A specialist agency for one supply chain only.
Groundproof builds websites and runs SEO, AI search visibility and Google Ads for UK construction subcontractors who win work on tenders, and nobody else. The team behind it has over 20 years of experience in web design and digital marketing, specialising in the trades, and works from a real studio in North Shields that you are welcome to visit. Everything about who we are, who we work with, where and how is below.

- Published prices. Websites from £3,999, the Foundations Sprint at £999, website management from £299 a month and Google Ads as an add-on from £399 a month. Nothing is quoted on a call that is not on the pricing page.
- You own everything. The domain, the site, the content, the logins and the Google Ads account are in your name from day one.
- Promises we can keep. We commit to the work, the measurement and honest reporting, never to a ranking position by a date.
- Data, not guesswork. Every page is planned from real search data and every month is reported in calls, forms, tender enquiries, AI mentions and visiting companies, so you can see exactly what your money is doing.
- One supply chain. We do not work for the lead platforms and directories that compete with our clients for their own buyers.
