No Retainers. No Confusion. Just Results.

How East Devon Tradespeople can finally get found online (Without wasting time or money)

Added: 29 June 2025

If you're a builder, plumber, electrician or any tradesperson running a small business in East Devon, you've probably felt this frustration: "I'm great at what I do - but I'm nowhere to be seen online." You're not alone.

How East Devon Tradespeople can finally get found online (Without wasting time or money)

The Digital Headache Every Tradesperson Faces

You’ve got the tools, the skills, the van. Word of mouth has kept you going — until now.
But suddenly, everyone’s searching online before they pick up the phone.

So you try to get ahead. And that’s when the confusion hits:

  • Should I have a website?
  • Is a Google Business Profile enough?
  • Do I need Yell, Facebook, or Checkatrade too?
  • What even are Local Services Ads?
  • Why is that newer firm showing up and I’m not?
  • Everywhere you look, someone’s trying to sell you something different.
    You just want to be found when someone searches “trusted tradesperson near Exmouth” or “best plumber Sidmouth.”

    But instead, you get:

    • A messy digital trail — old listings, duplicate profiles, no reviews
    • Inconsistent leads or time-wasters
    • A jigsaw of half-set-up profiles that don’t match up
    • Stress, confusion, and no clear next step

    The goal is dimple: Be the one who gets the call

    • You don’t need to become a social media expert.
    • You don’t need to waste money on ads that don’t convert.
    • You just need to show up — properly — where your customers are already searching.

    That’s what I fix.

    Introducing: Search Everywhere Optimisation for Trades in East Devon

    At 1010 Media, I’ve developed a one-off setup service specifically for tradespeople and small businesses in East Devon.

    This isn’t a one-size-fits-all marketing package. It’s a practical, fast, and local solution.

    I call it Search Everywhere Optimisation and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

    What I set up for you:

    • Google Business Profile – verified, optimised, and ready to rank in the map pack
    • Local Services Ads (LSAs) – for those “Google Guaranteed” top spots
    • Yell, Bing, and trade directories – cleaned up, consistent and clickable
    • Facebook business page – branded and ready to collect reviews
    • NAP Consistency – your Name, Address, and Phone are correct across the web
    • Review strategy – I even write your outreach scripts and templates

    I also include:

    • A “Brand-in-a-Box” — logo, cover photo, and email signature (if you don’t have one)
    • Photo optimisation — sourcing or editing images that help you convert
    • Keyword-rich service descriptions — written for trades

    Designed for East Devon, not just anywhere

    I’m based in Devon - and I get local business.

    I know East Devon towns like Sidmouth, Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Honiton, Seaton, and Ottery St Mary — and what it takes to stand out here.

    This isn’t about ranking nationally. It’s about showing up locally — where your ideal customers live, work, and search.

    No Retainers. No Confusion. Just Results.

    I don’t trap you in long contracts. I don’t confuse you with dashboards and nonsense metrics I get it done - usually in under a week.

    Then I give you access, show you how it works, and hand you the keys.

    I’ll even check in after 90 days to tweak things if needed.

    Only 5 trades accepted per month

    Because this is hands-on and done properly, I limit Search Everywhere Optimisation to 5 local businesses per month.

    If you're in East Devon and you're ready to stop being invisible online - now’s the time.

    WordPress is brilliant for velocity, I can launch a polished site over a weekend and your marketing team can start editing on Monday. But if the brief says 'pin 20,000 poems to a live map' or 'scan 10,000 pallets per day', even the best theme or plugin will buckle under the pressure.
