SEO & websites for UK trades

Be the first name they find.

When someone in your town searches for a roofer, builder or scaffolder, most of the work goes to the firms at the top of Google. We put you there, then keep you there. SEO and web design for tradesmen, by construction people, from £200 + VAT a month with no contract.

The problem

Good work. Invisible website.

Most trade websites were built once and never touched again. They look fine, but Google can't tell what you do or where you work, so it sends the customer to someone else. We have now checked more than a hundred trade websites across Kent and the Home Counties, and the same six faults come up almost every time.

01

Google doesn't know where you work

One page saying "we cover the area" won't rank in ten towns. Each town you want work from needs its own page, written properly, not the same text with the name swapped.

02

The headline doesn't say what you do

Your page title is the blue link on Google. If it says "Home" or just your company name instead of "Roofers in Maidstone", Google has nothing to match a search to.

03

Directories take your customers

Checkatrade, Yell and the rest hold three to five of every ten results, sit above you, and charge you per lead for customers your own website should be winning.

04

There isn't enough on the page

A homepage with 300 words and a gallery gives Google nothing to rank. The sites on page one in your town have written far more, and we can show you exactly how much.

05

Your Business Profile is on its own

The map at the top of Google wins the phone calls. The wrong category, no services, no new reviews and no photos keep you out of it even when your work is better.

06

Nobody's looking after it

No reporting, no new pages, no idea if it works. Websites that sit still slide down Google while competitors who keep adding pages climb past them.

What page one looks like

The bar is higher than most trade sites think

"Good" only means matching the firms that are beating you. So in every town we work in, we measure them first.

These are the three roofing websites holding page one in five Kent towns, measured in October 2026. In one of those towns, 52 roofing companies were trading, 32 had a website, and 2 were on page one.

Kent townHomepage wordsPages on siteTown pages
Ashford~1,3506529
Aylesford~1,2008212
Canterbury~3,6004111
Dartford~1,2708343
Maidstone~1,1507934

Average of the top three organic roofing sites per town, Google UK, October 2026. Directory sites excluded.

Most trade sites we review have under 500 words on the homepage, fewer than 10 pages and no town pages at all. That gap, not the design, is why they are on page three. The monthly plan closes it one page at a time.

Results

Proven on our own construction businesses first.

Before we offered this to anyone, we did it for construction firms we run ourselves. The figures below come straight from their Google Search Console, checked 13 October 2026.

Customers are asking ChatGPT for trades now. A homeowner in Beaconsfield asked it for a scaffolder in Buckinghamshire, and it named Ox Scaffold, a firm with zero Google visibility in that town. Every site we build is set up to be found by Google and by AI assistants.

How it works

Simple. Month by month.

No big upfront bill and no contract. We improve your site a step at a time, biggest wins first, and you see the results every month in your own Search Console.

1. Free breakdown

We check twenty searches for your trade and your towns, who holds page one and the map for each, and audit your website and Business Profile against them. Free, no obligation, yours to keep.

2. Your plan

We turn the breakdown into a month-by-month plan, with the cheap fast fixes first and the new pages after, so your site gets measurably better every single month.

3. Monthly report

Every month you get a plain-English report: where you rank, what moved, what we did and what's next. Stay because it works, not because you're tied in.

An example plan

Month 1Search Console connected, page titles and descriptions rewritten to name your trade and town, headings fixed, Business Profile category and services corrected
Month 2Business details coded for Google and AI assistants, tap-to-call and WhatsApp on mobile, a review request link you can text to customers
Month 3Your first town page, 1,500 words or more of real local detail, built to rank
Month 4The next town or service page, chosen from what Search Console shows people are already searching
Month 5+A new page every month, Business Profile kept active with posts and review replies, ranking report

Full detail of what each month includes is on the services and pricing page.

Pricing

Straight prices. No surprises.

Two options. Most firms start with the monthly plan on their existing website. All prices are plus VAT; Imadoer Ltd is a UK VAT-registered company.

New custom website

£1,000 + VAT

One-off. Up to 5 pages. Extra pages £200 + VAT each. 50% to start, 50% when you're happy.

  • Custom-coded, not a template, so it's fast and built to rank

  • Written for your trade and your towns, set up for Google from day one

Who we work with

Built for the trades.

