Why I Started My Trade Marketing
I've spent more than 20 years helping businesses grow. I've worked with organisations turning over millions of pounds, but I realised the businesses that often need the most help are the local builders, plumbers, electricians and tradespeople who don't have huge marketing budgets.
Hi, I'm Simon, founder of My Trade Marketing.
For more than two decades, I've worked in marketing, helping businesses of all sizes build their brands, generate leads and grow. From national technology companies to small independent businesses, I've seen first-hand what good marketing can achieve.
But one thing kept bothering me.
Whenever I needed a builder, plumber, electrician or roofer myself, I noticed the same pattern. Brilliant tradespeople doing outstanding work... hidden behind outdated websites, poor Google visibility or, in many cases, no online presence at all.
That's when My Trade Marketing was born.
You're Brilliant at Your Trade.
Marketing Isn't Your Job.
Let's be honest.
Most builders don't spend their evenings reading about SEO or trying to understand Google rankings.
You're quoting jobs, ordering materials, managing customers and getting home after a long day on site.
Marketing usually ends up at the bottom of the list.
And that's completely understandable.
That's where we come in.
We take care of your website, Google Business Profile, SEO, content and social media, so you can focus on what you do best.
Too Many Trades Are Losing Work They Should Be Winning
Every week people search Google for:
-
Builders near me
-
Local electrician
-
Bathroom fitter
-
Roofing company
-
Kitchen installer
-
If your business doesn't appear—or your website doesn't inspire confidence—those enquiries go elsewhere.
Not because you're not the better tradesperson.
Simply because another company looked more professional online.
That's a problem we solve every day
Marketing Doesn't Need To Cost Thousands
One thing surprised me when I started speaking to trades businesses.
Many had been quoted thousands of pounds for websites or monthly retainers they didn't understand.
Others had paid someone who disappeared after launch.
Or they'd been left trying to manage everything themselves.
We wanted to build something different.
Simple.
Affordable.
Honest.
No confusing jargon.
No inflated agency prices.
Just practical marketing that helps you get found online and win more work.
Think Of Us As Another Trade On Your Team
You wouldn't expect your customers to rewire their own house or fit their own kitchen.
Marketing is no different.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow an established business, we're here to become part of your team.
We'll build your online presence, improve your Google rankings, create content that builds trust and help generate a steady flow of enquiries.
So you can spend less time worrying about marketing...and more time doing the work you enjoy.
