A free check of your site in about ten seconds: speed, phones, search, whether your emails arrive, and whether ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can read your business at all. No signup, results on the page, and we will tell you if nothing needs doing.

The problem
The lead platforms sell the same job to four of you and charge all four. Your best customers came from word of mouth anyway. And when someone is handed your name and looks you up, what they find is a Facebook page from 2019 or nothing at all.
That last one is the expensive part. A recommendation gets checked before it gets called, and a business with twenty years of good work behind it can lose the job to someone younger with a tidier website.
How this works
Most people who run the audit never need anything else from us, and the report says so when that is the case. Here is the whole thing in order, so you can see where it goes and where it stops.
Put your address in and get the whole list in about ten seconds. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay, and no one rings you afterwards unless you ask. Most people stop here, and that is a perfectly good outcome.
Every finding comes with what it is costing you and what to do about it, in English. Plenty of it you can do yourself in an afternoon, and we would rather you did than paid us for it.
When the audit says the site is past fixing, we build one. Three weeks, a price agreed before we start, the domain in your name, and no contract holding it. This is the part we charge for.
Hosting, backups, updates and small changes when you need them. Monthly, cancel whenever, and the site goes with you if you do.
What the audit checks
Ten of these are what any free checker does. The rest are not in the free tools, and several of them describe money leaving your business this month. See all of them listed
When somebody asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for a plumber in your town, it names two or three businesses it can describe with confidence. We check whether the assistants can reach your site at all, and whether there is anything on your pages one could quote.
7 checks
We check the records that tell Gmail and Outlook your quotes are really from you. Without them your emails get filtered and you never find out, because there is no bounce. The customer simply does not reply.
3 checks
Measured by Google, on a mobile connection, not guessed at from the page. Their own research found a tenth of a second of loading time moved enquiry form completions by 21.6%.
3 checks
Fresha, Booksy, Just Eat and Checkatrade rank themselves, not you, and take a cut on the way past. We spot when your web presence is rented rather than owned, which is the commonest thing we find.
8 checks
Whether there is a phone number on the page at all, whether it can be tapped, and what your link looks like when somebody pastes it into a WhatsApp group. The faults nothing else checks for, and the only ones where the customer had already decided to ring you.
5 checks
Security, mobile layout, how you look in search results, your business details in the format machines read. The things every checker looks at, checked properly and explained in English.
12 checks
The part nobody else can do. Where we have audited your trade in your area, your score sits next to everyone else's, because we checked all of them before we wrote a word about it.
Rather than guess at what local trades websites are like, we audited 61 of them across 3 areas. Here is what we found.
Our own figures, from our own checks. Ask and we will tell you exactly how each one was measured. See the breakdown by area
Not our opinion
Everyone in this trade quotes statistics at you. These four are from people who published their method, and every one is a link, check them rather than taking our word for it.
21.6%
more people reached the enquiry form when a mobile site got one tenth of a second faster
Measured across 30 million real sessions on 37 brands. The lead-generation sites in the study also saw bounce rates fall 8.3%.
70%
more likely to visit a business whose Google profile is complete
Google's own figure. The same research puts customers at 2.7 times more likely to consider a business reputable when its profile is filled in.
47%
will not consider a business with fewer than 20 reviews
And 31% will only use one rated 4.5 stars or higher, nearly double the share a year earlier.
35%
of UK sole traders have no website at all
A government survey of UK businesses. Among all businesses the figure is 32%.
Two of these are surveys of businesses generally rather than of trades in East London specifically, which is why they are labelled with who ran them and when. Our own figures, from our own checks, are on the research pages.
In search results
The blue line somebody clicks and the sentence underneath it are written by you, or they are written by Google. When Google writes them it sometimes picks your cookie notice, and the town you cover gets cut off the end.
One site, both screens
The same site, rearranged rather than shrunk. On a phone the headline gets room, the form moves below it, and the call button is wide enough to hit with a thumb while you are holding something else.
What you actually get
Not a template with your logo dropped on it. Each page has a job: the one people land on from Google, the one that says what you do, the one that proves you can do it, and the one with your number on it.
Three weeks
The commonest complaint about web people is silence. Here is the whole thing, so you can tell whether it is on track without having to ask.
Where it shows up
"Get found online" means nothing. These are the actual four, and the last one is the one almost nobody is building for yet.
Who this is for
The problem is the same whatever the business: a good reputation sitting on somebody else's platform, and nothing of your own for people to find. If your line of work is not here, it is an oversight rather than a policy, ring and ask.
Where we work
We audited every business of your trade in these areas before we wrote a word of this site. If you are outside them, ring us anyway. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right person.
What you get either way
We audit the site we built you, with the same checker anybody can run on it. If it ever turns up a serious finding we caused, we fix it free. Not a promise about a score, because we write the scoring and marking our own homework is worth nothing. A promise about findings, which you can check yourself.
Agreed up front and written down. It does not move because the job turned out to be bigger than we thought. That is our problem, not yours.
Domain, hosting, content, the lot, in your name from day one. If you want to walk away, you take the site with you and nothing breaks.
If your site is fine and you are wasting money elsewhere, we would rather say so and lose the job than take it. We have sent people away before.
Questions
Because you are renting access to your own customers. Stop paying and the leads stop the same week. A website you own keeps working, and the enquiries come to you directly rather than to you and three competitors at once.
Maybe not. Ask us for the free audit first, if the answer is "yours is fine, fix these two things yourself", that is what we will tell you.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the site is yours, and you can move it to another host or another developer whenever you like. No contract holding it hostage.
Three weeks from the day you send us your details. Most of that is waiting on photos and copy from you; the build itself is quick.
Normal. Photos off your phone of finished jobs are better than stock images, and we will write the copy from a twenty-minute phone call.
The build is a one-off. Hosting and upkeep is monthly and you can stop it whenever you want. The site goes with you.
Rather talk it through
Three fields. We read every one ourselves and reply the same working day.
Send us your address and we will look at it properly and tell you what we find. No charge, and no pitch deck afterwards. You will be dealing with Leo Ruben.
