For handymen, handywomen and small property maintenance firms who would rather fill the week with their own customers than buy leads or wait for an app to send work. We set up your Google profile, pages and reviews around the jobs people actually search for, and around the trust a stranger needs before letting you in. Local SEO and Google Business Profile work is paid on results: nothing to pay upfront, and nothing until the results we agree with you in writing, before we start, have been met.

Read the full storyWe don't work for a handyman yet, so none of these is one. They are the closest work we have: a renovation firm working in London homes, a spray painter whose customers let him into their kitchens, and a one-person mobile business that goes out to customers. Each figure compares the first full month on record with the strongest month after it.

None of these clients is a handyman, and we won't present them as one. When we take on our first handyman client, their figures go here with the window and source printed the same way.
Mostly "handyman near me", and then the job itself. Across the UK, "handyman near me" is searched about 18,100 times a month and "handyman" 14,800. "Odd job man near me" adds 2,400 and "local handyman" 1,900. Then come the jobs by name, each small on its own: "flat pack assembly near me" about 480, "tv wall mounting" 320, "door hanging near me" 110. Search counts on this page come from Keyword Planner: average UK searches per month, October 2025 through September 2026.
Small numbers add up when one profile and one site can catch all of them. Google's mobile results for "handyman near me", as returned for a Leeds location on 21 October 2026 by the search data service we use, opened with a row of Yelp, MyBuilder, Yell and Gumtree, then a map of three local handymen holding 26, 78 and 120 reviews, every one rated 5.0. A rating alone won't separate you there. The number of reviews, what they say and which jobs your profile lists will.
"Handyman" tells Google very little about what you do. Shelves, curtain poles, sticking doors, silicone, flat pack and fence panels are separate jobs, and the customer who types one of them wants proof you do that one. A page per group of jobs, and the same jobs listed as services on your profile, is how you get matched.
"Gutter cleaning near me" averages roughly 8,100 a month, but it hit 18,100 in October 2025 and fell to 5,400 by December. If you clear gutters, that page needs to be ranking by September, before the leaves come down and the overflow stains appear.
"Handyman near me" ran from 22,200 searches in October 2025 down to 12,100 in December. People stop fixing things before Christmas and start again in the new year. A profile that is already strong when demand returns gets the January lists that built up over the holidays.
Because the customer has usually been turned down already. A joiner won't come out to rehang one door and an electrician won't come out to put up a mirror, so the person with the job goes back to Google. Be the one who answers the phone and says yes, and the curtain pole often turns into a list. A customer with a list tends to keep your number.
Price is the first thing they ask. Under "handyman near me", Google's People Also Ask box listed "How much does a handyman charge per hour in the UK?" and "What is the minimum charge for a handyman?". A page that explains how you charge, whether that's a minimum call-out, an hourly rate or a half-day for a list, filters out the people who wanted it done for a tenner. Our free day rate calculator helps you set the figure, and the quote template puts it in writing.
Flat pack is the job with the most visible competition. IKEA sells assembly at its own checkout through Taskrabbit, priced from £33 for its own products (IKEA). So your assembly page shouldn't sell itself as just assembly. It should cover what that booking leaves out: furniture from any shop, wardrobes fixed to the wall, the old one taken away, and the shelf in the next room done in the same visit.
They check before they open the door, and often a son or daughter checks for them. Older homeowners have heard about doorstep traders, so your profile and site have to answer the safety question before the price question.
You're also up against services they already trust. Many local Age UK branches run handyperson services that fit smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and grab rails, and Age UK says they are usually charged for (Age UK). Some councils give their own tenants one free: Medway's covers two hours a year of shelves, curtain rails and flat pack (Medway Council). Your pages need to give a family the same reassurance a charity's name does.
In England and Wales anyone 16 or over can apply for a basic DBS check on their own record. It costs £20 and shows convictions that are not spent (GOV.UK). Say on your site and profile that you hold one and when it was issued, and have the certificate ready to show.
Buy With Confidence is run by local authority Trading Standards. Members pass an audit, and anyone who works in or around customers' homes is criminal record checked. If your council runs it and you're a member, link your listing so a family can check it.
Work agreed in someone's home carries a 14-day cooling-off period, except for urgent repairs they called you in for. If the trader gives no cancellation details, the period runs on for up to a year (Citizens Advice). Put it on every quote. It reads as honest to the family checking.
Photos of you, your van and finished jobs in real homes, and reviews that mention you by name. A profile with stock images and no person behind it looks exactly like the trader the family is worried about. Photos that help a profile rank
Gas work, and electrical work that the rules say must be notified. A profile that lists "plumbing and electrics" as loosely as "odd jobs" ranks you for searches you can't legally take, and it worries the customer who knows the rules. Spell out what you do and what you pass on.
