Emergancy work flow

Call-out ( out of office hours ) work is fine so long as it pays you twice what you day rate is

How old are you, I used to work all the hours god sends when I was younger but I'm 53 now and you have no chance of getting me to work past 4.30PM, and even less of a chance on a Saturday, don't care what the problem is.

I’m 34, and it’s not really for me as I have a young son and find myself already working less and less, it’s for a couple of the guys that work for me, they have asked for ways of earning more so thought this might be a nice way for them to rotate a call out service.

I built two websites for friends, one was for a flat roofer the other for a heating engineer.
I targeted keywords in the area they lived and spread this out to a 30 mile radius to catch all traffic. It took me around 6 months to get them both to top of search engines in the fields they wanted to cover.

Long story short they both asked me to take the websites down, they couldn't handle the calls, even though they were making shed loads of money.

I don't know how you could find a happy balance, 'mybuilder.com' seems the best of a bad bunch.

This is the problem. If your website isn't at the top of Google then no-one will see it. If it is, then you will be inundated with calls - including nonsense spam and sales calls. There's no easy answer I'm afraid.
