Who the Local Service template is for

Built for the local trade or service whose customers only need three answers: what you do, whether you can be trusted, and how to reach you. The quote form sits beside the argument on the first screen, the six trades are a ticked list next to a photograph, and the hours and the on-call line are on the home page - and nothing needs a paid plan, so a new business can put it live before it has revenue.

Make it yours

Photograph your own van, shopfront or finished work; a stock storefront is the fastest way to look like every other trade site in town. Put your actual coverage area and hours on the home page - "within 20 minutes of the ring road" converts better than "local area" - and rewrite the three ticked promises under the headline to ones you can keep every time, because a tick reads as a guarantee.

Three Answers, Fast

A local service customer wants to know what you do, whether you can be trusted, and how to reach you. A site that delivers those three in one screen outperforms a bigger site that makes them hunt.

Put the service area on the page

Towns, postcodes, radius. "Covering the whole region" is what everyone writes; naming the places is what matches the search somebody actually typed.

Make contact effortless

A tappable phone number, a short form, and your hours. Most local service enquiries happen on a phone, often while the problem is happening.

Proof beats promises

Recent jobs with photographs, a handful of genuine reviews, how long you have traded, and whether you are insured or accredited. Local trust is built from specifics.

Publish the site, connect a domain through connect a custom domain, and keep the hours honest. The wider version of this is in small business website essentials.
