Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from handymen in Rochdale every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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.
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.
Only getting work in a small radius through word of mouth
Your regulars love you, but you're only known on two streets. A strong Google Maps listing means people across your whole area find you when they search.
No website to show the range of work you do
You can do plumbing, carpentry, tiling, painting — but without a website listing your services, customers assume you only do odd jobs. You're losing bigger work to specialists.
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
A fast, mobile-friendly website with your phone number, enquiry form, and reviews front and centre. Built to turn visitors into calls.
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.

Questions from Handymen in Rochdale
Straight answers — no jargon.
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.
How long before I start getting calls in Rochdale?
Website and Google Maps fixes go live within 1-2 weeks. If you add Local Services Ads targeting Rochdale, most handymen see new leads within 4-8 weeks. Reviews build steadily and every new one helps.
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.
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.
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.
