Analytics cookies, nothing else. Your call.
Someone types « plumber » and their town. They look at three results and call the one that looks solid and covers their area. Your whole site hangs on those fifteen seconds, not on a catalogue of your skills.
The first thing anyone checks is whether you travel to them. Towns are named rather than summed up as « Toulouse and surroundings », and they are carried into the structured data Google reads to place you in the map results.
A phone photo from a real job convinces more than anything you can buy. It proves you exist and that the work is clean. Three or four is enough, and I optimize them so they appear instantly over mobile data.
Your customer is on a phone, often in a hurry. The number is callable with one tap from anywhere on the page, with nothing to copy out. A form is there too, for the ones who would rather write in the evening.
The first fits on one page: trade, work, area, form. The second shows how to present numbers and guarantees when the quote is a serious one.
See the samplesThese are not mockups. Two freelance missions delivered for real clients, in trades other than yours: the work is the same, and the case studies are complete.
Setup covers design and delivery. The monthly fee covers hosting, the domain name, the certificate, backups, security updates and routine edits. One line on your statement, not five.
That is true of most tradespeople I work with, and it does not block anything. A phone photo, framed straight and taken in daylight, does the job. I tell you what to photograph and from what angle, and I handle the cropping and retouching. The site can also start with no photos and take them on as jobs come in.
Word of mouth brings your name, not the decision. Someone who has been given your name will look you up before calling, and what they find decides whether they dial. Finding nothing, or finding a page from 2014, costs you calls you will never know about. The site does not replace word of mouth, it converts it.
Those work, and they bill you per contact while putting you in a price race against four other tradespeople. A site costs €59/month regardless of how many calls it brings, and the customer who finds you that way is not comparing three quotes at once. The two can coexist, but the second source does not take a cut.
Not on its own, and I will not promise you miracles. What a site reliably does: make you findable in local search, reassure the people who were given your name, and stop you losing the call from someone who hesitated. First results on local search usually show within two to three months. If you need an immediate return, you have to add advertising, and I will say so rather than sell the site as a complete answer.
Based in Toulouse, I work with plumbers, electricians, joiners, builders and landscapers across the region. Evening meetings or video calls if the days are full.
30 minutes to scope your project and leave with an honest recommendation, even if it’s not me.
