The Best Website Structure for Builders (Services, Areas, Trust)

A simple site map that helps Google understand you — and helps visitors hire you.

LIVE SEARCH EXAMPLE

Most builder websites fail for one reason: Google and humans can’t quickly tell what you do and where you do it.

Here’s a structure that works.

Core pages (minimum)

  • Home (service + location + proof)
  • Services (hub page)
  • One page per service (e.g. /services/loft-conversions)
  • Areas served (hub page)
  • One page per area (optional to start)
  • About
  • Reviews / Case studies
  • Contact

Why one page per service matters

It lets you:

  • match search intent (“loft conversion builder Leeds”)
  • write specific FAQs
  • show relevant photos
  • convert better (clear offer)

Trust pages: the conversion accelerators

If you can add only one extra section, add case studies:

  • 6–10 photos
  • what the client wanted
  • what you built
  • timeframe
  • rough budget band (optional)

A quick internal linking rule

Every service page should link to:

  • contact
  • a relevant case study
  • 2–3 relevant location pages

Every location page should link to:

  • the relevant service page
  • contact
  • one case study nearby

That’s how you create a site that “feeds itself” over time.
