How Trades Can Get Found Online Without the Tech Talk
Running a trade business keeps you busy. Most of the time you’re out on jobs, quoting for new work, and sorting customers. The last thing you want is to waste hours trying to figure out how to get your business seen online.
That’s where I step in.
I’m Pete from Metric Tide. I help local trades like builders, landscapers, electricians and roofers get noticed online in simple, practical ways that actually work. No jargon, no endless meetings, and no big agency fees. Just straight-up help that gets you more of the right enquiries.
Here’s what that looks like.
1. Show up when people search
When someone nearby searches for what you do, you want your business to appear first. That starts with a proper Google Business Profile good photos, real reviews, and the right service areas. Most trades miss small details that make a big difference. Once it’s set up properly, it can easily double your local calls.
2. Look the part online
You don’t need a flashy website. You just need one that’s clear, trustworthy, and easy to use. A few good photos, what you do, where you work, and how to get in touch. I help trades build or tidy up simple websites that do exactly that — nothing complicated, just what works.
3. Keep things real
People like to see real work. A few before-and-after photos, a short post about a job you’ve just finished, or even a customer story builds trust faster than any advert. You don’t have to post every day. You just need to show what you do best from time to time.
4. Keep the work coming
Once your base is right, Google, website, and social, we can build on it with ads, blog content, or automation to keep a steady flow of new leads. It’s all about building something that works quietly in the background while you get on with the job.
I’ve helped local trades across Sussex grow their online presence and get more work coming in, without the stress of trying to learn marketing. If that sounds like something you’d like to sort out, drop me a message or take a look at what I do at metrictide.co.uk
