Shopify Partner. Shopify is built for selling products. Orbit Commerce suits trades, services and local firms that mainly need to be found and contacted, so it is normally the better fit for a tradesperson. If you also sell products, such as a supplier with a trade counter, Shopify might be the right choice instead. We will recommend one and explain why.

Getting into the Google Maps top three

The map results come from your Google Business Profile, so a good website on its own is only half the job. Our local SEO service covers the other half. We set up or tidy your Google Business Profile, post updates to it with photos of recent jobs, and run a weekly rank scan across a grid of points over your area. The map comes back coloured: green where you are in the top three, red where you are nowhere. You see exactly which streets and villages you show up in, and whether it is improving.

Posts go to your website, Google and Facebook from one screen, and nothing goes out until you approve it. Read more on our local SEO page.

Case study: Volt & Spoke

Volt & Spoke is a mobile bike repair business in Glasgow. It works like most trades: the mechanic travels to the customer, so the business lives or dies on local searches. We built a booking site, a set of area pages for the towns they cover, and weekly rank tracking so they can see where they appear on Google Maps. The same approach works for a Wellingborough plumber or builder covering the town and nearby villages. See more of our work.

What it costs

Websites are from £250 one-off, with tiers at £250, £495 and £795. Most trades sit in the first or second tier, depending on how many services and area pages you need. You own the site. We build a free preview of your homepage first, so you only pay once you like what you see.

Local SEO and social management is from £70 a month with no contract, so you can stop whenever you want. It includes your Google Business Profile, the weekly Maps rank scans and the approved posts. All prices are on our pricing page.
