What a taxi & private hire firm website has to get right
These are the things that specifically matter for your trade — not a generic checklist that would apply to a florist just as well.
- 01 A phone number as the single largest element on the page, tappable, above the fold, on every page
- 02 Online booking for advance journeys — people will book an airport run at 11pm without ringing
- 03 A dedicated airport transfer page with fixed prices to East Midlands, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds Bradford
- 04 A page load under one second, because the customer is standing outside on mobile data
- 05 A business account page for local firms needing regular staff and client journeys
- 06 Licensing details and whether vehicles are wheelchair accessible
What we hear
The problems taxi & private hire firms keep telling us about
Uber and Bolt have taken the casual ride market and compete on app convenience rather than service
Most bookings are made in under thirty seconds on a phone, so anything slow loses the fare
Airport transfers are the profitable work and get lost among short local runs
Customers ring whoever they find first, so the phone number has to be instantly tappable
Regular account customers are the stable revenue but are rarely marketed to at all
When the work comes in
Weekday commuting and school runs form the base. Friday and Saturday nights are the peak. Airport transfers book days or weeks ahead and cluster around school holidays. December is the busiest month by a distance, and getting the Christmas party trade means being visible in November.
This matters more than most people realise. If your trade has a season, the marketing has to be finished before it starts — search rankings take months to build, so the work happens in your quiet period, not your busy one.

How much does a website for taxi & private hire firms cost?
From £250 for a straightforward site covering your services and area, and £500 to £1,200 for a larger site with a page per service built to rank. We quote a fixed price before starting, and every price on this site excludes VAT.
Will it actually bring in work?
That depends on whether people in your area are searching for what you do — and for taxi & private hire firms in Mansfield, they are. We will show you the search volumes for your specific trade before you commit, so you can judge it rather than take our word for it.
Do you understand a taxi or private hire business?
We have built sites across most trades in and around Mansfield. More usefully, we will spend half an hour asking how your enquiries actually come in, what a good job looks like and what wastes your time — because that is what shapes a site that works.
How long will it take?
Four to six weeks for most trade websites. If you are in a seasonal trade and need to be live before your busy period, tell us the date and we will work back from it.
Can I edit it myself?
Yes. Adding a job to the gallery, changing a price or updating your coverage area should take a couple of minutes. We record a walkthrough on your own site so you are not guessing.
Shall we look at what taxi & private hire firms in Mansfield are ranking for?
We will check the actual search volumes for your trade in your area and tell you honestly whether there is enough there to be worth chasing. Free, and takes us about half an hour.
