Are you a solo handyman covering your local town and the surrounding area? Are you a specialist working in one area of a large city?

Public Relations covers a lot of ground. It’s not just column inches in a paper or magazine. Though, depending on where you’re based, that might well prove to be a cost-effective way to promote your business! PR is also necessary to gain the support you need online.

A little like the base coat you’d put down before painting a wall, you need your website to be absolutely ready before you start funnelling clients towards it.

In short, it needs to make it easy for your potential clients to book with you. We’ve made a great many handyman websites, designing and building them from the ground up.
The SEO for handyman companies which has proven to get the best results – especially in term of trust and long-term benefits – is organic.

It’s all done to demonstrate to Google and anyone viewing your website that you are an active and energetic presence in both the real and digital world.
Facebook and other social media platforms make a great place to source new clients for all kinds of property improvement and maintenance companies. The recommendation feature, in particular, has made it easy for people to suggest you to their friends. It’s word of mouth on a whole different level! Plus, of course, there are social media ads, which also have their time and place.