We only work with construction and trade businesses, so we know how your customers search, what they are nervous about, and what makes them pick up the phone. SEO for roofers is where most of our work is; the method is the same for every trade below.

Roofers Builders Scaffolders Electricians Plumbers & heating Painters & decorators Carpenters & joiners Plasterers Landscapers Kitchen & bathroom fitters Loft conversions Groundworkers

Where we work

Anywhere in the UK. The work is done remotely on your website, your Google Business Profile and your Search Console, so distance does not come into it. Imadoer Ltd is registered in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire; our own firms are in Oxfordshire and Dubai; and our first website reviews have gone to roofers across Kent, in Ashford, Maidstone, Canterbury, Dartford, Tonbridge and Aylesford.

What "SEO" means for a trade business

Not tricks, and not a dashboard full of jargon. It means that when someone types "roofers in Maidstone" or "scaffolding hire Bicester", your website is the one Google shows, your Business Profile is in the map, and the page they land on makes them ring you. Local SEO for tradesmen is mostly pages, details and patience, done properly and kept up every month.

AI search

Found by Google, and by ChatGPT

A growing share of customers now ask an AI assistant to recommend a trade instead of searching Google. Those assistants read the same website you do, and they read Bing.

On 28 September 2026 a homeowner in Beaconsfield rang Ox Scaffold because ChatGPT had suggested them for scaffolding in Buckinghamshire. Google had not shown Ox Scaffold for a single Beaconsfield search in the previous month. What made it possible was nothing clever: the site let AI crawlers in, the business details were coded on the page in the format assistants read, the name, address and phone matched everywhere, and there was a dedicated county page to point to.

We set up every site the same way, and we check your visibility on Bing as well as Google, because Bing is what ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot search. Some SEO firms still recommend blocking AI crawlers. We will never do that to your site.

Why Imadoer

Construction people, not a marketing agency.

Imadoer comes out of construction project management and estimating. We know what a good job looks like, what customers worry about, and how to write about your work so it rings true. More about who we are.

We speak your language

Pages about roofs, extensions and scaffolds written by people who've priced and managed them, not generic filler.

Proven on our own firms

Everything we sell, we've done for construction businesses we run. You get the method that worked, with the numbers, not a theory.

No tie-ins, no tricks

No contracts, no fake reviews, no link farms, no copy-and-paste town pages. You own your website, and you stay because the results are there.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Can you guarantee I'll be number one on Google?

No, and nobody honest can. What we do guarantee is that the work is done properly, that every change is listed in your monthly report, and that you can see the progress yourself in your own Google Search Console.

How long until I see results?

Title and description fixes show within days. New pages are usually picked up by Google within a week or two, and on our own sites well-built pages have reached the top 10 within four days. The bigger searches build over two to three months, and every month's report shows you where you've moved.

Do I need a new website?

Usually not. Most firms start on the £200 + VAT monthly plan and we upgrade their existing site step by step, whatever it was built on. If your current site genuinely can't be fixed, we'll tell you straight, and a new custom-coded site is £1,000 + VAT.

What happens if I cancel?

Nothing dramatic. There's no contract and no exit fee. Everything we've built on your site stays yours, your hosting and Google accounts are already in your name, and nothing stops working.

Do you work with my trade?

If you're a construction or trade business in the UK, yes. Roofers, builders, scaffolders, electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, decorators, carpenters, plasterers, landscapers, kitchen and bathroom fitters, loft converters and groundworkers.

I'm on Checkatrade and MyBuilder. Do I still need this?

Directories are fine for filling gaps, but you pay per lead and you're listed next to your competitors. The same searches that send people to Checkatrade can send them to your own website instead, where you're the only firm on the page. Most firms keep their directory listing and use the site to reduce how much they rely on it.

What is the free breakdown?

A check of twenty Google searches for your trade and your towns, who holds page one and the map for each, and a health check of your website and Google Business Profile against the firms beating you, with a plan in order of what would move you fastest. It's yours to keep whether or not you work with us.

Why are you cheaper than other SEO companies?

Because the work a local trade business needs is specific and repeatable, and because one person does it with no office, no account managers and no sales team. We take on a few firms at a time, and the first month is half price so you can judge the work before paying full rate.
