Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Wigan every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
No way for customers to book online
Modern customers expect to check availability and book in seconds. If your only contact method is a phone call, you're losing bookings to sweeps who make it easier.
Losing annual repeat customers to competitors
Chimney sweeping is a recurring job — once a year, every year. If a competitor has a better online presence, your loyal customers might switch without thinking twice.
No website to build trust and show credentials
Homeowners want to check you're legitimate before letting you into their home. Without a professional website showing your certifications, insurance, and reviews, they'll pick someone else.
Only known in a small area through word of mouth
Your regulars rebook every year, but you could be covering twice the area. A strong Google Maps listing means people across your whole region find you when they search.

Questions from Chimney Sweeps in Wigan
Straight answers — no jargon.
How is this different from directory listings?
Directory listings charge you per lead and bury you among other sweeps. We build YOUR online presence so customers come directly to you. No middleman, no per-lead fees.
Can you target specific areas within Wigan?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you cover within Wigan. So you show up when someone nearby searches for a chimney sweep.
How many chimney sweeps are competing in Wigan?
There are several sweeps serving Wigan, but most have weak websites and few reviews. A properly optimised online presence with your HETAS credentials front and centre puts you ahead immediately.
How long before I start getting bookings in Wigan?
Website and Google Maps fixes go live within 1-2 weeks. If you add Local Services Ads targeting Wigan during peak season, results come faster. Reviews build steadily and every new one helps.
Is there a long contract?
No. After an initial 3-month period (so we can actually show results), it's rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days' notice. No lock-ins. And you keep the website either way.
