Free visibility snapshot
No charge and no obligation. We look at what a customer searching for your trade in your area finds today, and talk you through it. By hand, in about twenty minutes, not by a machine. We are in touch within 2 business days, talk you through it on a short call within 5, and send the written snapshot afterwards.
What we check
Five things, using public information and free tools. The same five every time, so nothing gets skipped because it was inconvenient.
Your Google listing
Whether it is claimed, complete and current. Hours, services, photos, and when it was last posted to.
Your reviews
How many, how recent, what rating, and whether anyone replies to them.
Your website
Whether it works on a phone, whether your number is easy to find, and whether it says where you cover.
Your social
Which accounts exist, and when each was last posted to.
An AI assistant
We ask ChatGPT who is a good one of your trade in your town, the way a customer would, and note whether it names you.
We also look at three local businesses competing for the same searches, on the same measures, so you can see where you actually sit rather than just how you look on your own.

One thing worth fixing this month
Check that the main category on your Google listing is your trade, and add any other trades you genuinely do.
What we would do about it
- Get the review requests running. A request to every customer, after every job, the same way each time.
- A website that works on a phone and lists your services and the towns you cover.
- Get the Google listing active again, with posts from your own jobs every month.
We would not start with paid advertising here. On these numbers, the website, listing and reviews come first, and they are what ads would depend on.
A real snapshot also shows the search as you would see it on your phone, with your business ringed, and the limits of the check, as set out below.
Ask for your snapshot
For plumbing, heating and electrical businesses in Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and London. Not sure you fit? Read who this is for first, it takes a minute.
What happens after you send it
- We confirm we have it
An email straight away, so you know it arrived and who has it. We are in touch within 2 business days to arrange a short call, and we tell you then whether your town is open for your trade.
- Someone runs the check by hand
About twenty minutes on your business, not a report generated by a tool.
- We talk you through it
A short call within 5 business days of your request, then the written snapshot afterwards, so the conversation is not you reading a document at us.
There is no automatic follow-up sequence after that, and no countdown. If you go quiet, we leave it.
What this does not tell you
Here are the limits so you know exactly what you are getting.
- This is a surface check, not a full search audit. It takes about twenty minutes.
- It does not measure how many people actually call you, or where those calls come from.
- It does not tell you what your competitors spend, or why they rank where they do.
- Review counts and rankings move. These are the numbers on the day we checked, not a permanent picture.
- It asks one AI assistant one question. Ask again, or ask a different assistant, and the answer can change.
There is no forecast in it either. It describes where you are today and names the work, and it does not predict what would happen if you did any of it.
If any figure in it looks wrong when you read it, tell us. We would rather correct it than defend it.
Who this is for
Worth asking for one
- Plumbers, heating engineers and electricians
- Working in Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex or London
- Trading three years or more
- Turning over more than the VAT threshold
- You want the business to be bigger, or you want better work than you are getting now
- You already have a Google listing, even a neglected one
- You are willing to have a short conversation about what we find
We will tell you if it is not
- Other trades, for now. We work with two on purpose
- You are happy at the size you are, with the work you already get. There is nothing wrong with that. It does mean there is nothing here worth buying
- Businesses with no trading history to check yet
- Anyone only wanting paid advertising managed, or custom software
We take one business in each trade in each town. That gives us the time to get to know you and your business, and we would rather work closely with a few strong, growing businesses than process every one that asks.
Being busy is not a reason to skip this. Some of the businesses we would most want to work with are turning work away. What they want is not more enquiries: it is a better mix of jobs, the standing to charge properly for them, and a business that looks like somewhere a good engineer would want to work. That is a different job, and we would sell you something different for it.
If you are outside any of this, say so anyway and we will tell you whether it is worth doing. We would rather decline than run something empty.
If the answer is that you could do this yourself
Then we recommend you do it yourself, and you are welcome to keep the list. It is the same one we would work through, and some of it is a morning’s job if you are comfortable with a Google listing.
If you would rather hand it over, we are here for that, and we will not sell you more than you need.
- Thank you
- That has come through. Here is what happens now.
