Lanark trades: get found before the Glasgow firms do.
Toflin builds websites, runs social media and gets reviews coming in for trades and small businesses in Lanark, Kirkfieldbank, Carstairs and the villages round about.
Old stone, good work, picky customers
Lanark has New Lanark on the doorstep, the Falls of Clyde and the Loch. Plenty of the houses in and around the town are old sandstone buildings, and a fair few are listed or in conservation areas. That means specialist work: lime pointing, sash windows, slate roofs, proper joinery.
Customers looking for that kind of work are specific. They search for exactly what they need, and they’re willing to pay for someone who knows what they’re doing. If your website just says ‘all aspects of building work’, they’ll scroll past you.
Then there’s Lanimer week in June, when the whole town turns out. If your van’s in the procession or you’re sponsoring something, that’s a post. Photos from the day will get more likes than any advert you’ll ever pay for.
Being the name that comes up
Lanark is the main town for a big rural area, so people from Carstairs, Carnwath, Kirkfieldbank, Hyndford Bridge and Douglas search for ‘Lanark’ when they want a trade. That’s good news if you’re based here. It means one well set up Google profile and a decent website can cover a lot of ground.
What usually holds Lanark trades back is that their profile has five reviews from 2021 and no photos. Fix that and you’re often in the top three on the map within a few months.

Questions from Lanark businesses
Can you help me get more work on older stone houses?
Yes. If that’s your specialism, we build pages around it, with your photos of lime work, sash windows or slate, so the right customers find you and the wrong ones don’t.
I’m busy enough. Why bother?
Being busy now doesn’t mean being busy in February. Steady marketing means you get to pick the better jobs instead of taking whatever comes.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. You send photos from your phone and answer a few questions. I do the rest, and you approve everything before it goes live.
How much does it cost?
Every price is on the pricing page, with no ‘get a quote’. A one-page site is the cheapest place to start, and it includes your domain and the first year’s hosting.
Let’s get you found.
Every price is published. Pick one, or call and ask me which one makes sense for you.
