Website design for tradespeople: the phone rings for the right jobs
A trades or property services company wins on being found first, in the right borough, for the right job. We build the site around how people search, then get it found on Google and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
What does a website for a trades or property maintenance company need?
A website for a trades or property services company needs a page for every service and every area you cover, because that is how people search: "boiler repair Camden", "electrician in Ealing", "planned maintenance contractor London". Each page needs the phone number, a WhatsApp button and a quote form visible on a phone without scrolling, plus proof: real jobs, real reviews, accreditations. We build that from £1,200 for up to eight pages, as one fixed price agreed in writing, and add service and borough pages as the business grows. Getting found is a monthly plan: local SEO, a complete Google Business Profile and the answer-engine work that gets you named by AI. Mainteniq, a London property maintenance company, is the example: Google search impressions rose by 69%, from 40,712 to 69,143 (August to October 2026 against May to July), 39 calls came straight from Google between April and September 2026, and ChatGPT now names them its first choice for landlords and managing agents in London (October 2026).
Why do tradespeople lose clients online?
- Work comes from referrals and the same three clients, so a quiet month hits hard.
- Someone with half your experience shows up first when people search for your trade in your area.
- The website looks like a one-person handyman, not the professional operation you run.
- The Google Business Profile is half-filled, so you are not in the map results.
- When people ask ChatGPT who does your kind of work in your city, it names someone else.
What does being hard to find cost a trades business?
Every search you are not in is a job that went to the company that was. In trades that is a call-out today and possibly a maintenance contract for years. The companies that show up first are not better; they are set up to be found.
How do we get tradespeople found on Google and AI?

What do tradespeople get from us?
Where we work: We work with trades and property services companies across the UK, with London as the home patch. Everything is delivered online, with calls when it helps. The services behind it: custom websites, Google Business Profile setup, the SEO plans for small businesses and custom workflow automation. Our plain-English guide explains what missed call text back is.
How much do a website and SEO cost for a trades business?
A website of up to eight pages is £1,200 and up to twenty pages is £1,800, with basic SEO included, usually live 2 to 5 working days after all your content arrives. Getting found is the SEO and AI visibility plan: SEO (showing up on Google) plus AEO and GEO (being the answer AI tools such as ChatGPT give), from £350 a month on a 12-month Local plan, with Area from £550 and Growth from £750 a month. A Google Business Profile on its own is £300 one-off. Custom apps and software start from £10,000 and are scoped after a short call. Every price is fixed in writing before we start, and there is no VAT to add.
Which businesses like yours have we helped?
Mainteniq, a London property maintenance company (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, BMS), came to us with a site that brought in nothing. We rebuilt it with a page for every service and every borough, set up the Google Business Profile and the AI visibility work. Google search impressions rose by 69%, from 40,712 to 69,143 (August to October 2026 against May to July), 39 calls came straight from Google between April and September 2026, and ChatGPT now names them its first choice for landlords and managing agents in London (October 2026).

How much does a website for a trades company cost?
From £1,200 for up to eight pages or £1,800 for up to twenty, with basic SEO included, as one fixed price in writing after a free call. It is usually live 2 to 5 working days after all your content arrives. Extra service and borough pages are added as you grow.
Do I need a page for every area I cover?
Yes, if you want to be found there. People search "[trade] in [area]", and one page per area is how Mainteniq went from a few dozen Google impressions a day to more than 800 a day on average in September 2026.
Can you set up my Google Business Profile?
Yes, and it matters more than most people think. It is included in the monthly plan, or on its own.
How long until the phone rings?
A complete Google Business Profile often brings calls within weeks. Ranking the website for local searches usually builds from around month 3.
Can you build an app for my engineers?
Yes. We built Maintivo, a field-service iOS app, for Mainteniq. Apps are scoped and priced in writing after a call.
Do you work with trades outside London?
Yes, across the UK. The approach is the same: service pages, area pages, Google profile, AI visibility.
