background
The challenge
Finn Industrial Roofing isn’t a start-up chasing small domestic jobs. With a 15-strong team and £1.5m turnover, they had a clear ambition: grow to £2.1m within 12 months. But their marketing was holding them back.
Owner Luke Harding says: “I had been with my website company for over 10 years and had become disillusioned with the service and enquiry levels. I was not happy with my marketing.”
Key issues:
- A 10-year relationship with a website provider that had grown stagnant
- No clear visibility on performance
- Not attracting the right type of roofing work
They wanted high-value commercial roofing projects – and a predictable pipeline to support long-term growth.
“Surinder keeps in regular contact with me and is available to deal with any enquiries or issues I am excited to see how the relationship with yell helps me business to grow over the coming months. As soon as the website and new programme went live I saw an immediate increase in enquiry levels and am very happy with the service. The enquiries I have had have been really good quality enquiries for high value projects.”

How we helped
Account manager Surinder Bains worked closely with Luke to implement Yell’s Accelerate solution, supported by a targeted SEO strategy, designed to drive visibility, enquiries, and conversions:
- 🔍 Targeted Google Ads to capture high-intent local searches
- 🌐 A new website focused on conversion and usability
- 💻 Local SEO strategy with ongoing optimisations to dominate commercial searches
- 📍 Stronger online presence across Google, local results, and AI search
- ⭐ Review generation and reputation building to establish trust
- 🤝 Dedicated account management, with regular reviews and proactive advice (hi, Surinder!)
The focus wasn’t just more leads – it was the right leads.
Luke says: “Surinder took the time to analyse my website, my competitors and gaps in my online visibility and we discussed my business priorities thoroughly. She recommended a complete revamp of my marketing with an Accelerate solution. Surinder worked closely with me on the build of the new website and advertising programme.”
