In 2025, Yell analysed 64 garage doors businesses across the UK to understand how the industry is performing online.
The results show huge opportunities to stand out and win more leads.
- Only 28% run Google Ads – despite 40,000+ monthly UK searches for ‘garage door repair’. (Google Ads Keyword Planner, 2024)
- Most are missing out on ready-to-buy traffic.
- 41% of businesses have no reviews – meaning they’re often ignored when customers compare options online. (No reviews = no trust!)
- Only 78% have valid SSL on their website – leaving nearly 1 in 5 with “Not Secure” warnings that put off potential customers.
- Only 16% use Facebook or Google retargeting ads – 84% don’t follow up with website visitors who leave without calling or booking. Retargeting helps turn interest into enquiries.
