Why Woodworking
Why I Only Work With Woodworking Businesses
Most local SEO freelancers chase plumbing, roofing and HVAC, where every city is crowded with competitors and agencies. I chose one niche and learned it deeply.
I know how your customers search
Homeowners search "custom kitchen cabinets near me" or "built-in wardrobes in [city]", not your trade name. Your profile and pages are built around those searches.
Your strategy fits your trade
Woodwork sells on photos, past projects and reviews. A plumbing or roofing playbook doesn't fit, so I don't use one.

FAQ
Local SEO Questions
What is local SEO for a woodworking business?
Local SEO is the work that makes your business show up when people nearby search Google or Google Maps for what you build, like "cabinet maker near me" or "custom furniture in Leeds". It covers your Google Business Profile, your website, your reviews and your listings on other directories.
How much does local SEO cost?
My local SEO plans cost $400 to $750 per month: Starter at $400, Growth at $550 and Authority at $750. Prices are in USD. I recommend a plan after a free audit of your profile and your local competitors.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Fixes to your Google Business Profile can make a difference within weeks, but rankings usually build over several months. Busy cities and established competitors take longer. I won't promise a timeline before I've audited your market.
What is the best Google Business Profile category for a cabinet maker?
Pick the primary category that matches the work that earns you the most. If most of your income is custom cabinetry, "Cabinet maker" is usually the right primary category. Then add secondary categories such as "Kitchen remodeler", "Furniture maker" or "Woodworker" only for services you really offer. Your primary category has the biggest effect on which searches you show up for.
I don't have a showroom. Can I still rank on Google Maps?
Yes. Most woodworkers work from a workshop or go to the customer. Google lets you set up a service-area business: your address stays hidden and you choose the towns and cities you serve.
Do you work with woodworking businesses in the UK?
Yes. I work with businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom. UK profiles use UK categories and directories, such as "Joiner" and listings on Yell and Checkatrade.
Do I need a website for local SEO?
You can rank on Google Maps with a strong Google Business Profile alone, but a website with service and location pages helps you rank higher, in more areas, and gives customers a place to see your past work. I can optimize the website you already have.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and anyone who guarantees #1 is guessing. What I do guarantee is the work: a fully optimized profile, clean citations, a better website and a clear report every month.
Why do you only work with woodworking businesses?
Most local SEO freelancers target plumbing, roofing and HVAC, so those markets are crowded. I chose one niche and learned it deeply: its Google categories, how its customers search, and what makes them choose one workshop over another.
