What you get with My Local Trades

Everything we do comes down to one question: will this bring you more enquiries?

That's it. That's what you're paying us for. A website isn't there to look pretty. It's there to make your phone ring. If you just want a nice looking website, I'm honestly not your man. But if you want a website that works as hard as you do, here's exactly what you get, from the first chat to years down the line.

From first chat to live website

Here's how it works, step by step.

Getting started

  1. A proper chat first

    Before anything else, we have a video call on Google Meet. It can be up to an hour, because I want to understand your business, where you work and the jobs you want more of. There's no hard sell. If it's not right for you, I'll tell you.

  2. A quick onboarding form

    If you're happy to go ahead, you fill in a short form with the basics about your business. It's quick, because I was an electrician for years and I already know what a trade business needs. The form just covers what makes yours different.

  3. We build it privately

    Your website is built on a private development address first, so nobody sees it until it's ready and you're happy with it.

Your walkthrough

  1. Your own WhatsApp group

    When your website is ready to look at, we set up a WhatsApp group with you and the team. That's where everything happens from then on.

  2. Time to look it over

    You get about a week to have a proper look through the site in your own time.

  3. A screen share call with me

    Then we have another video call. I share my screen and walk you through everything: how the site works, why it's built the way it is, and how it's going to bring you work.

  4. Honest advice on changes

    After the call, I make the changes that will help. If you ask for something I don't think will bring you enquiries, I'll tell you and we'll talk it through. You're paying for my experience, so you'll get it.

Going live

  1. Your website goes live

    Once you're happy with it, we put it live.

  2. Your emails, sorted

    If you want your business emails with us, we set them up. If you've already got emails somewhere else, we move them all across for you, so you don't lose a single one.

  3. Google Search Console and MLT Tracker

    We connect your website to Google's own tools so we can see how Google views your site. And you get your own MLT Tracker login to see visits, the pages people look at, phone clicks and WhatsApp clicks. No jargon, just the numbers that matter.

What's on your website

This isn't a five page brochure site that sits there doing nothing. Your website is built around the places you work and the jobs you do, and it grows over time.

  • Location pages for the towns and villages you cover, so you show up where your customers actually are
  • Job type pages for the specific work you want more of, not just broad services
  • A blog to share your knowledge and keep your site fresh
  • A portfolio to show off your work
  • FAQs that answer the questions your customers ask you every day
  • Meet the team so people know who'll be turning up at their door
  • Video sections to show you and your work in action

Everything a local trade business needs to win work online, and nothing it doesn't.

Ongoing support

There's no such thing as a website you can build and leave these days. The websites that win work are the ones that keep growing. That's where most of what we do happens.

Just send it on WhatsApp. Finished a job and taken some photos? Send them straight to your WhatsApp group from your phone. No logins, no dashboards, no passwords to remember. We'll get them on your website.

We check in with you. The team will be in touch regularly, asking for photos, news, blog ideas and content for your location and job type pages. You don't have to remember to update your website, because we'll remind you.

Help with the writing. You're brilliant at your trade, but you're not a writer, and nobody expects you to be. We have tools that make it easy, we'll guide you on exactly what to write if you'd like to do it yourself, and if you'd rather hand it over completely, we offer a blog writing service as an optional extra.

Time with me

Up to an hour with me every month

You can book a video call with me through my online calendar at a time that suits you. I keep early morning and evening slots, because I know you're on the tools during the day.

Regular reviews

I encourage every customer to book in with me at least every two or three months. We go through how your website is doing, what's working and what to do next.

I keep an eye on things

I track the enquiries coming through your website's forms, and I check your Google Search Console regularly to make sure everything is heading in the right direction. If something needs attention, I'll spot it.

Something you own

This is the part that matters most to me.

Some of my customers have been with me for years, and they've got to the point where they don't do any other marketing at all. Their website brings in enough enquiries on its own, all from Google, without paying for a single click. That's because every page, every blog and every photo builds up your reputation with Google over time. It's yours. You're building something.

Directory sites

  • You're listed while you pay the monthly fee
  • The day you stop paying, you're gone
  • You've built nothing of your own

Your own website

  • Every page builds your reputation with Google
  • Your rankings grow year after year
  • It's yours, and nobody can take it away

And be careful with companies selling quick AI websites. AI is a brilliant tool, and I use it myself. But a tool is only as good as the person using it. Plenty of new companies are using AI to churn out websites without the SEO knowledge to get the basics right, and a site that looks great on launch day can quietly slide down Google over the months that follow.

Before you sign up with anyone, ask how long they've been doing this, who writes your content, and what happens to your rankings if something goes wrong.

Straight talking, always

If it only needs a few bits doing, I'll tell you. If it needs rebuilding from the ground up, I'll tell you that too.

I'll be honest with you from the very first call. If you book in and ask me what I think of your current website, I'll tell you, and I won't try to sell you something you don't need. I don't pull punches.

I couldn't sleep at night if I took someone's money and didn't deliver what I'd promised. We do exactly what we say we're going to do.

I know that's easy to say. Anyone can put words on a website, and actions speak louder than words. So don't just take my word for it. Give us the chance, and we'll prove it to you over time, the same way we have with customers who've been with us for years.

Simple, honest pricing

No complicated tiers and no paying more for extra pages. Everyone gets the same service for the same price.

Your website

Everything on this page. There's no limit on pages, you can keep sending us your content and we'll keep adding it, and you get up to an hour with me every month.

£137+ VAT a month

Google Business Profile Optional extra

We make sure your profile is properly filled in, and we write two posts a month for it, making full use of the space Google gives you.

£97+ VAT a month

Blog writing Optional extra

Two blogs a month, written by our team and published on your website. They're as long as they need to be, written around your jobs and the areas you cover, and they link through to your location and job type pages. That works out at £58.50 a blog.

£117+ VAT a month

The lot Save £54 a month

Your website, Google Business Profile and blogs all together.

£297+ VAT a month

The optional extras are available to website customers.

Every word we write for you is written by a real person. We don't use AI to write your content. Never have, never will.

The people behind it

I was an electrician before I ever built a website, and I've been doing SEO and building websites for tradespeople for over 20 years. I know your world, because I've worked in it.

Over those years I've built a business and a team that can give every customer real, personal time. Lisa, Lillie and Becky are the people you'll be chatting to on WhatsApp, and I'm the person you'll see on your calls. We're not a faceless company and we're not going anywhere.

Our customers tell us all the time how much value they get for what they pay, and that's something we're really proud of.

Let's have a chat
