Southampton

From the docks to the suburbs, customers search first and call second.

Southampton is a working city. The port and the cruise terminals bring marine engineers, riggers, cleaners and caterers plenty of trade, the two universities keep the letting agents, removal firms and takeaways in Portswood and Highfield busy, and the big residential suburbs of Shirley, Bitterne, Sholing and Woolston generate a steady demand for plumbers, electricians, roofers and gardeners all year round.

Very little of that work now arrives by word of mouth alone. A tenant in Portswood with a leaking tap, a homeowner in Bassett choosing a kitchen fitter, a boat owner at Ocean Village looking for someone to service an engine: they search, they compare the first few businesses they see, and they contact the one that looks organised and covers their area. If your website does not make that case in a few seconds, the enquiry goes to a competitor who does.

PrimeStart builds the website that makes the case. Your services, the areas you cover from Totton to Hedge End, your photographs and your contact details, put together as a proper WordPress site and then hosted, secured and kept up to date by us for one monthly price. You approve everything before it goes live, and you never have to touch the technical side.

Southampton searches with a place name in them.

Most of the work in this city starts with a search: a trade, a job and a suburb. SEO is ongoing monthly work on three agreed searches like these, chosen around the work you want more of.

  1. 01
    “emergency electrician Southampton”

    Usually a landlord, a shop or a household with the power off. The customer picks from the businesses that look reachable and cover the city, and picks quickly.

  2. 02
    “removals Portswood”

    Student and tenant moves come in waves around the academic year. A page that explains what you move, when and roughly what it costs wins the booking.

  3. 03
    “end of tenancy cleaning Southampton”

    Letting agents and departing tenants search for this with a deadline attached. Clear pricing, availability and a simple quote route are what convert.

Examples only. Your three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people in Southampton actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Southampton industries

Built for the trade first, then for Southampton.

A roofer in Sholing and a letting agent in Portswood are chosen in different ways. Each website starts from that, then adds the areas it covers.

Roofer in gloves laying interlocking roof tiles onto the battens of a new pitched roof Roofers Electrician's hands connecting wires to the circuit breakers in a consumer unit Electricians Two removals crew in uniform unloading packed boxes from a van outside a house Removal Companies Cleaner in an apron and gloves wiping down an office desk with a spray and cloth Cleaning Companies

Everything a Southampton business needs from its website, in one monthly plan.

Questions from Southampton businesses

Which parts of Southampton do you work with?
All of them. PrimeStart works with businesses across the city, including Shirley, Portswood, Bitterne, Sholing, Woolston, Bassett and Highfield, and across the wider area from Totton and Hythe to Eastleigh, Hedge End and Romsey. The website is built and managed remotely, so there is no office to visit and nothing depends on where you are based.
I run a marine or boat-related business. Is a five-page site enough?
For most it is. A home page that says what you do and where, a services page, a page about you and your qualifications, the areas or marinas you cover and a contact page cover the ground well. If your business genuinely needs more later, you can order extra pages through your client dashboard whenever you need them, but we would rather start with what customers actually read.
How much does a website cost in Southampton?
£49.99 a month for Website, with a £0 upfront website design fee, and the first monthly payment taken at signup. The Website has an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Complete the term and the website is yours. The price is the same in Southampton as everywhere else.
Can the site show that I cover Eastleigh and Hedge End as well as the city?
Yes. Customers search with the name of their own town or suburb, so we write the areas you cover the way they say them: the city suburbs, the towns along the M27 and the Waterside if you go that far. If your area changes, updating the list is a small change under fair use.
What is SEO and is it worth it here?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total with the website included. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, your Google Business Profile and the site, and report on what was done. In a city this size that is often what separates being found from being one of twenty results. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What happens after the 18 months?
The website is yours. Stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the site to hosting of your own. Transfer is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography.
