Regional trades marketing agencies: North, Midlands and South

How the regions were drawn

North covers Scotland and the North of England. Midlands takes in Derby and the West Midlands. South runs from London through Kent, Surrey, Sussex and the South West. Where an agency does not state its base, we have used the locations of its published case studies or a trade listing, and said so.

The agencies are presented in a single national order, with each entry labelled by region, rather than ranked within regions. The order reflects three things: whether the agency works with trades only, whether it publishes client results, and whether a visitor can find a price. National reach was not penalised; several of these firms take clients anywhere in the UK.

This piece deliberately leaves out the agencies covered in our general 2026 ranking, apart from Leads 4 Local, Digital 4 Trades and Market Maestro, which earn their place as regional anchors.

1. Home Improvements Digital Marketing (North: Scotland)

Best for: Established renovation and extension builders in Scotland wanting a full system

The agency run by Ben Laing does not state its base, but its published case studies sit in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fife. It sells a digital marketing system for established builders, explicitly rejecting high volumes of random leads in favour of quality enquiries, according to its website.

Services cover SEO, Google Ads, authority video, multiple conversion-focused websites, social media, reputation management, lead filtering and monthly reporting. Revenue-growth style results are published for renovation builders, an asbestos firm and a loft and garage conversion company. Package names are visible, prices are not.

2. JDR Group (Midlands: Derby)

Best for: Larger home improvement companies wanting HubSpot-driven inbound marketing

JDR Group describes itself as the UK's leading inbound agency for home improvement businesses and a top HubSpot partner, according to its website. It grew out of business coaching and works with kitchen and bathroom designers, window and door specialists, garden room providers, landscapers and renewable installers.

Pricing guides are linked but no figures are shown on the page. Published results include traffic and revenue growth for a B2C home improvement company.

3. Roofing SEO Services (South: East Ham, London)

Best for: Roofers wanting a single-trade SEO specialist with town exclusivity

Founded in 2012 by Dr M Mansoor Siddique, SEO Consultancy Ltd trades as Roofing SEO Services and works only with roofers. It writes one roofer per town into the agreement, reports on booked jobs, and publishes monthly packages from £499 to £2,599 depending on local competition, according to its website. The UK team does not subcontract and clients keep all assets on 30 days' notice.

4. Local Leads Accelerator (North: Manchester case studies)

Best for: Electricians wanting map-pack visibility plus missed-call automation

The agency does not state a base; its published before-and-after ranking results come from a cleaning business and a carpentry business in Manchester and Kent. Electricians are its primary trade, with joinery, cleaning, waste removal and exterior services also listed.

It blends local SEO with Google Local Services Ads inside a 12-week programme, measures cost per booked job rather than rankings, and offers missed-call text-back. No prices are published. See our Local Leads Accelerator profile for the full picture.

5. Leads 4 Local (South: Tooting, London)

Best for: South London tradespeople wanting a priced local SEO retainer

The Tooting agency publishes monthly tiers of £349, £599 and £999 and says it aims for top-three Google Maps positions within months. Its client base mixes roofers, plumbers, electricians and landscapers with dentists, estate agents and restaurants, and no case studies are published.

6. Digital 4 Trades (North: Liverpool)

Best for: North West tradespeople wanting a small, personal web-and-social agency without contracts

Based at Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool (a DesignRush listing gives Frodsham, Cheshire), Digital 4 Trades is a small in-house team working with electricians, plumbers, roofers, joiners, locksmiths, heating engineers, garden services and groundworkers. Its line is 'you stay on the tools, we do the marketing'.

It says it will not hold a website hostage: sites are bought outright or paid over about a year, with no pay-monthly rental, and content management starts from a couple of hundred pounds a month. Case studies cover a roofing firm and a taxi firm.

7. Market Maestro (South: Epsom, Surrey)

Best for: Contractors wanting to move from domestic to commercial work via LinkedIn

Listed in Epsom by DesignRush and working UK-wide, Market Maestro runs LinkedIn outreach for construction firms chasing contracts of £50,000 and above, with a four-stage 'Hi-Vis Method'. Published starting prices are £850 a month for outreach and £1,100 for wider management. A decorating contractor case study covers tendered commercial work.

8. Agass Marketing Solutions (South West: Weston-super-Mare)

Best for: South West sole traders wanting a low-risk fixed-price website

Joseph Agass's firm serves the Weston-super-Mare, Bristol and Somerset areas and shows a Dutch company registration. Its pitch is a free website draft in 48 hours, payment only if you like it, and client ownership of the site and domain, according to its website.

Websites are £499 one-off, or £699 on WordPress, with optional £30 a month hosting and changes. Case studies span heating, fencing, roofline, locksmith and glazing, kitchens and bathrooms, and carpentry clients. Our Agass Marketing Solutions briefing has more.

9. Get A Trades Website (North: Edinburgh)

Best for: Scottish and UK sole traders wanting a founder-built website with published prices

Edinburgh-based and founder-run, Get A Trades Website publishes quick-start sites at £149, £299 and £499, tailored builds from around £750, an SEO tune-up at £39 a month and managed SEO from £149 a month, according to its website. The client owns the site and copy is written from the client's own notes and photos.

Its founder also runs a Scottish trades directory. Proof is one plumbing and tiling case study plus live client sites across surfacing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry and handyman trades.

Region by region

Should you pick an agency near you?

The honest answer is that proximity matters less than it used to. Most of these firms work remotely and several, including Roofing SEO Services and Market Maestro, are national businesses that happen to have a postcode in the South.

Where a local base does help is in knowing which towns to target. Agass in Somerset and Digital 4 Trades in Liverpool can name the suburbs a roofer should rank in without a briefing. For a sole trader, that saved explanation is worth something.

For larger firms, the question is capability rather than geography, and JDR Group or Home Improvements Digital Marketing are the two here built for that scale. Whichever region you are in, our note on how trades agencies win their own leads is a useful sanity check before a first call.
