Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from handymen in Nottingham every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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.
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.
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.

Questions from Handymen in Nottingham
Straight answers — no jargon.
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.
I get most of my work through word of mouth — do I need this?
Word of mouth is great, but it's unpredictable. One quiet month and you're scrambling. A strong online presence means you've always got jobs coming in on top of your referrals.
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.
Do I need to run ads to get leads?
Not at all. Most handymen start with the website and Maps optimisation. Ads are optional — we only recommend them when the numbers make sense for your area.
Can you target specific areas within Nottingham?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you serve within Nottingham. So you show up when someone nearby needs a handyman.
