What “best” actually means for a UK kitchen fitting business
A kitchen fitting business needs three things from a marketing agency, in this order:
1. Booked jobs, not leads. A cheap lead that never books is worse than an expensive one that does. The best agencies report on booked jobs and cost-per-booked-job, not clicks or impressions.
2. Understanding of your channel mix. Kitchen fitters are not currently covered by Google Local Service Ads in the UK. The winning paid channel is Google Ads combined with a strong portfolio website (before and after photos, project videos) and a Google Business Profile with 40+ real kitchen photos and 30+ reviews.
3. Local knowledge, not generalism. An agency that also does dentists, e-commerce and SaaS will not spot the difference between the enquiry types you get every day. That difference is worth thousands per month in wasted spend.

What to ask every agency before you sign anything
1. What is your typical cost per booked job for a UK kitchen fitter client, and can you show me three real examples?
2. Do you specialise in trades, or is kitchen fitters one of many industries you serve?
3. Do you understand my two or three main project types and can you split campaigns by them?
4. What will my monthly reporting look like – will it show jobs booked or just leads and clicks?
