Why has your Google traffic dropped?

In short

Google is sending fewer clicks to websites. More people now get their answer straight from an AI Overview at the top of the results, or from ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, without ever clicking through. They also search in longer, more descriptive ways. If your site was built for the old way of searching, it goes quiet.

You usually feel it before you see it. Fewer calls, fewer forms, quiet weeks that used to be busy. Then you open Google Analytics, see a line heading downwards, and still have no idea why.

The phone goes quiet and nobody can tell you why

Two things changed at the same time. Google started answering more questions itself, right at the top of the page, so people get what they need without clicking anyone's website. And a lot of people now start somewhere else entirely, asking ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot instead.

The way they ask changed too. Less "plumber Milton Keynes", more "my boiler keeps losing pressure every few days, who can fix it near me". Longer, more descriptive, more like talking to a person. A website built for the short version of that question does not get picked up by the long one.

Here is the frustrating part. A lot of the answers can be seen from the outside: how Google reads your website, how your Google listing looks, where you come up when local people search and what the AI tools say about you. Almost nobody has ever put that together or explained it to you in plain English, so you are running your business on a feeling instead of a fact.

Nobody has ever rung me about a ranking

In twenty years of working with trades and construction businesses, not one owner has ever rung me up worried about a ranking. They ring because the phone has gone quiet and they cannot work out why. Rankings and traffic are proxies. Enquiries landing and the phone ringing are the things that actually pay. That is where this audit starts, and it is why you will not get a score out of a hundred from us.

We look at your website through Google's eyes

Not a checklist of technical scores. A read of what your website is actually doing for your business right now, in three parts.

  • What's working

    Keep it, do not break it

    The pages and searches still bringing you enquiries, so you protect what is already earning.

    • Which of your pages actually get found, and what for
    • The local searches you already come up for
    • Where your reviews and Google Business Profile pull their weight
    • What your site already does better than the firms you bid against
  • What's not working

    Where the work is leaking away

    The specific things costing you clicks and enquiries, named in plain English, not agency language.

    • Pages that have quietly lost the rankings they used to hold
    • Every service lumped onto one page, so none of them rank
    • Contact details buried where a customer has to hunt for them
    • A blog that stopped three years ago and now dates the whole site
    • Pages too slow or too fiddly on a phone, where most of your customers are
    • Content an AI tool cannot read, quote or credit back to you
  • Where the opportunities are

    The work you are not being asked for

    Questions your customers are already asking that nobody at your end has answered yet.

    • The longer, problem-led questions people now type and speak
    • Work you do well that has no page of its own
    • Towns and areas you cover but never mention
    • What AI tools say when they are asked about your trade, and who they credit
    • Quick wins you can do this month, and the bigger jobs worth planning

Clarity, the size of the problem, and a plan

You come away knowing where you stand and what to do first. The roadmap is yours to keep, whether you ever work with us or not.

  • A clear picture of where you standWhere you show up, where you do not, and how visible you are in AI answers. No score out of a hundred, no jargon.
  • The scale of it, in real numbersWhere you come up for the searches that matter in your towns, and how often AI tools name you, checked live rather than guessed at. Give us read-only access to Search Console and Analytics afterwards and we can put it in clicks and enquiries.
  • A 90-day roadmapWhat to fix first, second and third, in order, with the quick wins kept separate from the bigger jobs.
  • A 30-minute review callWe go through the full audit with you on Teams, with a Trades & Construction Growth Specialist, answer your questions and make sure you know exactly what to do next.

    Within 48 hours: your biggest opportunities and what is holding the site back, in plain English, with an invite to book the full audit review call.

  3. 3

    Talk it through

    A 30-minute call on Teams with a Trades & Construction Growth Specialist, going through the detail and your 90-day roadmap, so you finish it knowing what to do first.

We only work with trades and construction

Plumbers, heating engineers, builders, contractors, civils firms and the businesses that supply them. That is the whole client list, and it is deliberate.

Marketing, software and AI are all delivered in house, by people who work in this sector every day. So your audit is read by someone who knows what a quiet fortnight costs you and what a good enquiry looks like, not by someone doing restaurants one week and roofers the next.

  • Free: the audit and the call cost nothing, and we never ask for card details
  • No obligation: the 90-day roadmap is yours whether you work with us or not
  • Done by people who only work with trades and construction

Before you ask for it

Is the Website and AI Readiness Audit really free?

Yes. The audit and the call to walk you through it cost nothing, and we do not ask for card details. We do it because a clear picture of where a business stands is the most useful thing we can hand an owner, and because some of the owners we hand it to go on to work with us. Most do not, and that is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just your website address. The free audit is built from what we can see from the outside: your website, your Google listing, live searches in your area and what the AI tools say. If you want a deeper review afterwards, we will ask for read-only access to your Google Search Console and Google Analytics, which takes a couple of clicks at your end and shows what people actually searched for before they found you. We never need your website passwords, your card details or your bank details.

How long does the audit take, and what do I actually get?

Your audit lands in your inbox within 48 hours of you asking for it: your biggest opportunities and what is holding the site back, in plain English. It comes with an invite to book the full audit review call, which runs about 30 minutes on Microsoft Teams with a Trades & Construction Growth Specialist who walks you through the whole audit and your 90-day roadmap.

Will I be sold to?

Not on the call. The call is to walk you through the findings and the 90-day roadmap, and the roadmap is yours whether you work with us or not. Plenty of it you can do yourself or hand to whoever looks after your website. If you want us to run it for you, ask, and we will tell you what that costs.

Do I need Google Search Console set up?

No. The free audit is built from what we can see from the outside, so it works without it. Search Console holds the record of what people searched for before they landed on your site, so it is where a deeper review starts afterwards, with read-only access. If it is not set up yet, we will show you how to connect it.

What happens after the review call?

Nothing you have not agreed to. You keep the audit and the 90-day roadmap. If you want to run it yourself, run it. If you want help, we will talk about what that looks like and what it costs. We will not chase you.
