Do I really need a website if I have a Facebook page?
  • Yes, a dedicated website is essential for owning your online presence and ranking on Google. While social media is great for sharing day-to-day updates, you don't own the platform, and social pages simply do not appear in local "near me" Google searches or AI recommendations the way a properly optimised website does.
Do you build websites for businesses in both the UK and France?

Yes, Search Ready builds and optimises websites for small businesses in both the UK and France. Whether you run a local roofing company in Manchester, a boutique B&B in Cornwall, or a holiday gite in Brittany, we tailor your website's local SEO to target your specific regional market and ideal customers.

How do I get my trade business to show up on Google Maps?

We get your business to the top of Google Maps by optimising your Google Business Profile alongside a fast, mobile-friendly website. For tradespeople, we ensure your service areas, customer reviews, and contact details are perfectly aligned across the web so you dominate local "near me" searches when someone needs you urgently.

What does it mean to get my business "Search Ready"?

Getting "Search Ready" means building a website that both traditional search engines (like Google) and modern AI assistants can easily read and recommend. We handle the technical setup, fast loading speeds, mobile design, and local keywords so you can stop worrying about digital marketing and focus on running your business.

Why isn't my current website getting any local leads or direct bookings?

If your website isn't generating business, it is likely missing local SEO structure, mobile optimisation, or clear booking buttons. Many trades and hospitality owners have websites that look nice but are completely invisible to Google and modern AI search engines. We fix this by rebuilding your site with targeted location keywords (whether you are in a specific UK county or a region in France), fast loading speeds on mobile, and seamless "click-to-call" or reservation systems that turn casual browsers into paying customers.
