What's included
What the work involves
Service area setup
Most trades work from home or a yard. We configure your Business Profile as a service area business so you rank across the towns you cover without displaying an address.
A page per job type
Boiler repair, rewiring and roof repair are separate searches with separate buyers. Each gets its own page with clear pricing guidance where you can give it.
Reviews after every job
A text asking for a review the day the job is finished is the most effective habit a trade business can build. Our platform automates it.
Trade directory profiles
Checkatrade, TrustATrader, MyBuilder and Rated People profiles kept complete and consistent, since buyers and search engines both check them.
Emergency searches
Urgent searches such as emergency plumber near me behave differently. We make sure your profile and site are ready for them, including opening hours.
How it runs
01
Audit
A review of your Google Business Profile, your ranking across the postcodes you cover, and your presence on Checkatrade, TrustATrader and MyBuilder.
02
Plan
A written plan setting out the order of work, what each stage costs and the numbers we will report against. You keep it whether or not you hire us.
03
Build
The foundations first: technical fixes, structured data, content and review collection, shipped in weekly increments rather than one large reveal.
04
Compound
Monthly reporting on rankings, AI citations, enquiries and revenue, with the plan adjusted each quarter against what is actually working.
Why GoReview
Why businesses choose us
We own the reputation layer
Our own review platform is used by more than 2,500 businesses and has collected over 60,000 reviews. Review signals feed rankings, AI citations and paid conversion, so we do not have to resell somebody else’s tool.
AI search and classic search together
We optimise for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews alongside traditional rankings, because buyers now move between all of them.
One team, UK hours
Search, content, social, paid and reputation sit with the same Manchester based team, so channels reinforce each other and you have a named contact who answers the phone.
Reporting on enquiries
We report on calls, forms and revenue, not just traffic. If a channel is not producing enquiries at a sensible cost, we say so and move the budget.
Trades and Contractors FAQ
Do I need to pay for lead sites if I do SEO?
Many trades use both at first. As your own rankings and reviews grow, most rely less on paid lead sites, which keeps more of each job’s margin with you.
Can I rank without a business address?
Yes. Service area businesses can rank in the map pack while keeping their address hidden.
Which review site matters most?
Google first, because it drives the map pack. Checkatrade or TrustATrader matter too, depending on your trade and area.
How quickly will I get more calls?
Profile and review improvements often show within six to ten weeks.
