Teesside Trade Marketing Launches to Boost Local Trades with Digital Solutions

Teesside Trade Marketing has officially launched in Stockton-on-Tees as a specialized digital marketing agency exclusively serving tradespeople across the Teesside region. Founded by Simon Hogben, the agency addresses a significant gap in the market by offering six core services specifically tailored to the needs of plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, and other trades: trade website design, local SEO and Google Maps optimisation, Google Ads management, 24/7 call answering, job management software, and professional email. The agency's mission is straightforward and results-focused—helping skilled tradespeople get found online, win more work, and run their businesses more efficiently without the jargon that often plagues generic marketing agencies.

Central to the agency's ecosystem is the Teesside Trade Services network, a collection of more than 40 specialist trade websites that connect homeowners and businesses with vetted local professionals. This network spans over 30 trade categories, including roofing, landscaping, heating, plumbing, electrical work, construction, cleaning, driveways, and interiors, with individual sites like Teesside Solar Panels providing dedicated platforms for specific services. The launch is particularly timely, as industry data reveals that 97% of consumers search online before hiring a tradesperson, and 76% of those performing local searches visit a business within 24 hours, highlighting the critical need for digital visibility in an era where many trades still rely on word-of-mouth or outdated websites.

The agency's integrated approach combines multiple channels to keep a tradesperson's diary full, from establishing credibility with professional websites to ensuring prominence in local searches through SEO and Google Maps optimisation. Immediate visibility is achieved via Google Ads for high-intent queries like "plumber near me," while the 24/7 call answering service ensures no lead is missed, even when tradespeople are on the tools. Serving the entire Teesside region—including Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar, Billingham, Yarm, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and Guisborough—Teesside Trade Marketing and its network form a comprehensive support system for business growth, encouraging tradespeople to visit teessidetrademarketing.co.uk or call 01642 053 322 for more information.
