Frequently asked questions

Can SEO help a trades business get more local enquiries?

It can help the right customers understand your work, see where you operate and take the next step. The website needs to make your services, local coverage and contact route clear, then keep improving as the business grows.

What does local SEO for tradesmen need to cover?

It should make the jobs you take on, the areas you cover and the proof behind your business easy to find and understand. That gives a local customer a clearer reason to contact you when they need help.

Do I need a separate website company and SEO agency?

No. 118 combines the website, hosting, support and ongoing improvements in one plan, so there is no need to coordinate separate suppliers just to keep the site moving.

Can you help if I cover several towns or counties?

Yes. The website can explain the places you serve without repeating the same message everywhere. The useful detail is the work you do, the customers you help and the areas where you can actually take on jobs.

What if my website is old or not bringing in enough leads?
