The six things we do every month to keep Tradeflo clients ranking

There's a lie the website industry has told tradesmen for years: pay us once, we'll build you a lovely site, and the customers will roll in. They won't. A website you build and forget is a shop with the shutters down. Getting found — and staying found — is monthly work, every month, forever. That's not a sales pitch; it's just how Google and the AI assistants work. So here's exactly what that monthly work is, with nothing behind the curtain.

1. A scored audit, every month

Once a month we re-score your whole presence — site, Google profile, reviews, local SEO, AI visibility — into one number out of a hundred, and send you the chart showing where you moved. You don't have to interpret anything. You see the line, and you see the next move.

2. A weekly Search Console digest

Google tells you, for free, exactly what people typed to find you — most tradesmen never look. We look for you, every week, and turn it into three page updates worth approving. You tap yes, we make the change.

3. A weekly AI visibility check

We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini the questions your customers ask — 'best [trade] in [county]' — and track your Share of AI Voice over time. It's the newest front, and it's wide open. Being early here is worth more than being early to Google was.

4. A 20-keyword rank tracker

Twenty of the searches that actually bring you work, tracked weekly and charted. Local SEO is a slow climb and the chart keeps everyone honest about it — no vanity, just the real trend.

5. Reviews, handled by text

A new review lands; we draft a reply in your voice and text it to you; you tap approve, it posts. Recent, replied-to reviews are the single biggest lever in the map pack — and this turns staying on top of them into a ten-second job between calls.

6. A local article a month — and the trade network

One genuinely useful, local article each month with branded graphics, drafted for you to approve. And we keep your Trusted Trades connections live — the referrals and backlinks that compound quietly for years. You get a monthly report: referrals sent, backlinks added, trades connected.

Hire this as separate suppliers — an SEO consultant, a Google profile manager, directory listings — and you're past €2,000 a month before you've made a cup of tea. Tradeflo Growth does the lot for €499.

None of it is magic and none of it is overnight. It's the unglamorous, repeated, every-month work that the lad outranking you is either paying a fortune for or — more likely — has Tradeflo doing quietly in the background while he's on the tools.
