Websites for Tradespeople and Handymen in Greater Manchester
Written by Simon Fielding, Founder, HollowMINT

What a trades website must do
Make calling you one tap — A phone number that dials on tap, visible at the top of every page, on mobile especially.
Say what you do and where — List your services plainly and name the areas you cover, such as Altrincham, Sale, Stockport and Manchester, so both customers and Google understand your patch.
Collect good enquiries — A short quote form that asks what the job is, where it is and for a photo lets you price or triage without a phone call. We show how to follow it up automatically in our guide to automation for tradespeople.
Prove you're trustworthy — Reviews, photos of finished work, insurance and any relevant accreditation (such as Gas Safe or NICEIC where it applies) build trust faster than any slogan.
Load fast on a phone — Most people find tradespeople on their phones, often on mobile data. Heavy, slow sites lose the job to the next result.
