Websites for trades
The website a homeowner uses while water is coming through the ceiling
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofing, restoration. Built for somebody deciding in ninety seconds.
It’s 6:15 on a Sunday morning in Burnaby. A hot-water tank has let go and a homeowner is kneeling in a flooded closet, phone in hand. They will call whoever answers a search first.
A trades website has one job: get a panicking homeowner to call you. So the phone number is the largest element on the page, with the star rating beside it, licence and insurance in view, and a clear promise about price.
90seconds
Roughly how long a panicking homeowner gives a search result.
What a homeowner is deciding in the first ten seconds
A site that answers these four above the fold wins the call.
- Can you come now. "Van dispatched, forty minutes out" beats "emergency callouts available".
- Can I trust you. Rating, review count, licence and insurance, all in view.
- What will it cost. "From $149 for drain clearing" converts better than "free quotes".
- How do I reach you. A tap-to-call number. Nobody fills in a form while the ceiling leaks.
Why contact forms lose you emergency work
A form asks someone with an emergency to write it down and wait. The competitor with a call button has already answered.
Forms suit planned work, like a bathroom renovation, so they sit further down.
Do trades need to show prices?
Not a full list, because the job varies. Publish a starting figure per common job.
"Fixed price before we start" answers the real fear: an invoice decided after the fact.
The four trades with a page of their own
Roofing, plumbing, electrical and heating have their own pages: roofers, plumbers, electricians and HVAC companies. This one covers excavation, foundations, waterproofing, tree work, landscaping, paving, windows and siding.
What ranks a trades business locally
Mostly reviews and proximity. Every build sets up and verifies your Google Business Profile, and the automation plan asks each customer for a review once the job is done.
The website backs it up with a page per service area and the same name and number everywhere.
Questions people ask before they hire
How much does a plumber website cost in Vancouver?
$999 one time (up to five pages) plus $99 a month for hosting and edits. Most trades need no more; every extra page is somewhere to get lost.
Can you set up emergency call tracking?
Yes, at no extra build cost, so you can see which jobs came from the site, the map pack or word of mouth.
I only work in certain areas. Can the site say that?
Yes. It stops wasted calls, and a page per area you genuinely cover is one of the few reliable ways to rank locally.
Do you handle Google Business Profile too?
Yes. Every build sets it up and verifies it, with the same name, address and phone as the site. The map pack decides most emergency calls, and reviews move it, so the $449 automation plan asks every customer for one after the job.
