When we were looking for someone to change the roof on our new house we went online and my other half registered with a website where she could post up a job and a selection of local tradesmen reply introducing themselves and either giving an estimate or asking for more information etc. | |

Get a van and get it signwritten. Also word of mouth does better than any advert in a paper. | |

Are you not better of getting approved by Check-A-Trade for that sort of thing? | |

Why is it? hundreds of thousands of pages advertising local businesses, and they do very well. You then post your page on other local pages, word then spreads. | |

Advertising a business on facebook is asking for trouble IMO | |

quote: 100% agree with Andy, I've done around 8-9 tradesman's websites, every single one of them have terrible traffic stats (not due to poor SEO either!). Complete waste of time and money for them to have a website. You need a quarter page advert in the paper, will cost you £80-100, but 1 job will more than cover it.... | |

You could advertise on Gumtree for free. | |

Don't bother with a site, no-one will visit it, they never do for tradesmen. | |

Look around on Google for a decent company. I know that Whittie on here does a fair few websites, make your own mind up about him :lol: | |

Don't waste your time. Word of mouth and paid advertising in local householder magazines would be far better. | |
