Areas we cover

Anywhere in the UK, one builder per town

We work with builders anywhere in the UK, and we work with one builder per town on the retainer. Both halves matter. The site, the Google Business Profile and the reviews do not need us to be in your town, so a builder in Aberdeen gets the same work as one in Wrexham. And because we will not push two firms for the same extension searches in the same place, your town is either free or it is not, and the reply to the quote form tells you which within one working day. This page explains what counts as your town, how the tiers set the protected area, and how to check yours.

Service-area businesses

A builder is a service-area business, and that decides what a town is

A shop has an address customers walk into. A builder has a van and a list of towns, and Google treats the two differently. A builder's Google Business Profile is a service-area business: the address is hidden, the pin is not on your house, and the profile carries a service area, the towns you take jobs in. The map pack for “extension builders” with a town is decided by that service area, the reviews, and the primary category, more than by the website.

So when we say one builder per town, the town is the one on your profile, plus the service area around it that we agree with you in writing in the audit reply. Not a postcode district, not a thirty-mile circle you would like to cover, and not a county. A real town and the places you actually drive to from it. That is what the tier protects, and it is written down before you pay anything, so there is nothing to argue about later.

The work itself is the same everywhere. The pages are written after a call with you, the profile is set up from your own account, and the reviews come from your customers. None of it needs us on site, which is why a builder in Cornwall and a builder in Cumbria get the same service from the same person in Wrexham. What changes from town to town is the competition, and the audit says how long a town is likely to take rather than charging more for it.

Three builders, three protected areas

How the tier draws the line

These are worked examples, not clients. They show how each tier defines the protected area; the real boundary is written in your audit reply.

Worked example: Local

A sole trader in one town

A builder with one van, working from home, whose Google Business Profile names one town and whose jobs are mostly within ten miles of it. On the Local tier the protected area is that town: the one on the profile, plus the service area we write down in the audit reply. A builder in the next town along is not blocked, and this builder is not blocked by one there. If two towns run into each other, the audit reply says which side of the line is protected before anyone pays.

Worked example: Growth

A firm working across four towns

A firm of six that takes extensions in its home town and three others nearby, with finished jobs in each. On the Growth tier the protected area is the home town plus the towns we build pages for, which are the towns with real projects to put on them. A town the firm would like to work in but has never worked in does not get a page and is not protected. The area is listed in the reply, town by town.

Worked example: Multi-location

Two yards, two counties

A firm with a yard in one county and a second base forty miles away in another, each with its own team and its own Google Business Profile. On the Multi-location tier each base is protected as its own town, with its own pages and its own profile. Neither base blocks a builder in the towns between them, and the reply sets out both areas separately.

How to check

Put the town on the form. The answer comes back in writing.

The quote form asks for your town. Within one working day you get an email that says whether the town is free, along with the audit of what you have now and the price of the package that fits, from the pricing page. If the town is free, it stays free until a builder starts the retainer, and that can be you. If it is taken, the email says so before you have spent a penny, and, with your permission, we keep your details so that if the town frees up you hear before anyone else. There is no list to scan and no phone call needed unless you want one.

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

One rule, four nations. The Google profile, the pages and the reviews work the same way in Belfast as in Bristol, and the retainer is the same price. Where the nations differ is planning and building control, and the pages for a builder in Scotland are written to Scottish building warrants and Scottish planning, not to the English rules with the country swapped. That is part of the call at the start, not an extra.

Wrexham is where the phone is answered and where the sites are built. The towns are wherever the builders are.

The list we do not publish

Why there is no map of taken towns on this page

A map with towns coloured red and green would be the obvious thing to put here, and we have not put it here for two reasons. A red town names a client, or comes close enough that a competitor could work it out, and our clients did not sign up to be pointed at. And a list goes stale: a town that was taken in March is free in September when a builder moves on, and a builder who read the list in March never asks. The reply to the quote form is current on the day you ask, and it is private.

What we can say in public is the rule. One builder per town on the retainer, the town defined in writing, the first to start keeps it, and the second is told before they spend anything.

What the town gets

The work behind the rule

Holding a town means doing the work that wins it: the service-area profile set up properly, the job pages with the town in them and real projects from there, reviews asked for at every handover, and the numbers read every month. The map pack half of that is described on the local SEO page, the prices and the tiers are on the pricing page, and the reasons a builder might choose us over an agency, with the limits, are on the why us page.

Questions about towns and areas

Is my town free right now?

Put it on the quote form and the reply within one working day tells you, in writing. We do not publish the list of taken towns, because the list would name clients, and we do not hold towns on a promise, because that would let one builder block a town for nothing.

Does buying a website take the town?

No. A website build on its own is yours to keep whatever you do next, and it does not take the town. The retainer takes the town, because the monthly work is what would clash with another builder chasing the same searches. Every website package includes the first month of the retainer free, and the town is yours from the day the retainer starts.

What if my town is taken but the next one is free?

The reply says so and quotes for the town that is free, if it is one you genuinely work in with jobs to show. Nobody is sold a page set for a town that is already spoken for, and nobody is sold a town they do not really work in either.

Do you work in Scotland and Northern Ireland?

Yes. The work is the site, the profile and the reviews, none of which need us in your town, and the rule is the same everywhere: one builder per town on the retainer. Wrexham is where the phone is answered; the towns are wherever the builders are.
