Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from handymen in Bath every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Customers calling a specialist instead of you
Someone needs a tap fixed and calls a plumber when you could've done it in half the time for half the price. Without a proper online presence, they don't know you offer that service.
Doing great work but not enough reviews to prove it
Customers trust reviews more than anything. The handyman with 60 five-star reviews gets the call over the one with 5 — even if you're faster, neater, and more reliable.
No online presence beyond a Facebook page
A Facebook page is fine for posting photos but it doesn't show up on Google. When someone searches "handyman near me", Facebook pages rarely appear — but a proper website does.
Missing calls while you're busy on another job
You're up a ladder fitting a shelf and your phone rings. By the time you call back, they've already booked someone else. Every missed call is a lost job.
