PROBLEMS

Why Most Businesses Can't Get Marketing to Work

9 out of 10 businesses we audit have the same problems. See if any of these sound familiar.

You're completely dependent on referrals

There's no system to replace what referrals are doing. When the pipeline slows, there's nothing to fall back on.

You've tried ads and got the wrong leads

Google ads. Facebook ads. Google Guarantee. The phone rang, but every call was a price shopper looking for the cheapest quote.

You have a website. It does nothing.

It gets no traffic and nobody new is finding it. It's a digital business card sitting there collecting dust.

How We Build Your Entire Marketing System — From Branding to Leads

Every system starts here. Without the right foundation, everything else costs more and works less.

We build on WordPress with every service you offer and every city you work in getting its own page, and structured so Google can rank it and visitors actually call. Not a brochure. A lead machine that the rest of the system is built on top of.

Once the foundation is in place, we turn on ads to bring work in immediately.

We build campaigns that target the right searches, in the right cities, for the right job types. Tracked against actual leads and revenue,  not clicks and impressions. Ads running on a proper website convert better and cost less. That’s why Step 1 comes first.

We target the exact searches your clients make before they call anyone, by city, by service, by job type. It compounds over time, gets cheaper per lead as it grows, and eventually reduces what you need to spend on ads. Takes time to build, which is why we start it while Step 2 keeps revenue coming in.

With the system running, social media keeps your brand visible between jobs.

We manage your Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok,  creating content that reflects your work, builds trust with local customers, and keeps you top of mind. Most service businesses know they should be posting. Few have the time. We handle it so you don’t have to.

APPROACH

Website Design, SEO and Google Ads Built on a Foundation You Own

A website is the foundation of your marketing, not a brochure. We build the site first, with a page for every service and every city you work in, and only then turn on SEO and ads. You own it, we stay to look after it, and it grows with you.

We won't run ads before we've agreed on a lead target.

If we don't agree how many leads you need first, nobody can tell whether the ads are working.

We won't sell you SEO before your website can support it.

SEO builds on the site. We get the foundation right first, then grow on top of it.

We won't hold your website hostage.

You own your domain, your files and your content from day one. 30% of the clients we've worked with did not control their own domain when they came to us.

Why We Set a Lead Target Before Running Google Ads or Meta Ads

A business hired us to run their ads and let us go after about a month, because results weren’t coming fast enough. The mistake was ours. Here is what went wrong, and what we do now.

THE BUDGET

Only $600 in total ad spend.

THE TARGET

No lead target was agreed up front.

THE OUTCOME

The client let us go after about a month.

WHAT WE DO NOW

We agree the lead target and budget first.

Our Website Design and SEO Process

Step 1: You fill in a questionnaire about your services, service area, history, branding and content.

Step 2: You get a draft design within a week.

Step 3: If you like it, we build it out and finalize it with you.

Step 4: We launch it. The final payment is only due once you have signed off.

We teach you how to use the site, make any change you ask for within one business day, handle security, keep it live 24/7, renew your domain and keep your hosting active. You never have to log in to anything if you don’t want to.

We start with an SEO audit that shows what is wrong and where the opportunities are, plus a 6 month plan. You choose fast track (more pages built each week) or normal growth. You get a monthly update with the plan for the next month, and a strategy review each quarter.

If you want content that reflects your own expertise, you can add a 30 minute weekly call, or we write on your behalf.

A brand new website can’t rank for the most competitive searches yet. We start with specific searches that few sites target, then move to harder ones as the site builds traction and credibility.

Stop Losing Work to Competitors Who Are Easier to Find.

If your phone isn’t ringing consistently, it’s not because you’re not good enough. It’s because the right people can’t find you. We build the website, run the ads, and grow the SEO so your business shows up where your next client is already looking. No guesswork. Just a system built around how your customers search.
