Websites & SEO for Painters and Decorators

A fast, honest website that shows your work, plus local SEO so homeowners and landlords find you before they find a competitor.

TradesRank builds custom websites and runs local SEO for UK painters, decorators and wallpaper hangers. Pay monthly for the website alone, or choose the full package that adds Local SEO, Google Business Profile work and AI search visibility. Both are built for one outcome: more quote requests from the areas you actually work in.

This is what your site could look like on a customer's phone

Ashgrove & Hart is a concept demo we built to show a decorator's site: one page per service, a clear quote button, and prep and finish explained in plain words. It is not a real client, and the phone number and prices in it are placeholders. Open the full demo site to scroll through it yourself, or tap the other tabs to see sites we built and run for real trades.

Why decorators lose work online

Decorating is a trust and taste job. People want to see finished rooms, check you are tidy and reliable, and get a price without a long phone call. Most decorator websites fall down in the same four places.

One page for everything

Painting, wallpapering and spraying crammed onto one Services page. Google cannot tell which search you should appear for.

Slow, heavy templates

Photo-heavy sites on bloated builders crawl on a phone, and phone is where most people browse colour ideas.

Invisible outside your postcode

You travel across several boroughs, but your site only mentions where you live.

No proof of the work

No real photos, no real reviews, no named areas. Customers hire the decorator who looks real.

What we build for decorators

Everything is aimed at turning a local search into a quote request.

A page for every service

Interior, exterior, wallpapering, woodwork, spraying and period restoration. Each answers the questions customers actually ask: prep, timing, protecting floors, how quoting works.

Local area pages

One page per borough or town you cover, with details specific to that area. Where conservation-area rules may apply to exterior colours, we flag it and check the council's current guidance first.

A gallery of real jobs

Before and after photos, compressed to load fast, with plain descriptions of what was done and where. Only real work goes in. It grows as you add jobs.

Quote buttons for phones

Tap to call, WhatsApp for sending photos of a room, and a short quote form. Most people want to send a picture of the walls and get a rough idea.

SEO and AI search

On the full package: Google Business Profile, local business markup, and pages structured so Google and AI assistants can quote you. Reviews are always real and always yours.

Fast by default

Built in Astro, not a heavy page builder, so pages load quickly on a mobile connection and there is nothing to keep updating.

Pay Monthly website or full SEO package?

If you already get most work by word of mouth and just need a proper site to send people to, Pay Monthly is usually enough. If you want enquiries from people who have never heard of you, you need the SEO as well.

Website + basic SEO

Pay Monthly Website

£150 setup + £99/month

  • Custom-coded Astro website

Proof we know how this works

Built and ranked for The Tree Amigos

We built the website for The Tree Amigos Landscaping and Gardening Ltd from scratch, including local area pages and schema, and have worked on their search visibility since. It is a different trade, but it is the same approach we would use for a decorator: real photos, one page per service, one page per area, and nothing invented.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website for a painter and decorator cost?

We have two routes. The Pay Monthly website is £150 setup plus £99 a month, with no contract or minimum term, and gives you a custom-coded site with 10 service-location pages, basic SEO, hosting and maintenance. The Full SEO package is £500 for the first month and £500 a month after that, with no contract and a 14-day notice period. It includes the website build plus ongoing Local SEO and AI visibility. The Pay Monthly route includes basic SEO but not an ongoing SEO campaign.

Do I need SEO as well as a website?

A website only gets you found if people can reach it. Most decorating enquiries start with a search like "painter and decorator near me" or "wallpaper hanger in Bromley", and the top results are usually the Google Map Pack and a handful of local sites. A fast, well-structured website gets you into the running. Ongoing Local SEO is what keeps you there. If budget is tight, many decorators start on Pay Monthly and add SEO later.

How long does SEO take to bring in decorating enquiries?

Expect months, not weeks. New pages usually take a few months to settle in Google, and competitive searches in London can take longer. We do not promise page-one rankings or a set number of enquiries. We show you what is ranking and what is moving every month.

Can my website rank in the boroughs and towns I cover, not just where I live?

Yes. A single-page site only competes in its home area. We build a separate page for each area you actively work in, with real details about that area and your work there. We do not copy and paste the same text with the town name swapped, because Google treats that as thin content.

What about interior, exterior and wallpapering work? Do they need separate pages?

Yes. Interior painting, exterior painting, wallpapering, spraying kitchens and woodwork are different searches with different customers. Each gets its own page, so the right visitor lands on the right service and Google can tell what you offer.

I don't have many photos of finished jobs. Is that a problem?

It is a common starting point. Clear phone photos of your real work, ideally before and after, beat stock images every time. We will tell you which shots to take on your next few jobs. We do not use stock photos or invented projects and pass them off as your work.

Can I move from Pay Monthly to the full SEO package later?

Yes. The Pay Monthly site is built on the same Astro foundation as our full package, so there is nothing to rebuild when you add SEO. Tell us when you are ready and we will sort out the switch.
