“I am starting my third year of advertising with Handylocals.com and they have been a real asset in getting my site visited on the major search engines.

The site is easy to edit and update and the handylocals team take great care to make sure the key words and search categories are effective. The online presence is supported by a great deal of networking so that advertisers are also promoted face to face whenever the team spots an opportunity. This approach has introduced some useful contacts which in turn have led to new clients. I have also found local services on the site for jobs at home and thanks to the rating system have always had a good experience.

The Handylocals team clearly takes pleasure in helping good businesses to find each other and they are certainly a pleasure to do business with.” Ian Sasse - Agents of Change.

“Advertising on the Handylocals.com directory has been an excellent way to grow my business and gain a web presence. New clients who find me on the directory generally become regular customers and then word of mouth recommendations bring me further clients. Although I don’t have a website Handylocals achieve amazing search engine results for my business. Best value for money advertising I have done. The Handylocals team are friendly, approachable and take a particular interest in new businesses. They have invited me to enjoyable events where I can also network with potentially new clients.” Donna Kirby - Mobile Foot health practitioner, Leicester.

“As with all advertising, I was sceptical at first, BUT only a week after going live on the Handylocals.com directory I received my first job. It more than paid for my initial investment for the year and just think – a whole years free advertising to come! Depending on the type of service you offer your investment could be returned many times over with your first client. It is a fantastic service, great search engine results and with a personal touch. Well done Handylocals.” Richard Barr - Ultimate Handyman Services, Leeds.

Claire Williamson - Stained glass artist

I’m entering my third year of advertising with Handylocals and the benefits have been great. They have achieved excellent search engine positions for my business and being on the directory has brought me new clients. I can edit my own advert or the Handylocals team do it for me. I only have to call or email.
I moved premises last year and my details online were changed immediately. The handylocals team also keep me informed about events which may be of interest to me for networking purposes. Claire Williamson - Stained glass artist.

Geoff Blakey Enterprises, South Yorkshire

I’ve advertised on Handylocals.com since the directory was first established.I have been impressed by the great search engine positions they have achieved for my business and I have received a steady flow of customers. An important feature of the site is the recommendation system. My clients are able to register a vote relating to the service they have received. I also need to promote my services in the most cost effective ways and Handylocals ticks all the boxes. Geoff Blakey Enterprises, South Yorkshire.

“The recommendation system gives people confidence to call” Stuart Ross, Electrician, Blaby, Leicestershire.

Stuart Wilson, Handyman Services, Leicester

“I began advertising on the Handylocals.com directory 2 years ago. At the time, I did not have a presence anywhere on the internet. I don’t have a website but my business can be found consistently via the major search engines from my listing on the Handylocals directory. I receive a steady flow of local enquiries, plus some which would not have come my way through my conventional advertising. For example;

A lady from London, who owns a property in Leicester, arranged a meeting with me to organise work on her Leicester property.

A second lady contacted me from the USA to arrange for some work to be done for her elderly father, who lives in Leicester. I’ll also mention here that Handylocals.com helped me to save money on my utility bills. I can call the USA for free on my landline and can keep in touch with the above lady at no cost.

If anything changes in relation to my business, I can edit my advert on Handylocals.com or simply ring and the team will alter my details quickly to suit.

It’s the most affordable and effective advertising I do.” Stuart Wilson, Handyman Services, Leicester.

Sharon Snowball, Kingsley Practice, Narborough, Leicestershire.

“Setting up my new business, Kingsley Practice – Counselling, Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy meant that I needed to consider a variety of marketing strategies, within a limited budget. Advertising on Handylocals.com is simple and affordable and the team has also kept in touch with information about local networking events.

My business has achieved good search engine results with my Handylocals advert and I have booked in my first client!” Sharon Snowball, Kingsley Practice, Narborough, Leicestershire..
