Typical searches we work on

The search is simple. The decision is about trust.
Decorating searches are plain, “painter and decorator York”, “decorators near me”, and the map decides most of them. What decides the map is reviews: how many, how recent and what they say. A decorator with thirty recent reviews that mention clean work and finishing on time beats a decorator with a better website and three reviews from 2019.
The website still matters for the larger jobs: whole-house redecoration, exteriors, period properties and commercial contracts, where the customer compares and wants to see the work.
How your customers search
Four searches worth winning.
Examples of what people type, and what decides who gets the enquiry.
Seasonal
exterior painting yorkBooked for the dry months.
Exterior work is searched in spring and booked for summer. The page needs to rank before it is wanted.
Specialist
wallpaper hanging yorkA skill not everyone has.
Specialist work, papering, period properties, spray finishes, deserves its own page and its own photographs.
Commercial
commercial decorators yorkshireBought by a facilities manager.
Offices, schools, landlords and shops: a page about working around a business, out of hours, with insurance stated.

What makes the difference
Where the work goes first.
What we would usually put right for painters and decorators, in order.
01
A service-area Google Business Profile
The right category, the areas you cover and photographs of finished rooms. For a decorator this is most of the battle.
02
Reviews as a habit
A text with a link on the last day, every job. The firms at the top of the map are the ones that ask.
03
Pages for the work you want more of
Exteriors, commercial, period properties, papering. Each is a separate search and a separate kind of customer.
04
Photographs that look like real houses
Before and after, in ordinary light, with the area named. They do not need to be professional; they need to be honest.
05
An enquiry path that works at 9pm
A short form, a number that dials and a reply the next morning. Decorating is often researched after the children are in bed.
What you can say. Membership of a trade body can be shown only while it is current, and insurance cover stated on the site must be the cover you actually hold. Customers check both.
What we usually combine
The services behind the work.
Questions
Painters & decorators: straight answers.
Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.
I am a sole trader with no website. Is a Google profile enough?
To start, yes. A complete profile with photographs and a steady flow of reviews will win local work. A simple website adds the larger jobs and the ones that are compared.
How do I get reviews from private customers?
Ask on the last day, while they are pleased, with a direct link by text. Most people are happy to help when it takes a minute.
Can I rank in towns I do not live in?
Yes, where you genuinely work there. Jobs, photographs and reviews from customers in those towns are what make the difference.
Are paid adverts worth it for a decorator?
Sometimes, for exteriors in spring or commercial work. For everyday domestic jobs the map is usually cheaper and lasts.
