SEO for Groundworks & Drainage Contractors

We Help Groundworks Companies Win More Work in Their Local Area

If you run a groundworks or drainage business, you already know the challenge.

You might rely on builders, referrals, or repeat work.

But when new customers search online, competitors still appear above you on Google Maps and local search.

At GreenBoost SEO, we help groundworks contractors dominate their local area by fixing the specific issues that stop them ranking consistently across:

• Google Maps
  
• Local Google search
  
• AI-driven local results
  
  

We don’t work with every type of business.

We specialise only in landscaping, driveway, tree surgeon, outdoor living and closely related outdoor trades like groundworks and drainage.

Groundworks Contractors We Work With

We work with established and growing companies providing services such as:

• Excavation and site preparation
  
• Foundations for extensions and builds
• Drainage and soakaway installation
• Ground levelling and prep work
• Site clearance and muck away
• Domestic and commercial groundwork projects
  
  

Whether you’re a small local team or a larger contractor, the same online visibility problems usually apply.

Why Most Groundworks Websites Don’t Rank (Even Strong Businesses)

Most groundworks companies don’t struggle online because of poor work.

They struggle because Google isn’t being given clear, structured signals.

We see the same issues repeatedly:

• Services listed on one generic page
• Towns mentioned, but not properly targeted
• No clear excavation × location structure
• Weak or under-managed Google Business Profile
• Competitors outranking through reviews and authority
• No preparation for AI-driven local search results
  
  

So when someone searches:

• “groundworks contractor near me”
• “drainage company [town]”
• “excavation services [location]”
  
  

Google sends those enquiries to competitors instead.

The System We Use for Groundworks & Drainage Contractors

Our approach is simple, proven, and repeatable.

We focus on three core pillars:

Service × Location Structure

We build and optimise your website so Google clearly understands:

• What groundwork services you offer
• Which towns you want to dominate
• Which services should rank in each town
  
  

For example:

• Drainage Contractors in Stockport
• Excavation Services in Altrincham
• Foundations for Extensions in Wilmslow
  
  

This removes confusion and gives Google a clear reason to rank you ahead of generalist competitors.

Google Maps Domination

For groundworks businesses, Google Maps is often the difference between:

• steady inbound enquiries
• relying entirely on builders or word of mouth
• We optimise your Google Business Profile to:
• Increase map pack visibility
• Drive more calls and quote requests
• Strengthen trust with reviews, photos, and consistency
• Help you appear for urgent local searches
  
  

If you’re not showing in the map pack, you miss work daily.

AI Search Visibility

Local search is changing.

More groundwork-related searches are now showing up inside AI systems like:

• Google AI local overviews
• ChatGPT contractor recommendations
• Perplexity local business lists
• Gemini and Bing Copilot
  
  

We structure your content and business data so you can appear in these newer search formats.

Most contractors are not preparing for this shift, which creates a growing advantage for those that do.
