Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from damp proofing specialists in East Kilbride every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Survey enquiries going to whoever ranks first
When a homeowner spots damp, they Google it straight away. The first specialist they find with good reviews gets the survey booking — and that's worth £500-£5,000+ in work.
Not showing up on Google Maps for local searches
Someone searches "damp proofing near me" and picks from the top results. If your listing isn't optimised, they never see your name — and the job goes to a competitor.
Competitors with worse credentials ranking above you
You've got PCA qualifications and proper insurance, but the cowboy with a better Google listing is getting the calls. Online visibility beats expertise unless people can find you.
Expert knowledge but not enough reviews to back it up
You know rising damp from condensation at a glance, but a homeowner comparing two specialists will always call the one with more five-star reviews. Trust wins every time.

Questions from Damp Proofing Specialists in East Kilbride
Straight answers — no jargon.
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.
What if I already have a website?
We'll audit it for free. If it's slow, missing your credentials, or not bringing in enquiries, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
Can you target specific areas within East Kilbride?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you cover within East Kilbride. So you show up when someone nearby searches for damp proofing.
Do I need to run ads to get leads?
Not at all. Most damp proofing specialists start with the website and Maps optimisation. Ads are optional — we only recommend them when the numbers make sense for your area.
Most of my work comes from surveyor referrals — do I need this?
Surveyor referrals are valuable, but they're not consistent. A strong online presence means homeowners come to you directly — often with higher urgency and willingness to pay for a proper fix.
