Honest answers to honest questions

Yes. Sign up, answer three questions, and your site goes live in 90 seconds. You can be taking customer enquiries the same evening.

No. The infrastructure runs automatically. Schema, sitemaps, breadcrumbs, location intelligence, image optimisation — all happens behind the scenes. If you can post a photo from your phone, you're doing SEO.

Schema and indexing happen within hours of going live. Top-3 rankings for competitive terms take 3-6 months — that's true for any SEO, and there's no shortcut. The compounding starts the day you go live: every job you post becomes a real, indexed page Google associates with your work.

If you can use a smartphone, you can use Heyguv. Most customers are set up and live in under 90 seconds. Onboarding asks a handful of plain-English questions, generates your site, and drops you in your dashboard. No web designer, no developer, no faff.

Guv writes the first draft using the answers you give in onboarding — your trade, your area, what makes you different. You can edit any of it from your dashboard, polish individual sections in one tap with Guv, or write it all yourself if you'd rather.

Yes — every paid plan includes custom domain support. We'll walk you through DNS setup in a couple of minutes. You also get a free Heyguv subdomain (yourbusiness.heyguv.com) if you don't have a custom domain yet.

You can keep your existing domain and point it at Heyguv — same URL, new site. The work each job you post does for your local search starts compounding from day one.

No. Your customer-facing site is fully branded with your business name, colours, logo, and photos. There's no "Powered by" badge in their face. Heyguv runs invisibly in the background — your customer experience is your customer experience.

Two things. First, Guv writes your site copy at signup based on the answers you give us — hero headline, services, about-the-business sections. Second, when a lead comes in, Guv drafts three reply options for you to choose from: a 'need more info' angle, a 'ballpark estimate' angle, and a 'suggest a visit' angle. You pick one, edit if you want, send. Takes seconds.

Many tradespeople work as sole traders, and that's fine. Your invoices show the right details either way — we don't add VAT for businesses below the threshold, and we add it correctly for those above.

Yes. Tenants are isolated at the database level — your leads are visible only to you, never to any other Heyguv customer. Infrastructure is UK-hosted. We don't sell your data, ever.

All customer data lives in your account. We process it on your behalf as a data processor, not a controller. You can export your full lead history at any time and delete it from our servers when you cancel.

Anytime. No contracts, no exit fees, no minimum term. Your data exports cleanly. Yearly plans get a pro-rata refund on unused months.

Yes — there's an "Other" option in onboarding where you specify your trade. The system tailors copy and service suggestions accordingly. If you do something niche (e.g. chimney sweeping, scaffolding), we'll happily fine-tune the templates for you.

You always get the last word. Every piece of Guv's copy is editable from your settings before any customer ever sees it. The dashboard's regenerate button gives you a fresh draft any time. And if a draft reply doesn't fit, you can write your own — Guv is a starting point, not a sender.

Sign up at heyguv.com/signup. Answer three questions, your site goes live in 90 seconds, and your 14-day free trial starts straight away. Card required up front, but you're not charged until day 15 — cancel anytime before then and walk away.
