East Kilbride: a lot of houses due a lot of work.
Toflin builds websites, runs social media and gets reviews coming in for trades and small businesses across East Kilbride, from Stewartfield to the Murray and Calderwood to Jackton.
Scotland’s first new town
East Kilbride was Scotland’s first new town, started in 1947. Everybody jokes about the roundabouts, but those roundabouts are full of vans heading to jobs in the Murray, Calderwood, St Leonards, Westwood, Greenhills, Lindsayfield and Stewartfield.
A lot of EK’s houses were built in the fifties and sixties, and they’re all due the same things: roofs, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, rewires. There’s a huge amount of work. There’s also a huge amount of competition.
Calderglen at the weekend, the Centre on a Saturday, Hairmyres at all hours. EK is a busy town, and folk here are on their phones like everywhere else. Your page needs to be where they’re looking.
Neighbourhoods, not just the town
People in EK think in neighbourhoods. ‘Joiner Stewartfield’ or ‘roofer Greenhills’ won’t get searched as often as ‘East Kilbride’, but when they are, the trade that mentions them wins. A website that names the areas you work in, with photos of jobs there, does a lot of quiet work for you.
With so many trades in East Kilbride, reviews are what separate you. I’ll set up a system so every finished job gets asked, without you having to remember.

Questions from East Kilbride businesses
There are loads of trades in EK. How do I stand out?
Real photos, recent reviews, and being specific about what you do and where. Most of your competition does none of those well.
Do you run Facebook ads in East Kilbride?
Yes. Ads can be aimed at East Kilbride and the areas round it, so you’re not paying to reach folk in Glasgow.
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.
How long does a website take?
Usually a couple of weeks once I’ve got your photos and details. I’ll give you a date before we start.
