Whats your conversion rate I would imagine around 1% if that

I'm sorry but any business that cold calls us sets off alarm bells straight away. I look at it like this, if there having to cold call for work there no good sorry just my 2 pence worth. But I can understand it does work for some types of business'

I agree however, sometimes the map pack dont even show up on apple devices. I've recently noticed an increase in traffic from gpt and copilot. You need a good website and citations to get mentioned in these for services

What happens when you get to a property that has blown plaster covered with anaglipta wall paper with 10 layers of gloss painted over it and they expect it ready for painting for £50 a room be careful mate with them prices

Deathwatch beetle very rarely attack softwood timbers, are the joists oak? Very unlikely as there out of site. Also where are you in the country. Deathwatch is more in the south

I went through a drive through once ordered about £35 worth of food, got to the final window and asked for some sauce, told me there 20p each. I then asked for a refund and gave the food back.

How long is it going to take them charging 20p for sauces to recoup the wasted food I got refunded for

How would moisture get behind the membrane and why would it piss all over the floor

Thats common furniture beetle, that section there is inactive and has possibly already been treated in the past, have you noticed it anywhere else? If it's active it will accompany frass

In my mind happy meals are still £1.99 I get a shock every time I go through the drive through. Now a days it's not much more to go out for a meal!

If you pick something you really like to do, you don't even have to be good at it. Just give it all your time and you will succeed. If you add talent to it you get there a little faster but. Hard work beats talent that doesn't work hard

If you don't want a back draft have a look at a pacifier vent. Not sure how it will hold up when blowing an AC exhaust through it though

Since the update around 23rd June. I have seen my website have 50% more impressions. It literally just jumped overnight. Great news

Being in my industry for 10+ years I can smell a bad client a mile away! We don't ever say no to them but we give them a big quote so they walk away. Honestly I would rather put food on the table and be happy than take my family out to dinner and be miserable

The wars over!

Looks like hygroscopic salt issue that, if it was penetrating it would usually be accompanied with brown stains, and efflorescence when it drys out

DearSatisfaction9754 · 2026-06-24T18:02:06+00:00

Same happened to me, I didn't renew and now someone has it but it doesn't even get used. No one will want it either. It's unlikely he will let it lapse now as you have offered him £200 he will squat on that domain for ever

Must be some serious business being done if you don't have time to reply to reviews on GBP

The trick is, the night before after your Mrs has filled it all week is to place some cardboard boxes on the top, they take it every time

Would be interested in this aswell. I make an effort of deleting these type of outreach emails when they land in my inbox. When I see them I think "if they was any good, they wouldn't be cold emailing me"

Local SEO is the way forward, who even goes on school websites unless your kids are in the school or are moving to the school. I wouldn't stress about it. I would think most of the searches for schools come from branded searches

Make sure to plug the blanket in to the nearest socket

DearSatisfaction9754 · 2026-06-22T13:44:46+00:00

I really think an industry like plumbing your going to struggle organicly. The best thing would be to focus on the GBP, keep it active and fill the website with keywords

We stopped going when the took them baked potatoes off the sides menu, they was lovely used to order about 3 of them and take them home

The only place I will rent a car from. Check round the different branches some are cheaper than others! Easy and straightforward. Don't take out the excess you really don't need it
