Traditional Masonry

A family run granite and quartz worktop specialist in North Shields, with twenty years of beautiful work and a website that showed none of it.

Stone & Masonry sector North Shields location Website + local SEO project

The short version

The problem

Years of high end worktop installations and nowhere to show them. The old site buried the gallery and gave no reason to request a quote.

What we built

A full rebuild with the project gallery at the centre, material pages for granite and quartz, and location pages across North Tyneside.

The outcome

The gallery became the main route to a quote request, and the material pages brought in searches the old site never touched.

What the business needed

Worktops are bought on how they look, and almost nobody buys without seeing examples first.

  • Show the work properly. The photography already existed. It just needed a site that put it front and centre instead of three clicks down.
  • Separate the materials. Granite and quartz are different searches with different buyers, so each needed its own page rather than one combined one.
  • Cover the area. A page for each town in North Tyneside, written rather than duplicated, so the business could rank beyond its own postcode.
  • Make quoting easy. A clear route from looking at a finished kitchen to asking what one would cost, on a phone, in a few taps.

What we would do again

Three things from this project that apply to most trades.

  • Lead with the work. For anything visual, the gallery is the sales pitch. Everything else is supporting material.
  • Split the searches. One page covering every material or service ranks for none of them.
  • Write the location pages properly. Twenty duplicated pages hurt you. Six real ones win work.
