How customers find you
How people search for groundworkers.
Groundworks customers are builders, developers and homeowners with a project. They search for the job, the place and someone with the plant and experience to do it properly.
Your site needs a proper page that answers each of those. That’s what we build.
- groundworks contractors [your town]
- foundations for extension [your town]
- drainage and groundworks
- site preparation [your area]
- driveway groundworks
- retaining walls [your town]
- groundworks for new build
The work
What groundworks work really looks like.
Work mix
Urgent or planned
Planned work, often tied to a wider build, so contractors are compared on experience and reliability.
Typical jobs
Job value
High-value jobs: foundations, drainage runs, site preparation and hard landscaping all add up quickly.
Rhythm
What drives demand
Work follows building projects in your area. Being found early, while plans are drawn up, gets you onto the job.
What customers check
Builders and homeowners look for plant, past projects, insurance, CSCS cards and reviews from other builders and clients.
The maths
One job can cover years of membership.
Groundworks jobs are rarely small. One set of foundations or a drainage run can be worth more than a year of membership at £3,588 + VAT, and bigger site work much more.
We won’t quote job values we can’t back up. You know your own: do the sum against a year with us.
The pages
The pages a groundworks site needs.
We don’t use one template for every trade. These are the pages that matter for yours, written for your services and the towns and areas you cover.
- A page for each service: foundations, drainage, site clearance, retaining walls, driveways, basements
- Project pages with photos and the town they were in
- A page for builders and developers
- Pages for the towns and areas you cover
What gets in the way
The problems most groundworkers run into.
Known only by word of mouth
Plenty of groundworkers live on referrals. A proper site gets you in front of builders and homeowners who don’t know you yet.
One page for everything
Foundations, drainage and retaining walls are different searches. We build a page for each.
Calls from site
You’re in a digger when the phone rings. A text for every call means none slip past.

Jerry Connors, Google review
Page and town counts are from our own recent check of each live site. Reviews are from our Google profile, trimmed for length. Call figures are real results, not a promise. Every business is different.
Where it’s easier
Less competition than you’d think, especially outside the cities.
Groundworks is a big-ticket trade with very few firms marketing themselves properly online. Many rely on word of mouth, so a well-built site with real projects stands out.
In a big city, dozens of groundworkers compete for the same searches. In smaller towns and villages there are usually far fewer firms with a proper page for that place, so a well-built page has less to beat. That’s why we build pages for the towns and areas you actually cover, not just the nearest city.
It’s not a guarantee. It’s where a proper local site tends to have the best chance. Competition varies by trade and area, and we’ll tell you honestly what yours looks like on the call.

What to expect
Honest about how quickly it works.
Where you’re starting from matters more than anything we do. We’ll tell you on the free call which of these sounds like you.
Head start
You’ve already got a Google Business Profile and reviews
Trades who already have a Google Business Profile, some Google reviews and usually an existing website tend to get calls quicker with what we do. You’ve got a head start, and we build on it.
Fresh start
You’re starting from nothing
That’s fine, it just takes longer. You’ll need to set up your Google Business Profile and start getting reviews first. We help you with both, and your members dashboard makes asking for reviews easy.
Who we’re for
Built for serious trade businesses.
We work best with established firms that want their own brand and long-term work. If that’s not you, we’d rather say so now.
A good fit

- You want your own Google reviews and a professional site that’s built to last.
- You take calls seriously and ring people back.
- You’re thinking about steady, long-term work, not just next week.
Not a fit
- You want cheap or shared leads. We don’t sell leads, and your enquiries are never shared.
- You want a quick fix. A proper local presence takes time to build.
- You want guaranteed results. Nobody honest can promise rankings or calls.
- You need a big online shop. We build websites for local trade businesses.
