The problem
What is costing you enquiries.
Common reasons a plant hire company site loses enquiries. Some of them will not apply to you; the free audit says which do.
- Stock images stand in for your machines, so hirers cannot see what they will actually get.
- Specs such as operating weight, dig depth and transport width are missing.
- It is not clear whether hire is self-drive, operated or both.
- Delivery charges and areas are not stated anywhere.
- There is no way to request a machine for particular dates outside office hours.
What is included

A page for each machine type with real photos, key specs and compatible attachments.

Getting found in Stoke-on-Trent
Local search, done properly.
Stoke-on-Trent is a Staffordshire city famous for its pottery industry, with a population of 260,000.
In a large town, hirers compare local firms with national chains and depots in neighbouring towns. Machine availability, delivery charges and whether hire is self-drive or operated decide it. A site with a page per machine type, clear specs, rates or a rate basis and delivery information lets a site manager compare quickly and ring the firm that answered their questions.
Stoke-on-Trent is large enough that the first page for plant hire company searches is genuinely contested, and directories take several of the slots. Ranking above a directory is easier than ranking above a competitor, because a directory cannot say anything specific about the work. Firms in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford show up in the same results, because Google's idea of "near me" does not stop at the city boundary.
Stoke-on-Trent is known for its ceramics heritage, oatcake, and industrial regeneration. That shapes who is searching, what they expect to pay and how far they will travel, so a site for plant hire companies here should read like it belongs in Staffordshire, not like a template with the town name swapped in.
What it costs
£1,495, one-off.
The Growth Website is £1,495. That is the whole rebuild for a plant hire company in Stoke-on-Trent: the audit, rewriting how you explain the work, design, build, the conversion and local search groundwork, tracking, speed and launch. About 14 working days. You own it outright.
Ongoing care is £149 a month if you want it, and nothing if you do not. There is no setup fee and no minimum term.

Questions
The ones that come up.
Should the site mention used machines for sale?
If you sell ex-hire plant, a separate page helps, kept apart from hire so buyers and hirers are not confused. List machines with photos, hours and price, and update it as stock sells. If you do not sell machines, say so, which cuts down on calls you cannot help with.
Will a new site mean more hires?
Nobody can promise that. What changes is how easily a hirer who finds you can see your machines, specs and delivery terms and send a booking request. Tracking shows which machine pages lead to enquiries, which helps you decide what to promote and which pages need better photos or detail.
What do I need to provide for the new site?
Photos of your actual machines, a fleet list with specs, your delivery areas and charges, and your hire terms. Coltura writes the copy after a short conversation, so there is little else. If your fleet changes often, it is worth agreeing at the start how updates will reach the site.
Should I list every machine or just categories?
Categories with individual machines listed under them work well. A hirer usually starts with a type, such as a mini digger of a certain weight, and then wants specs. Showing each machine with weight, dig depth and transport width answers that. Keep it current as the fleet changes, or it causes more calls than it saves.
