Marketing for tradesmen

Marketing for tradesmen, with your own brand and your own enquiries.

One membership covers the marketing a trade business actually needs: a custom-built website with local SEO, a local landline with a text for every call, review requests, a directory profile with video and completed-job posts. Built and run on our own software.

What it’s for

Marketing for a trade business has three jobs.

Be found. When someone searches for the job you do, in the town where they live, your business needs to be one they can find, on Google and on AI search tools like ChatGPT.

Be chosen. Once they find you, they want to see that you’re real: your own photos of your work, your Google reviews, a local number and a face they can put to the name.

Never lose track of a call. You can’t answer with your hands full. You need to know someone rang, so you can ring them back.

It’s easy to end up with those pieces spread across different companies, or not done at all. We do all three in one membership, on software we built ourselves, so your website, directory profile, call tracking and review requests all connect.

What’s included

Everything in the membership, and the job each part does.

Each part does something different. Together they make your business easier to find, easier to choose and easier to get hold of.

Be found

A website built for your trade

Custom-coded by us, not a rented template, with a page for each service you do and the towns and areas you cover. More on our websites for tradesmen.

Be found

Local SEO, built in

Set up from day one so Google and AI search tools can understand what you do and where, and kept up every month. More on SEO for tradesmen.

Be chosen

A directory profile with video

A profile on trustmarktrades.com with an introductory video, so people see who they’re calling before they ring.

Be chosen

Reviews and completed jobs

Send review requests from your dashboard when a job’s done. Your completed jobs are posted to your website, and to Facebook when you authorise it.

Never miss a call

A text for every call

A local landline that forwards to your mobile. Every time it rings, you get a text. More on call tracking for tradespeople.

How the platform works

Your brand, not ours

Your own name, your own reviews, your own enquiries.

Some marketing for tradesmen means paying for a share of enquiries on somebody else’s platform, where the same job goes to several firms. We don’t sell leads.

Your website carries your brand. The reviews you collect are your Google reviews. Every call and enquiry from your website, your directory profile and your Facebook page is yours, and we never sell or share them.

Weighing the two up? Our guide to shared leads vs your own website sets out the difference.

Real example

Sussex Brown Sparks: one electrical business, all of it working together.

Harry runs Sussex Brown Sparks, an electrical business based in Littlehampton, West Sussex. His website has a page for each of his 12 services in each of the 21 towns and areas he covers. His local landline is on every page, his calls are logged in his members dashboard, and his Trustmark Trades directory profile sits alongside.

  • 271 pages on his site
  • 12 services, each with its own pages
  • 21 towns and areas covered
  • 21 calls for jobs generated from his website in 28 days

The call figure is from our own call tracking. It’s Harry’s result, not a promise of yours. Every trade and area is different.

No small print

What we won’t promise.

How quickly marketing works depends on your trade, your area and where you’re starting from. Trades who already have a Google Business Profile and some Google reviews usually have a head start. If you’re starting from nothing, you’ll need to set those up first, and we help you with both.

  • Rankings, calls or sales. Nobody honest can guarantee them.
  • Posting to your Google Business Profile. We post to your website, and to Facebook when you authorise it.
  • Selling or sharing your enquiries. They’re yours.
  • A quick fix. A proper local presence takes time to build.

By trade

Marketing built around how your customers search.

We work with 170+ trade businesses across the UK. Every trade gets pages written for its own jobs and the way its customers search, not one template with the trade name swapped.

Do you post to my Google Business Profile?

How long does it take to get going?

Your website is built in under 7 days once we have everything we need: your services, the towns and areas you cover, your logo if you have one, and some photos of your work.

Do you guarantee rankings or calls?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We build it properly, keep it up every month and show you exactly what comes in.

Is there a contract?

No. It’s month to month from day one. Cancel any time.
