Carpenters Northern Beaches – New WordPress Website Design with SEO

wordpress website with seo

Trade website for Northern Beaches carpentry business.

The team at Carpenters Northern Beaches had designed a simple WIX website themselves.  Unfortunately, due to their lack of SEO knowledge and the limitations of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) websites like WIX, Square Space, Weebly, etc, they would never have achieved a page one ranking on Google. This is where I was able to assist them.

It was important that the website for this Northern Beaches trade business ranked on page 1 of Google as this was to be the primary source of new customer enquiries. To this end, I recommended a WordPress website.

Website copywriting

This client also required assistance with writing content for your new website of which I was happy to assist.

To this end, I interviewed them over the phone on several occasions to gain an understanding of their business and the services they offered.  With this information, I will be able to write the necessary content for all pages on their website, including details of the projects they had completed for the blog.

My copywriting services have the additional benefit of the ability to ensure the content contains all the relevant keywords and is highly optimised for search engine ranking.

Website copywriting is just another service I offer clients where required.

Logo design

Carpenters Northern Beaches didn’t have a logo so brand development was included in the development of their website.  They wanted a clean and fresh colour scheme that was indicative of the lifestyle of their Northern Beaches customers.  With this in mind, we opted for a cool minty green colour and warm earthy light brown tones.  Additionally, it was important that the logo clearly represented what they did and all guesswork was removed.

Google Maps (Google My Business) listing setup

Google has been aggressively pushing local search, particularly Google Maps (Google My Business). You may notice Google Maps listings appearing at the top of local search results where previously it was further down the page or in the right sidebar. When a business is targeting local customers, it’s paramount that you have a Google My Business (Google Maps) listing.

To enhance the local exposure of the Carpenters Northern Beaches brand, I also set up a Google My Business listing for them.
