Found problems and want them sorted properly? A £149 Website Health Check goes over your whole site and gives you a fix list in order, credited back if you go ahead with the work.

Free Tools Built for UK Trades & Small Businesses

These tools are designed to help local businesses improve how they show up online, respond to customers faster, and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.

Whether you're a plumber, electrician, cleaner, takeaway owner, or service provider, having the right systems in place can make a big difference to how many enquiries you receive.

Why These Tools Exist

Many local businesses rely heavily on word of mouth and social media, but often miss opportunities due to slow responses, missed calls, or lack of a clear online presence.

These tools are simple starting points to highlight those gaps and help you improve them.

Common questions

Are these tools really free?

Yes. Every tool here is completely free to use, with no sign-up and nothing to pay. Most run entirely in your browser.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up, login or download. Open a tool and start using it straight away.

Who are these tools for?

UK trades, local service businesses and small companies who want to improve their online presence, win more enquiries and save time on admin.

Want to Improve Your Online Presence?

These tools are a starting point. The real results come from combining a strong website, fast replies, and consistent reviews.
