UK & Ireland20 cities, 4 trades

Trades and towns we cover

One page per trade, and one page per city, each written around what a firm in that city is actually selling rather than around its name.

There are 80 of them because 80 were written. Google calls the other way of doing this a doorway page and penalises the whole site for it, and it does not fool a tradesman either.

By trade

What a website in your trade has to do

Which service pages it needs, the one question that keeps time wasters off the phone, and what actually happens in the six months after it goes live.

What happens next

When it starts bringing you work

The honest version, including the months where nothing much happens.

01

Very little happens

The site is indexed and your Google listing is verified. Anyone promising you the top of page one this month is selling you something.

Month one

02

The map results move

Your listing starts showing for searches near you, which is where most trade enquiries begin. This is usually the first month the phone changes.

Month two to three

03

Search traffic settles

The service pages and the town pages start bringing people who typed the job rather than your name. Reviews you have asked for are doing work by now.

Month six

04

It compounds, or it does not

Pages you add keep earning; pages nobody wrote never start. We tell you which two are worth writing next and you decide whether to bother.

After that

Not on the list?

It means nobody has written your town yet, not that we will not build for it. Tell us the trade and the towns you cover and you get a straight answer within one working day.

Beeforge is a small studio working across the UK and Ireland, from Cornwall to Caithness and Dublin to Belfast. There is no office in your town and we are not going to pretend otherwise — the twenty minute call, the twelve photographs and the read through all happen on the phone, which is why your side of it comes to about ninety minutes.

Next step

Tell us your trade and the towns you cover

A straight yes, no, or not yet, within one working day.

Nothing to sign

No twelve month tie in, no exit fee and no notice period. Stop whenever you like and the site stays yours.

It is yours, in writing

Before you pay a penny we tell you who the domain is registered to, where the files sit, who holds the logins, and how to move the site elsewhere.

Your side of it is small

No copy to write and no hosting to work out. Answer questions for about an hour and a half and send twelve decent photos.
