Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from paving contractors in Derby every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Driveway enquiries going to the contractor with the better portfolio
A new driveway is a £3,000-£10,000 investment. Homeowners compare contractors carefully online — if they can't see examples of your work, you're not even in the running.
No gallery showing the quality of your work
Paving is visual — customers want to see materials, patterns, and finished results. Without a website showcasing your best work, they have no reason to get in touch.
Not showing up on Google Maps in your area
Someone searches "paving contractor near me" and picks from the top results. If your listing isn't optimised, they call your competitor instead — even if you do better work.
Covering a wide area but only known locally
You travel 30 miles for the right job, but homeowners 10 miles away have never heard of you. A strong Google Maps listing means the whole area knows you exist.

Questions from Paving Contractors in Derby
Straight answers — no jargon.
Do I need to run ads to get leads?
Not at all. Most paving contractors start with the website and Maps optimisation. Ads are optional — we only recommend them when the numbers make sense for your area.
How will this help me get more paving work in Derby?
We make sure your business shows up when someone in Derby searches for a paving contractor. That means a professional website with your best driveways and patios, a Google Maps listing that ranks locally, and more reviews to build trust.
Can you target specific areas within Derby?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you cover within Derby. So you show up when someone nearby searches for a paving contractor.
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 a portfolio, or not bringing in enquiries, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
