Websites, local SEO and social media for trades businesses

Every job you complete can help you win the next one.

You do good work. We help more people find it.

We'll build your website, help customers find you on Google and keep your social media up to date.

And we'll do it using photographs, videos and stories from the work you actually do, so potential customers can see who you are and what you're capable of.

One job. Plenty to talk about.

See what we can do with a job you've already finished.

A few photographs, a short video or a voice note can give us plenty to work with.

Choose a trade to see how material from an ordinary job could be used across your website, Google and social media.

Social media post

These are examples of what we might create from a job. We decide which material is worth developing and where it will be most useful. Not every job needs to become three separate pieces of content.

The idea is simple

People want to know who they're letting through the door.

Imagine someone searching for a plumber in your area.

They'll probably find several businesses offering much the same services. Some will have impressive websites, but very little to show who's actually going to turn up.

Now imagine they find yours.

They can see photographs of work you've completed nearby. There's a short video of you explaining a repair. They can read what customers think of your work and find your Facebook page, where you've been sharing recent jobs.

They've got a much better idea of who they're dealing with before they pick up the phone.

That's what we want to help you build.

You do the work. We'll help tell people about it.

Step 01: Capture

Take a few photographs. Tell us what happened.

When you've finished a job, grab a few pictures. If there's something worth showing, shoot a short video. And if you've got thirty seconds, send us a voice note explaining what you did.

You don't need to prepare anything clever.

Step 02: Create

We'll turn it into something useful.

We'll go through what you've sent, ask questions where we need to, and decide how best to use it.

A job might become a social post, a short video, an example on your website or useful information for somebody searching for that service.

Step 03: Build

Over time, it all adds up.

Month after month, we'll build a library of photographs, videos and stories about your business.

We'll learn more about the jobs you do, the work you want more of and the things that make your business worth choosing.

Your work is the best starting point

Show people what you actually do.

A national company can build a smart-looking landing page for almost any town in Britain.

But if you're a local tradesperson, you've got something useful to show that a generic page often can't.

Your face. Your team. Your van. And photographs of jobs you've completed just down the road.

We want to make those things easy to find.

Real photographs and videos from your work.
Useful explanations in your own words.
A consistent presence across your website, Google and social media.

Move the slider to compare a generic service page with one built around a real job.

One joined-up service

Your website, Google and social media should work together.

We'll look after the places customers are likely to find you, using what we learn about your business to keep the information useful, consistent and up to date.

Websites

A professional website that explains what you do, where you work and how customers can get in touch.

We'll write the content, organise your services properly and make sure it works well on mobile phones.

We'll also keep improving it as we collect more examples of your work.

Local SEO

When someone searches for the services you offer in your area, we want to give your business the best possible chance of being found.

We'll work on your website, Google Business Profile and local content to help the right customers find you.

Month after month

A growing library of your own work.

A website can be built in a few weeks. A collection of real jobs, photographs, explanations and videos takes time.

That's why we'd like you to get into the habit of sending us something from the work you complete.

We'll keep the material organised, develop the strongest stories and gradually build a more complete picture of your business.

After twelve months, you'll have much more to show potential customers than you did when we started.

Straightforward pricing

A year's worth of building something that's yours.

We'll build your website, look after your local visibility and keep your social media moving.

Along the way, we'll build a bank of photographs, videos and stories showing what your business can do.

After twelve months, the website is yours to take wherever you like. And the content we create from your work is yours to keep.

12-month initial agreement. Once your invoices are paid, the website and everything we create for it belong to you. At the end of the agreement you can move your site to any hosting provider you like, with no fees or penalties from Deep Blue Direct.

When you're ready for more

Make more of the work we've already collected.

As your content library grows, there may be opportunities to use it in other ways.

We can help with those too, when there's a good reason to.

Paid social advertising

Put your best work in front of more people with properly managed advertising campaigns.

Email newsletters

Keep in touch with previous customers using useful advice, recent work and relevant reminders.

Advanced social media

More video, more frequent publishing and larger campaigns when your business is ready for them.

These services are optional and quoted separately. You don't need them to get started.

Questions people ask first.

We'd like you to send us photographs, short videos or voice notes from the jobs you complete.

You don't need to become a content creator. Just show us what you've done and tell us a little about it.

We'll organise the material, ask questions where necessary and decide what is worth publishing.

Your monthly fee covers building your website as well as creating your ongoing marketing, so the website is paid for across the twelve monthly payments. Once the final payment is made, it's yours outright. You can move it to any hosting provider you like, with no fees or penalties from Deep Blue Direct. If you ever need to leave early, you can settle the remaining payments and take it with you.

The photographs and videos you supply are always yours. The content we create for you each month is yours to keep once that month's invoice is paid, even if you leave early.

Your website, hosting, routine maintenance, local SEO, Google Business Profile support, regular social media content, ongoing content improvements and a monthly progress review.

We'll agree the exact production scope before work begins.

Paid advertising, advertising spend and additional services are quoted separately.

The initial agreement is twelve months.

That gives us time to build your website, establish your online presence and develop a useful library of content from your work.

Yes. We can also help with paid social advertising, email newsletters and more extensive social media campaigns.

We'll discuss those separately if they make sense for your business.

Let's get started

Let's show people the work you're proud of.

Tell us what your business does, where you work and what sort of jobs you'd like more of.

We'll have a conversation about what you're doing now, where you'd like to get to and whether Deep Blue is a good fit.
