    Executive Summary

    Zero digital presence to inbound Google enquiries in under two weeks.

    Vertical Scaffolding Solutions came to Refrakt as a professional scaffolding business operating across Essex and East London with no digital presence to match their on-the-ground reputation. We built the entire digital foundation from scratch, website architecture, on-page SEO, local area targeting, and a fully optimised Google Business Profile, structured from day one to capture local search intent and convert it into qualified enquiries.

    The result: the first inbound enquiry arrived directly from Google within two weeks of launch, with the site already ranking for competitive commercial terms in the Essex scaffolding market.

    What We Delivered

    A website, SEO architecture and Google Business Profile, built to rank from launch.

    01

    High-converting website build

    Built a fast-loading, mobile-first website engineered for both search compliance and lead capture. Clean service architecture, an above-the-fold quote form, and clear trust signals, £10m liability cover, same-day response, and direct phone access, all positioned to convert commercial intent into enquiry.

    02

    Local SEO & service page architecture

    Structured the entire site for local search dominance. Dedicated service pages for residential, commercial, industrial, scaffold towers and access scaffolding, each built with targeted on-page SEO. Separate area pages for Romford, Upminster, Brentwood, Ilford, Barking and 15+ Essex locations to capture hyper-local search queries.

    03

    Google Business Profile setup & optimisation

    Built and fully optimised the Google Business Profile from the ground up, categories, service areas, business description, photo assets, Q&A, and structured contact details, so the business appeared in the local map pack for scaffolding searches across Essex from the moment the profile went live.

    04

    Technical SEO foundations

    Implemented full technical SEO from launch: canonical tags, structured metadata, OG and Twitter card configuration, responsive viewport, schema-ready markup and clean URL architecture. The site was built to rank, not retrofitted for SEO after the fact.

    05

    Lead capture & source attribution

    Every enquiry channel, organic search, Google Business Profile, direct, is tracked back to source. The quote form captures project type, postcode and contact details, giving the sales team qualified, attributed leads and clear visibility over which channels are generating pipeline.
