web site bringing no business

[hammers4spanner]

Croft your powerflushing picture looks like you scooped that out of a drain lol

good site tho

Sorry just noticed you do have the contact form on your main page. The fact I missed it shows that it's not that effective imo. People have to scroll down to see it and if you're lazy like me you won't.

Sorry to keep posting. Stan, is your company a Ltd company? I seem to remember somewhere that it was. If it is, it's a legal requirement to post your company registration number and registered address on each page of your website. Look at the footer on mine.

Thank you for all your comments . It does actually help me to understand why I am not getting any business . It's difficult when you don't know any one to help you out and keep bumping to web designers and SEO experts that don't know all this key things .

The other thing is that if your domain name is less than 1 year old Google thinks your website is spam. After it's 1 year old you will see a leap in the search results and the amount of calls you get.

Domain name age is still one of the most important criteria for ranking highly on Google.

Also, try and get a few customer reviews on Google Places. One you have 10 or more you seem to get a good boost in search rankings too.

And finally, £55 a month is a shedload of money to keep paying out for a website. Is he doing any work for you on an ongoing basis for that?

To give you an idea, mine costs me around £20 per year for the domain name and hosting.

Have you moved around alot stan???

I lived in London (Ruislip ) for the last 8 years , but did not want to pay anymore £1250 rent for the 3 bed house so we decided to move out + London" was to much " This year in March we moved to a village outside Northampton .
I have been in uk for only 13years and over all I have been in the tread for 4 years .

i would give it more time people need to see your van around see your face etc etc , i said in earlier post everybody knows a plumber so when people get to know you i reckon you'l get more work .

need to walk before you can run , i dont advertise but have tried in the past and never worked out for me but the area i live is saturated with plumbs and gsr .Bet it will take a year or so before work load picks up

stan i think your time and money would be better spent learning a little web design. it's inexpensive anmd you can steal idea's sorry i'll rephrase that gain inspiration from other websites. its not as hard as you think with a web editor and a little research on seo.

Stan, if I search "Plumber Northampton" I get this:



I can't see your website there. Maybe that's part of the problem?

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

Doesnt sound like Andy from ACRC to me, can you pass me his number please mate

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Lee you getting any calls from the one he did for you ?

 

[Ermintrude]

Feed back helps us all. I would possibly move ur phone number to 1/3 down on rhs. Brits read left to right. By default miss top left 1/3 when skimming a page. First thing u focus on is the woman on sofa.... Ur number wants to be below that?

I really don't think so no, the site I built myself is above the one he done and always has been, yet he reckons the site gets loads of hits everyday! Lol

Yes I use acre, took 8 months to get up there, but I am up there. I pay 35 as I did the website myself, also I have separate pages for every village, Stan talk to Andrew about google maps and google Adwords as you may want some instant results whilst your website is getting going. Also rated people, don't pay them money, I got signed up and received calls from people even though I didn't bid for job. Will take a while as Northampton is huge but keep at it, results will be worth it.
