Websites for Birmingham trades

Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city and the centre of a very large trade market covering the wider West Midlands conurbation. The Birmingham market is big enough that generic positioning gets lost. Trades who name the specific areas they cover — and the type of work they actually want — get better-matched enquiries than those trying to appear everywhere at once.

We build professional, mobile-first sites for trades and local service businesses across Birmingham — nothing to pay upfront, live in about two weeks, and you own the site and domain outright. You see a free preview before you pay a penny.

Built to get found in Birmingham

Every site is set up for local SEO targeting your trade and Birmingham, and connected to your Google Business Profile — so you are positioned to show up when locals search. We can target nearby areas too, including Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton.

What Birmingham trades get called for most

How people search in Birmingham

Birmingham searchers split hard between the city term and the surrounding towns — Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Dudley behave like separate markets. Most competitors chase only the city term, which leaves the town-level searches comparatively open.

Frequently asked questions

The Birmingham market is crowded — can a new site realistically compete?

+

Not for the broadest searches straight away, and we would not claim otherwise. What a new site can do quickly is rank for the specific combinations most competitors ignore — your particular trade in your particular part of the conurbation, plus the searches that come off your Google Business Profile. That is where the early enquiries come from while the broader rankings build.

Should I compete on 'Birmingham' or on the surrounding towns?

+

Both, but expect the towns to pay off first. 'Birmingham' is contested by established agencies and takes time. Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and West Bromwich are far more winnable, and an enquiry from a town you actually cover is usually a better job than one from the far side of the conurbation.

How much does a website cost for a Birmingham business?

+

Scale Start is £45 a month and Scale Up is £79 a month, with nothing to pay upfront. We are not VAT-registered, so there is no VAT to add — the price you see is the price you pay. Both plans run on a 12-month minimum term and then continue month to month.

How quickly can a Birmingham business get a site live?

+

You get a free preview within 48 hours and the finished site is live within about two weeks. Nothing is charged before you have seen the preview and approved it.

Which areas around Birmingham do you cover?

+

We build for businesses across Birmingham and the surrounding area, including Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich, Dudley and Wolverhampton. The site and your Google Business Profile are set up for the areas you actually work in.

Do I own the website?

+

Yes — the domain, the site and the content are yours. The 12-month minimum term is what lets us build and manage the site with £0 upfront, and you see the full price and term before anything is built.
