What our clients say
Don't just take our word for it — hear from service businesses we've helped grow.
"Strive Scale helped us completely refresh our website and also put a proper direction in place for our SEO and social media. They've been really easy to work with from the start — always responsive, always keeping things moving, and you're never left waiting around for updates. Based in Leicester, and honestly they've been a solid support throughout the whole process. Would happily recommend them if you're looking for website design or social media marketing that's actually well thought through and delivered properly."

Questions, answered.
I get most work through referrals — do I really need SEO?
Referrals are great but they're a single point of failure. SEO builds an inbound lead system that compounds independently of your network. Most builders we work with double enquiry volume within 6 months.
How much does SEO cost for a builder?
Local SEO retainers typically start from £750/month and scale with the size of your service area. Every package includes Google Business Profile, citations, content and reporting.
Will I rank for 'builder near me'?
That's the goal. We optimise for the Google map pack (top 3 results) which is what 'near me' searches trigger. Movement typically happens within 60–120 days.
What kind of builders is this best for?
Residential extensions, refurbishments, loft conversions, new builds and small commercial. Anyone whose average project value is above £5k.
