Your website has no photos of your work

One thing about working in Hartlepool: the local environment matters. North East climate; cold winters with occasional North Sea snow, moderate rainfall. Local painters & decorators who understand this market are at an advantage — but only if customers can actually find them when the moment comes.
A town in the North East of England, a town of 88k people. Hartlepool has its own search patterns and local people type things like "painter and decorator near me", "painter in Hartlepool", "decorator Hartlepool" when they need a painter & decorator. If your website doesn't rank for those exact phrases, you're invisible to the customers most likely to call.
If you are a painter & decorator in Hartlepool, your customers are not just in Hartlepool. They are in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Billingham too. Most are homeowners redecorating, landlords preparing properties, commercial premises. The trick is making your site rank for searches from every one of those towns — not just the one you trade from.
