FAQs
How do I create a website for my building business?
Whether this is your first website or you want to replace an existing website, then you may worry about how to set up your website. But it doesn’t need to be hard – there’s a variety of excellent free tools you can use to DIY a basic site. However, if you’re not keen on writing, or would like your site to be bespoke, perhaps including unique designs, interactive features, or more, then it’s best to chat to a design company or website specialist to make sure your site is as professional as possible.
Here at Yell, we create and optimise your website for the types of enquiries and leads you really want. Our experts will write and design a site that looks and feels professional, reflects your brand, and guides potential customers searching online to get in touch or book your building services.
What is a PPC campaign and how can it improve marketing for home builders?
A PPC campaign (pay-per-click campaign) is a type of digital advertising in which a company, like your building business, pays a fee each time one of your ads is clicked. PPC campaigns can be run on search engines like Google, social media platforms like Facebook, or other websites that display ads.
In a PPC campaign, we’ll create ads for you that are targeted to a specific audience and bids on keywords or phrases related to your products or services. When someone searches for those keywords or phrases, the business ad may appear at the top of the search results or on the side of the page. The goal of a PPC campaign is to attract qualified leads and drive conversions through targeted relevant advertising.
Why is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) important for building businesses?
SEO is one of the most important places to start when it comes to building your online presence and boosting your business. Improving your visibility on search engines, and ranking higher in results pages on Google, Bing or even YouTube, helps more people find your business when they’re searching for builders in their area or who can provide the exact services they need.
How do you find the best keywords for your SEO?
Finding keywords for SEO involves identifying the terms and phrases that your target audience is likely to use when searching for products or services like yours. For builders, this might be your specific services, like renovations, structural work or extensions, or even location-based, so you can appeal to people in your area. Here at Yell we:
- Create a list of topics related to your business or industry.
- Use expert keyword research tools to find related keywords and get data on their search volume and competition level.
- Look at your competitors’ websites and see what keywords they are targeting.
- Consider using long-tail keywords, which are more specific and less competitive than shorter, more general keywords.
Once we have a list of potential keywords, we can use them to optimise your website’s content, meta tags, and other elements to improve your search engine ranking for those terms.
What is a digital marketing strategy?
A digital marketing strategy is a plan that outlines the steps a company like your building or construction business will take to reach its marketing goals through the use of online channels and technologies. It includes identifying target audiences, creating engaging content, and utilising social media, search engine optimisation, and other tactics to promote your skills and business and reach potential customers.

Builders
Websites for Construction Companies
Having a professional, readable, accessible, and functional website that appeals to your target audience is essential for all businesses and trades, building included. While the bulk of your work takes place offline, your marketing, customer service, and initial communication point is most likely to be online.
Our web designers will be able to work with you to design and create an attractive, beautifully designed, builders online store that will show off your skills and expertise, explain your services, and allow customers to easily get in touch to bring you on for their next project. And it doesn’t end there – we’ll also be on hand to support you with any updates to the website as needed. Get in touch to find out more.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) for Builders
Paid search can be a powerful tool for any business looking to increase their online presence and reach their target audience. Our paid search & social advertising services help you to effectively reach and engage your audience through targeted ads on search engines including Google and Bing.
Our PPC service uses your advertising budget in a way that best benefits your business, and target market through specific demographics, interests, and locations for relevant search queries. This allows for a more focused and efficient ad campaign, as we’ll be able to tailor your ads to reach your desired audience directly.
Additionally, our paid search services offer detailed analytics and insights, so we can track the effectiveness of your campaigns and make data-driven decisions on future advertising efforts. And it’s not just about driving brand new visitors to your site – paid search campaigns can even retarget interested customers who visited your site in the past with a reminder of your products and services.
Social Media for Construction Firms
There’s no denying that social media is one of the top ways to inspire new customers to engage with your business. Many people turn to social media before Google to discover local building businesses.
If you’re keen to share your construction work on social networks like Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, but are too short on time or inspiration, then our social services will be perfect for building your brand awareness, website traffic, leads, or bookings. We can help you showcase your expertise, skills, and the result of your company’s hard work with creative social media campaigns or targeted social advertising, which we can shape to reach your specific audience.
Online Reputation Management for Builders
If your customers are finding you online, they’ll likely be searching for reviews of your company. In a competitive market, a strong online reputation that proves a track record of top-quality building work and high customer satisfaction will help with your visibility, credibility, and trust, and is proven to attract more business. It could be the reason a customer chooses you over someone else.
Our reputation management services ensure your business and contact information is distributed on major websites and apps across the internet and can be discovered by potential customers. The connection of your social profiles into one accessible dashboard helps you communicate and share content with your customers across various networks from one place. You also get an easy way to manage and respond to reviews as we’ll consolidate your key review accounts into one centralised review management tool, helping you to build trust and credibility more easily.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) for Construction Companies
Whether you offer a wide range of building services or specialise in a certain type of work, you’ll be able to benefit from our Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) services in several ways. For example, we’ll help you identify the most relevant keywords for your company and optimise your website to attract targeted traffic from the huge number of people who are actively searching for the trade and services you offer every day.
In addition, our SEO packages can help you as a builder to differentiate your business from competitors by highlighting the unique features and benefits your company has to offer. By optimising your website for local search, we’ll be able to drive more leads from your geographic region, which can be particularly useful if you serve a specific area.
SEO is an essential marketing tool for builders. To find out how we can help you attract qualified leads, build credibility, and stand out from your competitors, you can find out more or contact us below. If you are looking for a construction SEO company, then Yell is the ideal choice.
