Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from handymen in Northampton every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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.
Not showing up when people search locally
Someone searches "handyman near me" and picks from the top results. If you're not in those spots, they don't even know you exist — and someone less skilled gets the work.
Happy customers but they never leave reviews
Every satisfied customer who doesn't leave a review is a missed opportunity. With 50+ five-star reviews, you'd never have a quiet week again.
What We Do for Handymen
Four things that work together to bring you a steady stream of enquiries and calls — week after week.
Professional Website

Google Maps
We optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack when people search for your trade locally.
More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
What Makes Northampton Unique for Handymen
From Abington, Far Cotton, Kingsthorpe, Weston Favell and beyond, Northampton properties range from Victorian terraces from the shoe industry era, inter-war semis, and modern estates on the outskirts. Victorian shoe workers' housing, with significant inter-war and post-war expansion. Whether you are based in the NN postcode area or serve the wider region, a strong online presence is essential.
Northampton homeowners regularly need help with flat-pack assembly, shelving and fixtures, door hanging. Steady year-round demand; peaks after Christmas for furniture assembly and spring for DIY jobs. With TrustMark, Checkatrade accreditation expected by many customers, standing out online is the difference between a full diary and a quiet phone.
There are around 50-100 handymen in and around Northampton. The ones filling their diary are the ones customers find first online. A strong website, solid reviews, and a missed-call system mean you never lose a job to a competitor who simply picked up the phone faster.

Questions from Handymen in Northampton
Straight answers — no jargon.
Can you target specific areas within Northampton?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you serve within Northampton. So you show up when someone nearby needs a handyman.
How many handymen are competing in Northampton?
There are plenty of handymen serving Northampton, but most have no website and few reviews. A properly optimised online presence puts you ahead of the majority immediately.
How is this different from TaskRabbit or Bark?
TaskRabbit and Bark charge per lead and you compete with other handymen for the same job. We build YOUR online presence so customers come directly to you. No middleman, no per-lead fees.
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, not mobile-friendly, or missing key services, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
