Websites for Andover businesses that get found
Andover is a busy market town, and plenty of local firms still rely on word of mouth, Facebook and directory listings. That works until a new customer searches Google for your trade and finds your competitor first.
We build websites to win those searches. We look at what people in Andover and the villages around it type into Google and check who already ranks. Then we design the site, write the pages and set up your Google Business Profile so that you can compete.
Covering Andover and the Test Valley
Our head office is at Arena Business Centre in Poole, about an hour and a quarter from Andover by road. We can meet you in person when it helps. The rest of the work happens by phone, email and video call, and you see and approve every stage of the website before it goes live.
Test Valley Paving, a family firm based at Weyhill just outside Andover, works with us this way. You can see their website further down this page.
- A page for each service you want work from, not one long list.
- Andover and the villages you cover named in titles and headings, written naturally.
- A phone number that can be tapped on every page.
- Photos of your own jobs, genuine reviews and your trade memberships where you have them.

What you get with every website
A design made for your business
We build every site around your trade and your customers. It is not a template with your logo dropped in.
Built for phones first
Most local searches happen on a phone, so the site is designed for a small screen first and then scaled up.
Words and pictures included
We write the copy with you and source the images, so you are not left staring at empty pages.
SEO from day one
Page titles, headings, page speed and your Google Business Profile are set up before launch, not bolted on afterwards.
Hosting on our own server
Your site sits on a private dedicated server that only carries websites we look after, and we keep it secure and up to date.
Free text and image updates
On our managed hosting, changes to wording and photos are done for you at no extra charge.
Enquiries tracked
Analytics and form tracking are set up at launch, so you can see what the website brings in.
No long contracts
Clients stay because the website works, not because they are tied in.
Hampshire websites we have built
These are live websites we built for businesses in Hampshire. Each link opens the live website in a new tab.

How SEO works in Andover
For a search such as “electrician Andover”, Google shows a map with three businesses and then the normal results. The map is decided mainly by your Google Business Profile: how close you are to the person searching, how complete your profile is and how many genuine reviews you have. The normal results are decided by your website and the links pointing to it.
Andover is a smaller market than a city, which works in your favour. Fewer firms compete for each search, so a well-built website and a complete Google Business Profile can move up faster than they would in Southampton or London. Many people also search by village, so pages for the places you really cover can bring in work your competitors miss.
Getting found in AI answers
Google now shows AI-written answers above the normal results for many searches, and people ask ChatGPT for recommendations too. These tools draw on pages that answer a question clearly and on businesses whose details and reviews match across the web.
We write your pages so they are easy to quote and keep your business details the same everywhere. Nobody can guarantee a place in an AI answer, but you can make your business the easy one to name. Read more about AI search optimisation.
