If you're getting lots of enquiries from hundreds of miles away your website simply isn't built right. Its easy to optimise your site geographically,.. using names of the towns/villages/area's you cover in your on-page text & keywords means you'll be top (or near) of the Google listing for these area's,.. people searching for places not mentioned in your keywords will find websites in their own area.

Dazmond,.. if you want a bit of help optimising your website I'd be happy to help you out, just drop me an e-mail.
and a top man mr jones is,true to his word,and does agood job. ;) ;) ;) ;)

if i pay the whole year package on vistaprint(pro version)it only works out at £7-50 a month!at the moment ive got the 1 month free trial so plenty of time to get it how i want it.

hi dazmond

there are so many bad web pages out there, if you are getting one, try to make it professional - and do NOT make it your self.

there are several template pages where you can buy a page for 30-90 USD, some you even get for free - check this page
http://www.oswd.org/
there are many pages like that.

then you outsource the job about customizing the web page to your specifications - should cost you about 50-100 USD

that's not much to get a professional web page, just try to make the pictures and text look good.

just a hint  ;D

Dazmond,.. just to get you started & thinking in the right direction, and avoiding a very common mistake,...

You'll have 5 or 6 pages probably,.. what will they be? Eg. "home" "about us" etc etc,.....

I actually think my English is pretty good, since I have never lived in a English country or have it as a native language :)

Just a hint,.. focus on your service, not you. Eg,..  instead of the normal "Home, About Us, What is WFP, Quotations, Contact Us" you should go for a combined & simplified "Home" page with some of the About us content included,.. then immediately start listing your services. You could have "Commercial Services", "Residential Services" etc etc, or perhaps "Window Cleaning" "Gutter Cleaning" "Pressure Washing" and then finally your "Contact Us" page.

Adding your contact number to every page is a good idea also,.. some ppl even put a contact form at the bottom of every page,.. make it as easy as possible for potential customers to contact you. :)
