Website Design & Marketing Systems For Tradesmen

No fluff, marketing isn't rocket science. No agency (ours included) has a magic button. We build your website and the tools that reply to every missed call, text and form, and you commit to using them.

A Website Built For Your Trade

A proper website that turns visitors into calls and messages, straight to your phone.

Actually Get Found Online

If a customer googles you and can't find you, that's awkward. Every service and every town you cover gets its own clear page.

Show Off Your Real Reviews

Your Google reviews sit right on the site, so new customers see what past customers said.

Mobile Friendly

Most local searches happen on a phone. Your site loads fast and every page has click-to-call.

Built For Local Google Searches

Titles, headings, speed and structure set up for searches like "plumber in Leeds" or "roofer near me".

Demo: a customer rates the job and leaves a 5-star Google review

5-Star Review Funnel

"Course, I'll leave you a review, mate"... then life happens. We remind them every week until they actually do it.

Ask For Reviews In One Tap

Job done? Send a review request from your phone before you've even packed the van.

Happy Customers Go Straight To Google

Your customer taps a star rating. 5 stars go straight to your Google review page. Anything less comes to you privately, so you can put it right.

Automatic Follow-Up Reminders

People forget. If they haven't left a review yet, a friendly reminder goes out every week, up to 4 times, until they do.

Reply From One Place

See new reviews and reply to them from the same app as your calls and messages.

Demo: a missed call gets an automatic text back

Missed Call Text Back

Everyone misses calls on the tools. Not everyone texts back. Be the one who does.

Stand Out From The Competition

Most trades let missed calls go to voicemail. You start a conversation instead.

No More Lost Jobs

Up a ladder or under a sink? The caller gets a text from your business number within seconds.

A UK Mobile Number For Texts

We set you up with a UK mobile number for texts and calls, or link the number you already use.

Covered Evenings And Weekends

Calls that come in at night or at the weekend still get an instant reply, even while you sleep.

Demo: a marketing campaign launched in one click

One-Click Marketing Campaigns

Referrals and repeat customers are the best kind of work. Let's get you more of both.

Done For You

Ready-made campaigns are set up in your account. Add a customer, tap launch, and the texts go out from your business number.

Referral Campaigns

Happy customers are your best salespeople. A friendly text asks them to pass your name on to friends and neighbours.

Win Back Past Customers

Haven't heard from someone in a while? A quick check-in brings repeat jobs back without you chasing anyone.

Seasonal Reminders

Boiler services, gutter clearing, roof checks before winter: remind customers before the busy season starts.

Local Search & Google Ads

"Number one on Google next week!" Not from us. Local search takes time, so we set it up properly from day one.

Built For Local Search

Fast pages for your services and towns, linked to your Google Business Profile.

Optional Google Ads

Want enquiries sooner? We can run ads for the searches that matter to your business.

Follow-Up On Every Lead

Every enquiry gets an instant text and email, so you don't pay for clicks that go nowhere.

Stop renting your leads
from directories

Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Bark and the rest can bring in work. But the customer, the reviews and the next job belong to the platform. On 16 September 2026 Rated People closed every tradesperson membership overnight, and members lost the profile and reviews they had built there (source). Your own system doesn't vanish like that.

Directories & lead sitesYour own WebScaling system
Who owns the customer?The platform. Your profile and reviews live on their site.You. Every customer is saved in your own app.
Who else gets the job?Often several trades are sent the same enquiry.Enquiries from your website and number come only to you.
How you payMonthly membership, per lead or per shortlist, depending on the site.One flat price: £79/month.
Your reviewsCollected on the platform's own site.Sent to your Google Business Profile, where local customers look.
If the platform changes or closesYour listing, leads and reviews can disappear with it.Your website, number and customer list keep working.

You don't have to quit a directory to use WebScaling. Plenty of trades keep one listing and use their own website and number to win the work that comes to them directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a website for a tradesman cost with WebScaling?
One plan covers the website, hosting and the lead system: £79/month, or £790/year, which works out at 2 months free. Prices are in GBP. On the free demo call we look at what your business needs, with no obligation.
Is WebScaling a Checkatrade alternative?
Not exactly. Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Bark are directories: customers find you on their site. WebScaling gives you your own website, number and customer list, so the enquiries that come to you directly are yours. Some trades use both, some drop the directory once their own enquiries pick up. That's your call.
Rated People has closed. What should I do now?
Rated People closed every tradesperson membership on 16 September 2026, and nothing carried over. If it was a big source of work, now is a good time to build something you own: a website for your trade and towns, a Google Business Profile with steady reviews, and a quick reply to every call and enquiry. That is exactly what we set up.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. We can set you up with a UK mobile number for calls and texts, or link the number you already use. Missed calls get an instant text back, and every conversation lands in one app on your phone.
When am I going to start seeing results?
It depends on your area, your prices, your reviews and how quickly you respond, and on you actually using the system. We won't promise miracles. What the system does is make sure every enquiry is captured, answered and followed up, so fewer customers slip through the cracks.
Can people find my website on Google?
Every WebScaling site is built for local search: fast pages, clear titles and headings, a page for each service and town you cover, and a link to your Google Business Profile. Rankings depend on your competition, your reviews and how long the site has been live, so we never promise a position.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. We build and connect everything. Day to day you use one app to reply to customers, see new enquiries and send review requests.
Do you work with trades across the UK?
Yes. Everything is set up remotely: the demo call, the build and the launch call happen over video, so it works the same in Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast or Bristol.
