Client:
Veramut Ltd – Exterior Rendering Specialists
Location: Bournemouth / Dorset
The Goal - SEO for Trade Businesses
From Local Contractor to Market Authority
The client wanted more local enquiries for:
Property rendering
External wall coatings
Spray cork render
House renovation
They did not want “more traffic.”
They wanted better jobs from serious homeowners.
Most trade businesses rely on directories, referrals, or paid ads.
This client chose a different route. We built a structured SEO strategy that positioned a Bournemouth rendering specialist as a visible local authority for high-intent searches.
No gimmicks. No volume chasing.
Just clear service architecture, strong local positioning, and long-term digital infrastructure. The result? Better visibility. Better perception. Better enquiries.
The Problem
When homeowners search:
“property renderer in Bournemouth”
Google shows:
Sponsored ads
Google Map listings
Organic results
AI overview summaries
If your business is not visible in these areas, you are invisible.
The client had a strong offline reputation, but their online visibility was not strong enough to dominate their area.
Here is how we usually approach the SEO for a trade business
Our Strategy (Simple but Powerful)
We focused on 4 key areas.
Clear Service Pages (No Confusion)
Most trade websites make one big mistake:
They put all services on one page.
We created separate, focused pages for:
External Rendering
Render Repair
Cork Spray Render
Silicone & Monocouche Render
House Renovation
Why?
Because Google ranks pages, not businesses.
Each page was built to match what customers actually search for.
Strong Local Signals
We made sure Google clearly understood:
They operate in Bournemouth
They work in Dorset
They serve the surrounding towns
This included:
Location mentions in headings
Local project examples
Area-specific content
Structured page hierarchy
No keyword stuffing. Just clarity.
Authority Through Real Work
Trade businesses win trust through proof.
We added:
Project case studies
Before & after photos
Clear service explanations
Guarantees and experience
Google rewards real businesses showing real work.
Technical SEO Foundation
Behind the scenes, we ensured:
Fast loading pages
Proper page structure (H1, H2, etc.)
Clean URLs
Meta titles written for search intent
Internal linking between services
No tricks. No shortcuts. Just proper foundations.
The Result
When someone searches:
“property renderer in Bournemouth”
The business now appears:
Inside Google’s AI Overview summary
In organic top results
With strong relevance signals
This increases:
Trust
Visibility
Click-through rate
Quality enquiries
Most importantly, it positions them as a serious local authority, not just another tradesman.
Why This Matters for Trade Businesses
Most trade businesses rely on:
Checkatrade
MyBuilder
Word of mouth
Paid ads
But long-term growth comes from:
✅ Owning your local Google visibility
✅ Ranking for your main services
✅ Becoming the obvious choice
SEO for trades is not about blogging every week.
It is about:
Clear services
Strong local targeting
Showing real work
Technical structure done properly
The VIS Marketing Approach
We do not chase traffic.
We build:
Structured service pages
Local authority positioning
High-intent keyword visibility
Sustainable organic growth
That is why this client now competes—and appears— together with the biggest names in their field.
