Shotts lights the world
That was the slogan when the Shotts Iron Company was making lamp posts for half the Empire. These days the town’s better known for the Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band, world champions sixteen times.
Shotts is high up and exposed, halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The weather takes its toll on roofs, gutters, windows and fences, so there’s always work for trades up here.
Customers want somebody who’ll turn up
A lot of Shotts customers have been let down by firms from further away who quote and never come back. If you’re local and you turn up, that’s your selling point. Put it on your website and let your reviews say it for you.
Folk in Harthill, Salsburgh and Allanton usually search ‘Shotts’, or sometimes ‘Wishaw’ or ‘Airdrie’. Your Google profile should cover all three.

Questions from Shotts businesses
What should my reviews say?
Whatever the customer wants, but it helps when they mention the job and the area. I’ll give you a simple message to send that gently prompts that.
Can I just do a Google profile and skip the website?
You can start there. It’s the most important single thing for local searches. A simple landing page is a cheap next step when you’re ready.
Do you charge per lead or take a cut of my jobs?
No. No lead fees and no commission. You pay a set price, and every price is published on the pricing page.
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.
Fancy a chat about it?
No hard sell. Ring me, or book a time that suits and I’ll call you.
