Helping local tradespeople grow their business with powerful, lead- generating websites and ongling SEO
Are you looking for Website and SEO services in
Kent is one of the UK’s busiest counties for trades, covering large towns, coastal resorts, and historic cities. From plumbers in Canterbury, to builders in Maidstone, to electricians in Tunbridge Wells, customers across Kent are searching Google every day for the services you provide. If your website isn’t appearing in those search results, you’re losing out to competitors who have invested in their digital presence.
At Local Trades Websites, we design and build websites that don’t just look good — they’re designed to generate real enquiries. Combined with targeted SEO campaigns, we make sure your services appear in front of the right people across Kent and beyond.
Our Kent services include:
From landscapers in Ashford, to roofers in Dover, to carpenters in Sevenoaks, our websites and SEO packages are built to help Kent businesses grow and compete effectively.
What We Offer
We don’t just build websites that look the part, we build websites that work hard behind the scenes too. My focus is on creating high-converting, high-performing websites that turn browsers into buyers and bring in consistent organic traffic.
Our websites are built to rank well on Google, with PageSpeed scores between 95–100% on PC, technical SEO baked in, and weekly updates to keep your content fresh and relevant. Every site is created with purpose, designed to outrank competitors and win you real business.
Unlike agencies that pump out hundreds of cookie-cutter sites and never touch them again, we don’t take on every project. Those mass-produced sites might look polished but they rarely rank, especially if you're trying to show up in "tradesperson near me" searches.
We specialise in trades websites, for builders, electricians, plumbers, joiners, roofers, window fitters, and more. We only work with a limited number of clients, ensuring every site gets the ongoing SEO care, new content, and technical upkeep it needs to stay ahead in Google’s ever-changing rankings.
If you’re serious about growing online and want a website that’s actively managed, consistently updated, and built to bring in real leads, not just sit there, this is the service for you.
We don’t use off-the-shelf templates. While 43% of the internet runs on WordPress, most of those sites end up looking exactly the same. We take a different approach. Your website will be fully custom-designed, built with inspiration from our top-performing projects, and brought to life with Webflow for a smooth, standout experience that reflects your trade business.
Most website developmers do not focus heavily on on-site and local SEO. We Do!!! ensuring your website ranks for phrases like "[your trade] near me." From meta tags and internal links to keyword-rich content and mobile optimisation, we aim to push every SEO score as close to 100% as possible. The result? More traffic, higher engagement, and better conversion rates.
A fast, responsive website is no longer optional, it's essential! We make sure your new tradesman website performs flawlessly on all devices; desktop, tablet, and mobile. Google rewards responsive sites with better rankings, which means more organic visitors finding your services.
Animations, when done right, enhance user experience and make your website feel modern and dynamic. We use animations strategically to guide the visitor’s journey, boost interaction, and strengthen your brand image without slowing down the site.
Want to beat your competitors? as any leading website developer would tell you, We’ll analyse who’s ranking above you and why, then build a strategy to outperform them in search results. From backlink profiles to content gaps, we’ll tailor your site to target their weaknesses and claim your space at the top of Google.

We write high-quality, SEO-friendly content for your blog or service pages tailored specifically to your trade. Whether you’re a plumber, joiner, roofer, electrician, tiler, drainer or decorator, we’ll create unique content that shows off your expertise, helps Google index your site, and gives local users something worth reading. You’ll even have access to our ready-to-use image library to save time.

We build hundreds of location-specific landing pages tailored to your trade - plumbing, joinery, roofing, electrics, and more. These pages are designed to target “[your trade] near me” searches, helping you dominate your local area. With custom-written content, smart schema markup, and SEO-driven structure, these pages boost visibility, attract local traffic, and convert browsers into paying customers.

Unlike WordPress sites that often rely on third-party plugins (which can introduce vulnerabilities), we use Webflow to host secure, modern websites. Your site benefits from SSL encryption, automatic updates, DDoS protection, and industry-compliant hosting—keeping your business safe while giving your clients peace of mind.

We integrate Google Analytics and performance tracking tools so you can see exactly how your site is performing. From user behaviour to traffic sources, we help you understand what’s working and where to improve. Over time, this insight allows us to tweak your local trade content, improve conversion paths, and refine your SEO, driving better engagement and more leads.
Are you looking for Website and SEO services in
Kent, often called the “Garden of England,” offers one of the most diverse markets in the UK for trades. In Canterbury, with its historic properties and student housing, there is constant demand for decorators, plumbers, and electricians. Maidstone, the county town, is perfect for builders, landscapers, and roofers working on both family homes and commercial properties. Ashford, with its growing developments, creates opportunities for trades like carpenters, tilers, and cleaners, while Tunbridge Wells, known for its affluent housing, offers premium work for joiners, decorators, and landscapers.
Coastal towns such as Dover, Margate, and Folkestone also create steady demand. A roofer in Dover could target emergency call-out searches during stormy weather, while a cleaner in Margate could build repeat business by targeting holiday let owners. In Folkestone, trades such as builders and electricians are in high demand due to regeneration and new housing projects. Smaller towns like Sevenoaks, Faversham, and Whitstable are also strong areas for trades, where location-targeted SEO pages can secure consistent enquiries.
Tourism plays a significant role in Kent’s economy, creating additional opportunities. Holiday homes and second properties in coastal towns and villages require regular cleaning, decorating, and maintenance. A painter in Whitstable could attract high-value work by focusing on bespoke interior projects, while a landscaper in Sevenoaks could dominate searches for premium garden designs.
This approach works because we build not just one website page, but a network of SEO-optimised service and location landing pages. We proved the power of this method with traditionalcarpentry.uk, where we created over 1,400 landing pages across Kent and London. This transformed their visibility and generated enquiries for the exact services they wanted more of. The same proven system can be applied to your Kent trade business to give you long-term visibility and predictable enquiries.
Kent’s mix of modern developments, coastal properties, and heritage homes also means demand is spread across many trades. From electricians wiring new builds in Ashford to carpenters restoring timber windows in Canterbury, there’s work available everywhere — but only if customers can find you. With a tailored website and SEO campaign, you can make sure your trade is always front and centre when people search online.
At Local Trades Websites, our websites are designed not only to rank highly but also to convert visitors into paying customers. We include enquiry forms, review sections, and call-to-action buttons that build trust quickly. Our ongoing SEO work ensures your rankings grow stronger every month instead of slipping backwards.
If you’re relying on directories like Checkatrade or Bark, or hoping word-of-mouth alone will keep you busy, you’re likely missing out on dozens of enquiries every week. With a Kent-focused website and SEO package, you can take control of your growth, build long-term visibility, and secure more customers.
