The Opportunity
Here's What People Are Actually Searching For
Every month across the UK, thousands of homeowners go looking for exactly what your business offers. Most driveway, patio, and landscaping businesses are invisible for almost all of it — not because the demand isn't there, but because their website and Google presence aren't set up to capture it.
| Search term | Monthly UK searches |
|---|---|
| driveways | 40,500 (£4.68 avg. cost per click — among the highest of any trade) |
| resin driveway | 27,100 |
| patios | 22,200 |
| driveway | 5400 |
| patio | 22,200 |
| landscaping | 12,700 (£2.17-3.17 avg. cost per click) |
| landscapers | 12,100 |
| garden landscaping | 6,600 |
| driveway ideas | 6,600 |
| landscaping London | 1,900 (£1.91 avg. cost per click) |
| landscapers in London | 1,900 |
| driveways London | 390 (£3.58 avg. cost per click) |
| Birmingham landscaping | 880 |
| driveways Birmingham | 480 |
| patios London | 110 (£6.65 avg. cost per click — the single highest-value search term in this entire trade) |
Notice the cost-per-click data — "driveways" alone pulls 40,500 searches a month at £4.68 per click, among the highest CPC of any trade, meaning advertisers are already paying a premium because these searchers are close to hiring, not just browsing. "Patios London" gets just 110 searches but commands £6.65 per click — the single highest-value search term in this entire trade. That's the market telling you exactly how ready these buyers are. If your site doesn't show up with clear pricing and a strong first impression, that decision (and that ad spend) goes to a competitor instead.
The Gap
Why Most Driveway & Landscaping Businesses Miss This Traffic Entirely
We've audited driveway, patio, and landscaping business websites across the UK, and the same issues come up again and again:
- Homepage content that hasn't been updated in years, even as the rest of the business has grown
- Multiple location pages that are nearly identical, just swapping a town name — a pattern Google can actively penalise rather than reward
- Broken or arbitrary phone numbers and headings, confusing both visitors and Google about what the page is even for
- Slow load times from uncompressed project photos, exactly the kind of visual proof that should be winning new jobs
- No structured data marking up services, meaning Google can't clearly present what you actually offer
- Weak or non-existent internal linking, meaning some service pages are barely indexed at all
None of this reflects the quality of the finished work. It reflects a website that hasn't kept pace with the business behind it.
Trade-Specific SEO
SEO for Driveway, Paving & Patio Companies
Generic marketing agencies treat driveways like any other trade. They're wrong to. This trade lives and dies on material-specific searches — a homeowner typing "resin driveway" is months further along than someone typing "driveway ideas", and your site needs separate, genuinely distinct pages to catch both.
What trade-specific SEO covers for paving and driveway contractors:
Material pages that rank
Resin bound, block paving, tarmac, gravel and patio installations each deserve their own optimised page — not a paragraph squeezed onto the homepage.
Local landing pages built properly
One genuinely distinct page per town you serve — not the copy-paste template Google actively penalises.
Google Business Profile with real installs
Before/after photos posted monthly, steady review generation, and service-area accuracy that matches where you actually work.
Photo SEO
Your transformation gallery named, compressed and alt-tagged so it surfaces in Google Images — where driveway browsing actually starts.
What We Do
How We Get Your Business Found — and Booked
We don't believe in generic marketing packages. Every driveways in london,birmingham business we work with gets an approach built around how people actually search for patios/driveways services in their area.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
We optimise your Google Business Profile and website through a local SEO Strategy so you show up when someone nearby searches "patios installer" or "carpet fitters" in their area — not just your business name.Website Speed & Technical Fixes
Slow, broken, or poorly structured websites lose customers before they even see your work. We fix load times, image compression, mobile responsiveness, and the technical SEO foundations Google actually checks.Google Ads (When It Makes Sense)
For high-value searches like commercial driveways/landscaping work, a well-targeted ad campaign can generate serious ROI — we set these up to target buyers ready to hire, not browsers comparing pricesDriveway Leads
Driveway Leads — Why Exclusive Beats Cheap
Search "driveway leads" and you'll find no end of companies selling them. Here's the economics they don't advertise: a shared driveway lead is sold to 3-4 contractors simultaneously, so your close rate is divided by the number of firms bidding on it — while the £40-140 per m² job value means one genuinely exclusive enquiry is worth more than four shared ones.
| Shared pay-per-lead | Exora-built visibility | |
|---|---|---|
| Who receives the lead | 3-4 contractors | You only |
| Cost | £20-60 per lead, forever | Fixed package — an asset you own |
| Stops the day you cancel | Yes | No — rankings persist |
That's the difference between renting leads and owning your pipeline. If you'd rather stop buying the same enquiry your competitors already have, our lead generation service builds visibility that stays yours — long after the invoices stop.
Pricing
What Driveways & Landscaping Actually Cost in the UK Right Now
This is one of the highest-value trades we work with — understanding real 2026 pricing helps explain why the search traffic in this space is worth so much.
| Service type | UK cost per m² | Typical 50m² job (two-car drive) |
|---|---|---|
| Gravel | £40-70 | £2,000-3,500 |
| Tarmac | £45-80 | £2,250-4,000 |
| Block paving | £75-140 | £4,500-7,500 |
| Resin bound | £60-135 | £3,000-6,000+ |
London and the South East typically run 20-30% above these national figures. A single lost enquiry in this trade isn't a small missed sale — it's often a £3,000-£7,500 job going to a competitor instead, which is exactly why the cost-per-click on these search terms runs so high.
Visual Proof
Before & After Photos Sell Driveways — If People Can Find Them
Unlike a lot of trades, driveway and landscaping work is inherently visual — a genuinely strong before/after transformation photo does more selling than almost any written copy could.
What we actually do
We make sure your best project photos are actually working for you — properly compressed and named for Google Images search, shared consistently across Instagram and Facebook, and linked correctly back to your website rather than sitting disconnected on a phone camera roll.
The most common mistake we see
Businesses with genuinely excellent finished work and almost no photographic evidence of it online — or photos that exist on social media but never make it onto the actual website where a searching customer will land first.
Marketing
Marketing That Actually Works for Driveway & Landscaping Businesses
Given how high cost-per-click runs in this trade, getting the fundamentals right before spending on ads matters more here than almost anywhere else.
What we prioritise, in order
- Website technical fixes — speed, structure, and genuinely distinct pages for every area you serve
- Google Business Profile — optimised with real project photos, not stock imagery
- Local SEO — targeting the specific service and material searches people actually use (resin, block paving, patios)
- Google Ads — once the fundamentals are solid, this is where the highest-value trade in our portfolio tends to see the strongest return
A note on pay-per-lead services
You may have already been approached by lead-generation companies offering "free setup, pay only for leads booked." These often sell the same lead to multiple businesses, meaning you compete for the same customer while still covering the ad spend yourself. We build visibility that's exclusively yours, long-term.
How It Works

- Free AuditWe check how your finished work actually appears to someone comparing quotes — your Google Business Profile, before-and-after photos, and whether your service area and material options are clear.
- Straightforward PlanYou get a clear breakdown of what's costing you enquiries — a profile without recent project photos, thin material pages, or a site that's slow to load on site visits
- We Handle ExecutionSite fixes, local SEO, and profile work — you focus on the install, we focus on getting you found.
- Ongoing ReportingRegular, honest updates on enquiries and where they're coming from, with no inflated metrics.
Real Results, Not Just Promises
