About Built for Local
Local Search Growth for Tradesmen
Built for Local exists for one reason:
👉 To help tradesmen generate consistent enquiries from Google, without relying on lead sellers, directories, or unpredictable referrals.
We don’t try to be a general marketing agency.
And we don’t work across every industry.
We specialise in local, service-based trades where Google Maps, local search and AI visibility directly drive booked work.
What Makes Built for Local Different
Most SEO agencies sell tasks.
We run a structured local growth system.
That system is designed to answer one question Google keeps asking:
“Who should we recommend for this service, in this town, right now?”
If Google can’t clearly understand:
- What you do
- Where you want to win work
- Why you’re trusted locally
It won’t send you enquiries, even if your workmanship is excellent.
Our job is to remove that confusion.
Built From Real-World Testing (Not Theory)
Built for Local wasn’t created from theory or online courses.
It was built from testing structured local visibility systems designed to generate enquiries from people actively searching on Google, who had never heard of the business before.
The system focuses on:
- Service × location clarity
- Google Maps optimisation
- Structured website foundations
- Authority and trust signals
- AI search readiness
Once that structure proved consistent, Built for Local was created to replicate it across multiple trades, town by town.
Not industry by industry.
Who We Work With (And Why)
We work with businesses that:
- Serve local homeowners or commercial clients
- Rely on Google Maps and local search to win work
- Offer skilled, service-based work
- Want predictable enquiry flow, not random leads
That typically includes:
- Builders & construction companies
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Roofers
- HVAC companies
- Pest control services
- Cleaners & exterior cleaning businesses
- Carpenters & joiners
- Window & door installers
- And other service-based trades
We deliberately do not work with ecommerce brands, national franchises or unrelated industries.
Specialisation improves results.
One Business Per Primary Town
We operate primary-town exclusivity.
That means:
- One core client per main town
- Surrounding suburbs included
- No competing clients in the same area
If we help you dominate an area, we won’t help your direct competitor do the same.
This keeps incentives aligned and results protected.
How We Work
Every engagement begins with a free visibility audit.
The audit shows:
- How you currently appear on Google Maps and local search
- Where enquiries are being lost
- What competitors are doing better
- Which services and towns to prioritise
- Whether your area is available
From there, we recommend the right starting point, whether that’s Foundation, Starter, Professional or the Built for Local Growth System.
No pressure.
No lock-ins.
Just clarity.