Taking the old one away counts as well. In England, carrying waste for a business means registering as a waste carrier, and not registering can bring an unlimited fine (GOV.UK). If you offer to take the old wardrobe or the garden waste, register and put the number on the page.
HSE is plain about it: whoever is paid to work on a gas appliance in someone's home must be Gas Safe registered (HSE). Pulling a cooker out on its bayonet fitting to clean behind it isn't gas work. Fitting or reconnecting one is. So no boiler, hob or gas fire jobs on your pages unless you are registered.
In England, a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement, or any addition or alteration to circuits in the zone around a bath or shower must be notified under the Building Regulations. Repairs, replacements and maintenance are not notifiable, though the work must still be safe (Approved Document P). Name only the electrical jobs you are competent to do.
A page that says "for new circuits and boilers we bring in a registered electrician or a Gas Safe engineer" wins the customer with a mixed list. Our SEO for electricians page shows how the registered trades are sold, which is what your partner is doing.
With a page written for them, because they buy differently. A landlord or agent wants one reliable person for the same list across many properties: changeovers between tenancies, repairs reported by tenants, and safety jobs with a legal deadline behind them. They search "property maintenance near me", about 1,300 times a month, and they compare reliability, turnaround and paperwork, not hourly rates.
Some of their legal duties are your work. Since 1 October 2022, landlords in England must have a smoke alarm on every storey with living accommodation, a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker, and must repair or replace an alarm once told it is faulty (GOV.UK). The rules don't specify the type of alarm, and the guidance suggests sealed-for-life batteries. Other duties are not your work. The electrics in a rental must be inspected at least every five years by a properly qualified person (GOV.UK), and gas checks need a Gas Safe engineer.
Six tasks that recur each month, pointed at the work that pays you best. SEO for tradesmen sets out the method for every trade; here is the handyman version.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile work is paid on results. There is nothing to pay upfront: you pay nothing until the results we agree with you in writing, before we start, have been met.
Websites, ads and social media are quoted separately after the free analysis. How pay on results works
Tell us your trade and area. We record a short video of where you rank, who is above you and what would have to change. It is yours to keep.
If your market is not winnable, we say so. If it is, we agree in writing what a result is and how it is measured, before anything starts.
Your Google Business Profile, the pages that need to rank, citations and reviews. One business per trade per area, so never your rival as well.
Clicks, calls and where you show up, in your own portal, straight from Google. You pay once the agreed results are met.
There is no price list, because a handyman in a market town and one in south London face very different competition. The analysis comes first, then a figure you're free to turn down. Local SEO and Google Business Profile work is paid on results: there is nothing to pay upfront, and you pay nothing until the results we agree with you in writing, before we start, have been met. Once they are, you pay month to month and can stop whenever you like; end it before then and nothing is due. Website builds, advertising and social media sit outside that arrangement and are priced on their own. How the terms work
Make your own Google profile the place people find you, and make it easy for every past customer to come back. In practice that means a complete profile listing the jobs you do, a review after every visit, pages for the jobs that pay best, and your name and number kept the same everywhere. Lead sites can sit alongside that while they pay their way. How the main lead sites charge
Nobody honest can name a date. It turns on the handymen around you: how many there are, how many reviews each one has and how much ground your profile has to make up. You see calls and clicks move, or not, each month in the portal. And as the fee waits for the result, a slow patch is our problem rather than yours.
No. We take one handyman or property maintenance firm per area, so the person chasing the same lists can't join too. If someone close by is already a client, you hear that before anything else.
Not while the work they send is worth what it costs you. Run your own profile alongside and ask each new customer how they found you. Platforms change their terms and some close: Rated People went into liquidation in September 2026 (what that means). A Google profile is free and stays in your name.
No single licence covers handyman work. The rules attach to particular jobs instead: gas work needs Gas Safe registration, some electrical work in England has to be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations, and taking customers' waste away means registering as a waste carrier. A basic DBS check is not a licence, but it is the thing an older customer's family is most likely to ask about.
Yes. To Google you're a service-area business, so the address is hidden and the towns you cover are listed instead. Naming a town won't make you rank in it, though; the map still measures distance from the address you verified. The free analysis shows which streets around you are realistic to win, and which would take much longer.
Yes, if it does its job. We happily work on a sound site another firm built. Where the site itself loses you calls, the analysis video points that out, and any rebuild is priced separately, outside pay on results. Websites for tradesmen
Give us your town and the kind of work you'd happily do all week, whether that's odd jobs for homeowners, flat pack, gutters or landlord maintenance. A short recording of your local map lands within two working days: which handymen and directories take those searches now, and what would move you above them. You keep the video whatever you decide about us. If your patch isn't worth the effort, it says that too.
