Dave Hutchins
Plumber · Bournemouth
£11,400 in new jobs — first 3 months
The problem
Dave was spending £300 a month on Checkatrade chasing shared leads alongside 10 other plumbers. His existing website hadn't been updated in years and wasn't ranking for any local search terms. He was missing 3–5 calls a week with no follow-up in place.
What we installed
- New conversion-optimised website with service and location pages
- Local SEO targeting Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch
- Missed call text-back automation
- Google Business profile optimisation
The outcome
First direct enquiry came in within 9 days of the website going live. By week six Dave was receiving 8–10 new enquiries per week — all direct, no platform fees.
“I was spending £300 a month on Checkatrade and still chasing dead leads. TradesBooked sorted my website, my Google listing, and within 6 weeks my phone was ringing with proper direct enquiries. Best move I've made for the business.”
