A handyman website should clearly say what you do, where you work, how to contact you and why to trust you. A simple site with the right pages and a good Google Business Profile beats a flashy one that hides the basics.
Your website is your storefront
Most customers check you online before calling. A site with photos, reviews and a phone number builds credibility.
Five pages to have
- Home: who you are, where you work, a call button.
- Services: list the jobs you do, with typical examples.
- Service area: cities and neighborhoods you cover.
- Gallery and reviews: before and after photos. See photo tips.
- Contact or request a quote: phone, form and hours.
SEO basics
- Claim and complete your Google Business Profile.
- Use your city and services in page titles and headings.
- Keep your name, address and phone consistent everywhere.
- Earn reviews; see getting reviews.
- Make it fast and mobile friendly.
