The Opportunity

Homeowners and developers are searching for builders online every single day

Most building businesses grow through word of mouth. That is fine until it is not. A strong digital presence means you are attracting quality enquiries consistently, picking the projects that suit you, and not having to take on every job that comes through the door just to keep the team busy.

85%

Trust
is the number one factor for homeowners choosing a builder, built through reviews and a professional online presence
Local

🏗️

Stop competing on price, start competing on reputation

Builders who win on price are always vulnerable to someone cheaper. Builders who win on reputation and trust command better rates and attract better clients. A strong digital presence builds that reputation proactively, not just through the slow accumulation of word of mouth.

🎯

Choose the work you take on

When enquiries come from your own digital channels, you get to choose. Want more extensions and less small maintenance jobs? More commercial work? More high-value new builds? The right digital strategy attracts the specific type of work you want rather than whatever happens to come through referrals.

📈

Build a pipeline, not just a project

Building businesses that grow with confidence are the ones that always have work in the pipeline. Digital marketing builds that pipeline consistently so you are never scrambling for the next job when the current one finishes.

Who We Work With

For building businesses at every stage of growth

Whether you are a sole trader just starting out or an established construction company looking to attract a better calibre of project, we build the strategy around your goals.

01

Sole traders and small building firms

Owner-operators and small teams looking to build a consistent pipeline of quality enquiries, reduce reliance on word of mouth, and stop competing purely on price.

02

Growing construction companies

Established businesses with a team looking to scale, expand into new areas, take on larger projects, or attract commercial clients alongside domestic work.

03

Specialist builders

Builders with a specialism in extensions, loft conversions, new builds, renovations, or commercial construction who want to build visibility for that specialism and attract the projects they do best.

04

Builders tired of poor-quality leads

If you have spent money on directories or lead platforms and ended up with time-wasters, tyre-kickers, and unrealistic budgets, we build channels that attract serious clients directly to you.

How It Works

Simple. Transparent. No jargon.

We make digital marketing straightforward so you can focus on running your sites and managing your team, not trying to work out what your marketing is doing.

Free consultation and audit

We look at your current online presence, understand your business, the types of projects you want more of, and your service area, then identify where the biggest opportunities are to generate better enquiries.

2

Tailored strategy

We recommend the right mix of channels for your goals and budget. For builders this often means local SEO and Google Ads working together, with social media to build credibility and showcase your work to a wider local audience.

We get to work

Campaigns go live, your site gets optimised, and your online presence starts attracting the right kind of enquiries. Everything is handled for you while you focus on delivering quality work on site.

Grow, refine, repeat

We report clearly each month on what your marketing is delivering, refine what is working, and build a consistent pipeline of quality project enquiries month after month.

FAQs

Common questions

Something not answered here? Get in touch and we will get straight back to you.

Can digital marketing help me attract higher-value projects? +
Yes, and this is one of the most common goals we work towards with building businesses. The key is targeting the right search terms and geographic areas, and making sure your website and ad copy position you as a quality builder rather than just a cheap one. We also help you build the credibility signals that higher-value clients look for before committing to a large project, including reviews, accreditations, and a portfolio of completed work.
I get most of my work through referrals. Why do I need digital marketing? +
Referrals are great but they are unpredictable, and they do not let you choose the type of work you take on. Digital marketing gives you a consistent, controllable source of enquiries that runs alongside referrals rather than replacing them. It also means that when referrals slow down, whether due to seasonality, a quiet spell, or just bad luck, you are not scrambling to find the next job.
How do I filter out time-wasters and unrealistic budgets? +
This is one of the most important things we focus on for building businesses. Through a combination of the right keywords, negative keyword management in Google Ads, well-written landing pages that communicate your positioning, and a website that pre-qualifies visitors, we significantly improve the quality of enquiries rather than just the volume. You should be spending your time quoting for real projects, not chasing dead ends.
Do you work with builders outside of Kent? +
Yes. WAX Goodman is based in Sidcup, Kent, but we work with building businesses across the UK. Digital marketing does not require us to be in the same location as you. If you are based anywhere in England, Scotland, or Wales and want to grow your building business online, get in touch.
Am I tied into a long-term contract? +
No. Everything is monthly rolling with no long-term tie-ins. If you want to stop, you simply give notice and are responsible for the current month. We would rather keep clients through results than contracts, and around 80% have stayed with us since 2024.
