WEBSITE CHECK FOR BRICKLAYERS
A good brickie's website is simple: what you build, where, and how to get a quote. Check that nothing gets in the way.
A phone number and a short form, both easy to find on a phone.
Fences, retaining walls, repairs, new builds. Spell it out so the right jobs find you.
Old themes and unused plugins are a common cause of a slow first screen.
GETTING AHEAD OF THE OTHERS
People hiring a bricklayer check three things: that you take their size of job, that the finished work looks right, and that getting a quote won’t be a chore. Some arrive on a builder’s referral and only want to confirm you’re a real business.
Front fences, retaining walls, letterboxes, repairs, repointing, new builds, extensions. Say which you take, and whether small repairs are welcome.
One showing the whole job and one showing the joints. That pair is what customers and builders look at.
A tap-to-call number and a form that accepts a photo. Say what to include: measurements, the brick if they know it, and the suburb.
An old theme full of unused plugins is a common cause of a slow first screen. A few clean pages are easier to keep fast.
It’s the free listing with your name, hours and reviews that shows in Google Search and Maps. Keep your name, number and areas the same there as on your website, and link the two.
Send the customer your review link the day you finish. Real reviews only: fake or paid ones break Google’s rules and Australian consumer law.
TEN MINUTES, YOUR OWN PHONE
The free check measures speed, search basics and security. These are the things only you can test.
BRICKLAYERS ASK
It helps, but you don’t control how it looks or what appears beside it, and it often asks visitors to log in. A small website you own gives customers and Google one fixed place to find you.
No. Home, the work you do, photos and contact covers it. A few pages kept up to date beat many left stale.
Google’s phone speed test counts 90 or more as good and under 50 as poor. On 12 November 2026 we measured 16 Melbourne bricklayers’ websites. At least half scored 71 or more on the phone speed test, and 3 scored 90 or more. See the scoreboard. Scores move a few points between runs, so go by the pattern rather than one number.
Not on its own. A fast site takes away a reason to give up and ring someone else, and it gives everything else on this page a better chance of being seen. The work still has to be good, and no website check measures that.
