One wide circle for the whole coast
A Hove van cannot take every Worthing call at peak time. Leave out the streets you cannot reach and let the campaign focus on places where you finish the job the same day.

Home services marketing for Brighton heating, plumbing and electrical firms
Boiler dead in a Hanover terrace at 7am is not the same customer as a Worthing bathroom quote.
Brighton trade work depends on drive time and on what a van can finish in a day. HeyLead runs Google Ads, local SEO, Facebook and Instagram ads and web pages for heating, plumbing, electrical, pest control and restoration firms in Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Worthing and Lewes. Urgent call-outs and planned jobs get separate campaigns, and we report booked jobs in pounds. Ask for the free audit and send us your current service area.

The local picture
Home services and trades marketing in Brighton: what to know
Your market
What is different about Brighton
Brighton trades work with salt air, steep terraces and permit parking. Salt from the sea eats at outside flues, pipework and paintwork, so homes along the front create their own repair jobs. Converted Regency flats share pipes, and a leak can travel down through several floors.
That puts plumbers and restoration firms in the same conversation. Hollingbury, Patcham and Portslade have suburban houses with gardens, where loft, boiler and electrical upgrades are common.
Gas Safe registration is the proof heating engineers show, Part P covers home electrical work, and customers do ask to see both. The coast road between Hove and Worthing is slow at peak times, which matters when a customer wants someone within the hour.
Agency invoices add VAT at 20 per cent.
Your customers
How customers find you
An urgent search looks like burst pipe, no heating or emergency plumber Hove. It is often typed on a phone before nine, and the caller rings the first firm that looks credible. A planned job is slower.
Someone replacing a boiler or rewiring a house reads reviews and compares quotes over several days. Cold spells and storms push up urgent demand, and pest work follows its own seasons.
We build a separate page for each kind of search and match ad hours to when your phone is answered. We keep out DIY, parts and job-seeker searches. You get a report of booked jobs and their value in pounds, by area.
Our approach
How HeyLead runs it for you
We begin by switching off the areas your vans cannot reach in time, such as Portslade or Worthing if a second van is not available. Urgent and planned jobs then get separate Google Ads campaigns.
The urgent ones show a call button and run only in the hours someone answers. We set up your Google Business Profile (the listing on Google Maps) with the right trade categories. Facebook and Instagram promote service plans and seasonal offers.
Each area and job has its own page showing the registration you hold. Booked jobs are what we count, so the budget follows work that paid.

Common mistakes
Common home services and trades marketing mistakes in Brighton
Urgent and planned jobs in one advert
Someone with no heating wants a phone number now. Someone planning a new boiler wants proof and a comparison. Put both in one advert and each is served badly, and the form tells you little.
Price shoppers arriving from directory sites
A page that does not name your registration, the type of home and the areas you cover attracts people comparing on price alone. A specific page filters them out before they cost you a phone call.
How it works
From a map of your vans to booked jobs
- 01
Draw the map your vans can cover
Start with the suburbs your engineers reach on a normal day, such as Hove, Portslade and Shoreham. Add Worthing or Lewes only when a second van can back them up.
- 02
Separate urgent work from planned work
Two offers, two web pages, two sets of hours. The emergency number rings only when someone is there to answer, and planned jobs get a quote form.
- 03
Show the registration you hold
Gas Safe goes on heating pages and Part P on electrical pages, and only where your firm has the registration. Proof helps a caller decide to ring.
- 04
Count booked jobs and move the budget
We report the cost of each booked job and what the job was worth, by area, in pounds. Budget then moves to the areas that pay.

Our company 1800 CLEANER has worked with Martin for over two years now and we can attest he is one of the best. His technical knowledge in the SEO and online marketing space is second to none. But more importantly he cares. He listens and truly empathises with the client. The feeling of support that ensues is truly otherworldly. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

We'd worked with HeyLead before and knew what they were capable of - so when performance with another agency didn't meet expectations, coming back was an easy decision. The difference was immediate. They rebuilt our entire Google Ads account from scratch, fixed our tracking so we finally had accurate data, and gave us the confidence to scale our spend. What impressed us most was how well they understood our franchise expansion goals - they didn't just manage campaigns, they built a system that supports every new location we open. The leads are consistent, the quality is there, and the relationship is one we genuinely trust.

FAQs
Questions about home services and trades in Brighton
Plain answers for heating, plumbing, electrical and pest firms weighing up a marketing team in Brighton.
Which parts of Brighton can a trades campaign cover? expand_more
Whatever your engineers can reach the same day, which for many firms starts with Hove, Portslade and Shoreham. Worthing and Lewes are added once a van can cover them.
How do you handle emergency work? expand_more
It gets its own ad group, its own web page and ad hours that match when your phone is answered. We do not run emergency ads outside those hours. We also never promise response times in an advert.
Can you promote air conditioning as well as heating? expand_more
Yes, as a separate offer with its own pages and its own season. Sea-facing flats and offices often ask about cooling in summer, and people search for it differently from boiler work.
Do you put Gas Safe or Part P on the page? expand_more
Only where your firm holds the registration, and only as proof. HeyLead is the marketing team, not the registration holder. You give us the details and we show them accurately.
How do you tell booked jobs from calls? expand_more
Calls and forms are labelled by ad and suburb, and your diary or a simple weekly sheet shows what booked. The report gives the cost of each booked job in pounds, not a call count.
What do you need from me to start? expand_more
Access to your website, Google Business Profile and any ads account, the areas you cover and your Gas Safe or Part P details. We also ask which hours the phone is answered and how many jobs a week you can take. Anything missing we set up with you.
