Carpentry

Example business: a 7-person carpentry and joinery firm based in Bristol, serving the wider Bristol area and focused on fitted wardrobes and bespoke storage, plus alcove units and built-in furniture. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through Checkatrade and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive quote requests, a lower cost per project and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge

Where a business like this gets stuck

  • Carpentry covers everything from small repairs to custom joinery, and generic marketing attracts the low-value end.
  • Quality craftsmanship is hard to show on a basic website, so buyers compare on price instead.
  • Many carpenters depend on builders for work, leaving them exposed when a builder's pipeline slows down.
  • Peak season (garden rooms and decking peak in spring and summer; interior joinery enquiries rise in autumn and january) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Two services, one goal

This example focuses on SEO and Website Development, two channels that can suit carpentry and joinery businesses in Bristol. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
