Trades › East Sussex

Be the trade people find in East Sussex

Before you pay for more leads or advertising, find out whether the website you already own could be doing more.

I help builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, decorators and other trades across East Sussex, including Brighton and Hove, turn the website they already have into one that brings in enquiries. It's all done remotely.

A website doesn't need to be new to work. It needs to be clear about what you do, where, and how to get hold of you.

I'll look at how Google, Bing and AI tools see your website, and tell you the 2–3 things most likely to be costing you work.

How people in East Sussex look for a trade

A busy city, a long coastline and the High Weald, all searched differently.

plumber Bexhill
builder Lewes
roofer Eastbourne
electrician Hove

Real searches look like these. Your website needs to give Google and AI tools something to match them to.

Brighton is crowded

In Brighton and Hove there are a lot of trades chasing the same searches. The ones that stand out name the areas they cover, like Kemptown, Hove or Portslade, and show real work, not stock photos.

Coast towns, one by one

Eastbourne, Bexhill, Hastings, Seaford and Newhaven are separate places to the people who live there. “We cover the south coast” won't match a search for “plumber Bexhill”.

The High Weald and the villages

Around Crowborough, Wadhurst, Heathfield and Mayfield, homes are older and more spread out, and people want someone who knows that kind of property. Say where you work and what you're good at.

Historic towns, careful customers

In Lewes, Rye and Battle, many buildings are listed or in conservation areas. Customers there often read up before they call, so a website that answers their questions gets the enquiry.

A trade business I built from nothing

It relied on word of mouth and had no real online presence. I built all of it myself: the website, the service and area pages, a large library of helpful guides, the technical setup and the routes to an enquiry.

It now gets consistent enquiries without paying for advertising.

What I look at for East Sussex trades

Real photos of your work

Whether your website shows jobs you’ve actually done, with captions that say what and where, rather than stock images.

Neighbourhood and town names

Whether your pages mention the places people really search for, from Hove and Kemptown to Bexhill and Uckfield.

Standing out in a busy area

How your website compares with the trades that show up above you, and the gaps that are easiest to close.

Reviews in the right places

Whether your reviews are somewhere Google and AI tools can see them, and whether your website points people to them.

AI answers

What ChatGPT, Copilot and Google’s AI answers say when someone asks for your trade near them.

Getting in touch

Whether calling or asking for a quote is obvious on every page, and whether messages reach you.

You probably don't need a new website

Most of what holds a website back can be fixed on the one you have. I'll tell you the 2–3 things that matter most. If they're worth fixing, I'll say what it would cost. You decide.

Website Clarity is just me, so I only take on a couple of implementation projects at a time.

How to rank higher on Google Maps

Three things to check on your website this week

Count your stock photos

Look at every photo on your website. How many are jobs you actually did? Real photos, with a line saying where, build more trust than any stock image.

Ask an AI tool about yourself

Ask ChatGPT or Copilot “who’s a good [your trade] in [your town]?”. See whether you come up, and what it says about you if you do.

Check your page titles

Search your business name on Google. The blue link is your page title. Does it say what you do and where, or just your company name?

Check your website

If you're not sure whether your website is actually helping bring in work, I'll take a look.

This isn't an instant automated score. I'll run the checks, review what comes back and send you the 2–3 things I'd tackle first. Usually within 2–3 working days.

Questions from East Sussex trades

There are so many trades in Brighton. Is it worth trying?

I can't promise results. But most trade websites have the same gaps, so fixing yours can change how you compare.

The free check shows you where you stand before you spend anything.

I only use stock photos. Does it matter?

It can. Photos of your own work show people what you actually do, and give Google and AI tools more to go on.

Even a few real photos from your phone, with a sentence about each job, help.

Should I mention Brighton if I’m based in Lewes or Newhaven?

Yes, if you want work there. Name the places you actually cover, whichever side of the city boundary they're on.

People search by town, not by council.

What do you need from me for the free check?

Just your name, your website and your email. No login, no access, no card and no call.

I check it myself and email you the 2–3 things that matter most.
