Work

Gone rather quiet last 4 months only decent month was weirdly January .
Got enough work to get by but would prefer it to be busier .
Trying to come up with ideas to drum up work .

Thing is two routes of advertising i use have both changed and it has defo had an impact on my work.

Thinking about paying SEO so any good or not??

What sort of work do you do?
New build.
Bathrooms.
Maintainance.
Servicing?

Maintainance, repairs and servicing need advertising. New build and bathrooms come mostly from word of mouth and contacts.

I get most of my work from Gumtree believe it or not.
With link throughs to website.
8 quid for 4 weeks.

Give it a go

I have never tried SEO as I haven't ever got round to sorting a website. Pretty much all my work comes from recommendations now. Where are you currently advertising?

I use checkatrade mainly and have decent reviews but lots more have joined last few months.
I use to get lots of work from streetlife but the site has changed.
Most of my work is maintenance now

I found January & February very quiet. Had enough odds & ends to do but very few enquires for bigger jobs.
It's starting to get a bit busier now though.

I have a good website (well the customers think so), it generates most of my work, it is strange how SEO seems to work, I can go a week where no one calls and then suddenly google puts it on the first page and I get a string of calls, then nothing again.

Yes i find a similar thing.
I keep an eye on the rankings via googlesearchconsole and the graph is all over. Content hardly changes but position varies.
Having a mobile friendly site helped..
