web site bringing no business

[julesverne]

on your first page you have this free check i think people get suspicious of free stuff being offered or see it as a gimmick or a catch with you looking to get more work from them. just a thought.

Some will most wont. I genuinely think most people just get your number and ring, most of mine don't even know company name IMO

Me too. I think I very simple but effective thing is a local landline number and the words "free quotes, no call out charge"

That must take min of 2 months to install

Wont get that timescale on a public building like a library 4 weeks i had from rip out to commission just got on with it in all honesty not sure itb was worth it as had little jobs that was bringing in a steady wage
was stressfull

I got recommended a guy here 8 months ago, I am now number 1 on google maps for plumber aylesbury, aylesbury plumber, plumber in aylesbury, plumbers aylesbury. 2-3 calls a day. £35 a month. Best money I ever spent I have 4 weeks spare between now and Xmas. I am sure it will be filled up by end of October. But 50 per cent of my work is word of mouth. But I still have 50 per cent new customers which is essential to being busy

 

[SafeGasInstall]

We'll done Jase . Are you using same man Andrew Acr services ? ( must be )

I think is something to do with this Northampton City for some reason , honestly only one call and had £40 and one more where some one asked how much to install new kitchen mixer taps told him £60 all in ( he never come back )

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I pay £55 per month and keep hoping business will start rolling , but nothing

so I am going back and updating this week my London site as to start bringing me some new customers

Thing is stan where i live evryone knows a plumber maybe its same up norf???

 

[TomLane]

Sorry to hijack your thread Stan, but I'm thinking of setting up a website soon & saw your thread.

What's this google business thing being mentioned?

Was your site built by the guy recommended on here Stan? Do you mind me asking what you pay & are you happy with the site? (Apart from the lack of business it's generating so far of course)

 

[hammers4spanner]

Stan have just googled plumber northampton and gas engineer northampton and you have not come up on either over first five pages .

How come you think your number one on the search list??
