Somerset & Dorset's Trades Marketing Agency

Get found. Get chosen. Get booked.

You're brilliant at your trade. Most of your potential customers can't find you on Google — and if they do, they're calling your competitor first. We fix that with SEO that puts you top 3, AI that catches every missed call, and a system that books the job before you've even finished the one you're on.

The Problem

You're losing money.
Right now. Every day.

While you're under a sink or up on a roof — your phone rings. You can't answer. It goes to voicemail. The customer calls the next tradesman on Google. That competitor just answered your call.

Invisible on Google

60% of all clicks go to Google's top 3 results. If you're not there, you're invisible. Your competitor is taking every one of those clicks.

60% of clicks go to top 3

Missed Calls = Lost Jobs

If you average a £200 job and miss 10 calls a week, that's £2,000 a week walking to the next trade on Google. Not because you're bad at your job — because you're busy doing it.

Every missed call is a job for your competitor

Not Enough Reviews

Your competitor has 60 Google reviews. You have 7. Customers instinctively choose the business that looks more established and trusted.

44% of clicks go to top 3 map results

Dave Mitchell
Mitchell's Plumbing
Taunton, Somerset

"I was missing calls every day — when you're under a sink you can't exactly answer. The AI texts them back straight away. I got my first booking through it on day two while I was mid-job. It handles the initial back-and-forth and I just get a notification. Does exactly what it says."

"The follow-up side of things was eating my evenings — chasing quotes, sending reminders. Now it's automated and works better than when I was doing it manually. Had to trust it at first but it's genuinely been worth it. Getting enquiries from people searching Google in Bournemouth I'd never have reached before."

James Wright
Wright Roofing Co.
Yeovil, Somerset

"We had a handful of reviews when we started — not enough to look credible compared to the competition. The automated review requests changed that. Customers actually mention it now when they call: 'saw your reviews, you looked the most reliable option.' That's what you want to hear."

"Took me a while to commit, if I'm honest — I was doing alright on word of mouth and wasn't sure I needed it. Six months in and the AI's been catching calls I'd definitely have lost before. The responses it sends look better than what I'd have typed anyway."

Karen Ellis
Ellis Kitchen Designs
Dorchester, Dorset

"We weren't showing up for the searches that matter. Took a few months but we're consistently near the top now. The enquiries that come through the website are different — people have read through it, seen the photos, checked the reviews. They've half-decided before they even call."

Consistent, not just short-term

Tom Bradley
Bradley Tree Services
Frome, Somerset

"I'd had a bad experience with a web company before so I was wary. Site was up when they said it would be, phone got busier in the first few weeks. Nothing dramatic to report — it just works quietly in the background. That's genuinely all I wanted."

FAQ

Questions we get all the time

We fix the technical stuff on your site, build content Google wants to show, sort your Google Business Profile fully, and build citations across the web. Most clients see real movement in 60–90 days. Top 3 usually takes 4–6 months depending on how competitive your area is.
A professional 5-page mobile-ready website — Home, About, Services, Contact, and one trade/location landing page. Live in 5 working days. Includes basic on-page SEO, click-to-call, contact form, 1 year free hosting, and 1 month of free support. We also write all the copy so you don't have to.
When you miss a call on site, the AI texts the customer back within 2 seconds. It asks what job they need, where they are, and when they want it done. It books it into your calendar and sends you a notification. You just show up and do the work.
Google Ads can bring leads in 48 hours. SEO takes 60–90 days for real movement, with serious ranking gains at 4–6 months. The AI starts catching missed calls from day one.
Directories like Checkatrade, Bark, and MyBuilder work on a shared-lead model — the same enquiry goes to several trades. You're competing for a lead you've already paid for. ForgeMason builds your own presence on Google so leads come to you only. The model is fundamentally different: you own the asset instead of renting access to a queue.
GoHighLevel is the platform we build on — the software licence alone starts at around $97/month. Most UK agencies that resell it charge £397–£797/month plus a £997+ setup fee because running it properly takes real time. We've productised the setup specifically for trades, which lets us run it leaner and pass the saving on. You're a tradesperson, not a marketer — you shouldn't be setting up automations at 11pm.
The £300 build fee is one-time — no contract. Monthly plans are rolling — cancel with 30 days' notice at any time. We're confident enough in the results that we don't need to trap you in a 12-month contract.
Yes. We write all the copy. We can work with stock photography or guide you on taking quick job photos on your phone. Most clients just send us a few details about what they do and we handle everything else.
Yes — that's a core part of every package. We optimise it fully, set up weekly posts, build out all your services, and start getting you into the Map Pack. The top 3 map results get 44% of all local clicks — we put you there.
We started in Somerset and Dorset and know this market inside out. But we now work with trades across the UK. Local SEO principles work the same whether you're in Taunton or Newcastle.

While you're reading this, your phone might be ringing.

15-minute call. We'll look at your Google ranking, your missed calls, what your local competitors are doing — and show you exactly where the gap is. No obligation. No sales pitch. Just an honest look at what's there to fix.
