Word of mouth works until it slows, and then there is no other door. The urgent phone search is the second channel, and it has no monthly fee.
The work arrives by word of mouth. It works, it is cheap, and it has kept the workshop going for fifteen years. The problem is that it has no steering wheel: when word of mouth slows down, there is no other door for anything to come through.
Meanwhile the person with a leak at nine at night is searching on their phone for somebody from their own street. That search isn’t won by whoever has the prettiest website: it is won by whoever shows up, says which areas they cover, and answers.
We work with car, motorbike and bike workshops, locksmiths, electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, carpenters, glaziers, painters and building firms. The brief is usually the same: get work coming in through some door that isn’t a brother-in-law.
Nobody searches for “refurbishment”. They search “replace bath with shower in Sabadell” at ten at night. Every service and every area you genuinely cover gets its own page, with what it costs and how long it takes — and none of them is the same page with the name changed.
Half an hour of driving to look at something a photo would have answered is half an hour you don’t bill. The form asks for photos, measurements and the address, and it arrives on your phone in order — not as a two-line email.
The urgent search happens on the map and is decided in thirty seconds. It is won with a finished Google profile, real opening hours, and a phone number that dials in one tap straight from the result.
In this trade the website doesn’t sell: it vouches. It shows you exist, that you are registered, that you are insured, and that you have done this before. That is what gets you picked over whoever is first in the list.
All the work by referral, zero quote requests from the internet, and two bad months a year there was no way to fill. The brief was to open a second way in without starting to pay for ads every month.
Extended Arranca package shape, with service and area pages. Fixed quote in two working days
You already meet half of these on paper. What we do is make the website say the same thing the paper does, which is where nearly everyone slips.
A vehicle repair workshop must offer a written quote in advance, issue a deposit receipt, and display its prices and hours. If the quote comes out of the website, it has to carry what the paper one carries.

The legal guarantee of conformity on goods sold to consumers is three years for anything delivered from 1 January 2022. Saying so on the site prevents half the arguments and costs nothing.

Low-voltage electrical installations that require it are evidenced by the authorised installer’s certificate, registered with the competent body. If you offer this on the site, say that it is included and who signs it.

Premises open to the public in Catalonia must hold official complaint forms and say so visibly — including when the service is contracted online.

The places where this has a version of its own. Not every Barcelona district: the ones where this trade’s problem changes shape.

You need it the day referrals slow down, and by then it is too late to start. On a small budget the best return is a properly finished Google Business Profile plus three or four service pages: that is what puts you in the phone search, which is where urgency gets decided.
Only for the areas you genuinely travel to, and with different content on each: what you do there, how fast you get there, which jobs you have done. A page per municipality in the comarca with the same text and the name swapped doesn’t rank, and it can damage the rest of the site.
That is exactly why it arrives on your phone already sorted, with the address as a map link: so you can accept or decline from the van without ringing. Most lost quotes are lost by taking a day to reply, not on price.
They get asked for as the job finishes, which is the only moment people write them, with a direct link to the profile. What we don’t do is publish them on your site without explaining how they’re verified: since RDL 24/2021 that is an unfair commercial practice.
Tell us what you do and how far you travel. We’ll tell you which pages you need and what it costs, within 48 working hours.
