Study of 318 builders observed

A builder website should get you called. Not fill a page.

Builder, electrician, joiner, painter: on a job worth several thousand euros, a site that proves nothing loses to the first competitor who shows their work.

People type “electrician” or “roofer”, rarely “building tradesperson”. A catch-all page reassures nobody on a job: they want a trade, an area, a proof.

  • A page that mixes everything reassures nobody on a job. The quote goes to whoever looks specialised.

Mixing two trades in the same H1 loses both searches. The French site now splits them; this English page still covers the building-trade hub.

What the site must do

Electrician, roofer: it is no longer the same site. Pick your trade — the price grid is not here.

A building tradesperson does not need a catch-all page. The prospect is searching for a specific trade.

We start with a short brief, a first version and a launch, then we edit every month. How we work is on how it works. Figures come from the 1,500-site study. Packs stay on /en/pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will my work be well showcased?+

Yes, it's central for the trades: the vast majority of electricians and roofers we audited show no customer review at all. A before/after gallery makes the difference at a glance.

Can I display my certifications (RGE, 10-year warranty...)?+

Yes, and you should: these guarantees and labels remove hesitation before a customer even asks for a quote.

Can the site cover several trades?+

Yes — masonry, electrical, plumbing, painting: we structure the site so each service is clear, rather than a vague list that tells nobody anything specific.

How does a customer reach me from the site?+

Through a quote request form or a direct call, your choice. No complicated funnel — the goal is for a customer in a hurry to reach you in under 30 seconds.
