- How it started
I didn't set out to work in home services.
Like most people who end up specialising in something, I got there by accident. My first few web design clients were a mix — a clothing boutique, a restaurant, a local accountant. The work was fine, but nothing clicked in a way that made me feel like I was actually solving a real problem.
Then I built a website for an appliance repair business. A one-man operation. The owner had been running it for eleven years and his entire pipeline was word-of-mouth and a listing in a local directory that barely anyone used anymore. He had no website, no Google Business Profile, nothing.
Three months after I launched his site and got his local SEO running, he called me. Not to report a problem — to tell me his phone hadn’t stopped ringing. That was the moment I understood what this kind of work actually does for someone.

“He had been invisible online for eleven years. Within ninety days of going live, his phone hadn’t stopped ringing. That was the moment I understood what this work actually does for someone.”
I’ve been working exclusively with home service businesses ever since.
- Why I specialize
Generalists build websites
Specialists build pipelines
There’s no shortage of people who can build a WordPress site. There are thousands of freelancers who will hand you a good-looking page, take their fee, and move on. What’s harder to find is someone who understands how a plumber’s customer actually searches at 10pm with a burst pipe, or what a homeowner types into Google after a storm damages their roof.
Home service customers search differently from any other kind of customer. They search with urgency, with location, with specificity. “Emergency plumber near me.” “Roof repair Dallas.” “HVAC service open now.” They’re not browsing — they’re deciding. And they call the first business they trust.
Three years of working in this one niche means I understand that search behavior better than any generalist could. Every layout decision I make, every keyword I target, and every page I structure is informed by how home service customers actually think when they need help.
- How I work
Senior-level execution
Without the agency overhead
Working remotely means my clients get the same quality of work they would expect from a senior developer or SEO consultant at a London or New York agency — without the overhead baked into the invoice. Clients in Houston, Manchester, Toronto, and Sydney get identical levels of attention, communication, and craft.
Many of my clients have been with me for over two years. That’s not because I lock them into contracts — I don’t. It’s because the results compound. The longer we work together, the stronger the site authority, the higher the rankings, and the more confident the client becomes about their online presence.
I take on a limited number of new clients at a time. Not as a sales tactic — but because doing this well takes focus, and I’d rather get outstanding results for a few businesses than average results for many.
