Worcester Construction Digital Visibility Index — Q3-2026

Not every firm could be measured on every pillar (Q3-2026)

9 of the firms below are missing at least one pillar: Speed & CWV (49 of 55), Content & trust (46 of 55). Where a pillar could not be measured for a firm it is excluded from that firm’s score and its remaining weights are renormalised, rather than scored zero — so those firms are ranked on less evidence than the rest, and their position should be read with that in mind. Affected: MITRE OAK LTD, The Roofing Company Worcester, Straight-Line Group Services, Britannia Site Solutions Limited, Merseyside Fencing Ltd, County Property Services (Worcs), Baker Homes & Developments Ltd, E L Kennedy Ltd, Real Group of Companies Limited. See the methodology.

The PYC Worcester Construction Digital Visibility Index ranks 55 worcester constructions on how well they perform online — website speed, technical SEO, local presence, search visibility, AI search presence and content & trust — each scored 0–100 to a single Digital Visibility Score. Measured 29 August 2026 to the published methodology.

As of Q3-2026, 4% of the 49 worcester constructions measured on Speed & Core Web Vitals score below 50 on mobile (PYC Worcester Construction Digital Visibility Index, measured 29 August 2026).

Search visibility against AI presence

Search visibility against AI search presence. The dashed diagonal is parity; a firm far from it is strong in one channel and weak in the other.

horizontal: search visibility →   vertical: AI presence ↑

W Maggs Construction is the widest split: AI engines name it far more readily than search surfaces it (AI 40, visibility 4) — brand without search. Those are different problems behind a similar overall score.

Reputation: reviews against rating

Google review volume (log scale) against average rating. Bubble size is review count. The rating axis starts at 2.9 so the cluster is readable; 2 firms rated below that sit on the floor, drawn hollow and named.

horizontal: reviews (log) →   vertical: rating ↑

Review volume spans 1 to 153 and ratings 1 to 5, yet the Local pillar separates these firms by only 47 points — the raw figures discriminate where the score does not. Most reviews: James Grove Ltd-Worcester Tree Surgeons & Firewood Deliveries (153). Highest rating: 15 firms tied at 5.

Local pack coverage across the city

Local 3-pack for “builders near me” searched from 9 points on a 3×3 grid across a 7.5-mile square centred on 52.194, -2.220. North is up; each cell names its position and carries its coordinates and the firms found there. Each cell counts how many indexed firms hold a pack slot at that location; a chain counts wherever any of its branches appears. 7 of 9 points contain at least one indexed firm, and 3 of the 55 indexed firms appear somewhere on the grid.

What the register says this cohort is

Companies House matched 15 of 55 businesses on an exact name with a corroborating registered address. Firms are seeded by trading name, which is how a business presents itself rather than what it is registered to do — so the mix below is often broader than the index title suggests. A company may register several SIC codes, so these counts sum to more than the number of firms. Median company age is 15.2 years, ranging from 2.2 to 28.9. Recorded alongside the measurement and carrying no weight in any score.

Which worcester construction has the best website?

General Builds tops the Q3-2026 index with a Digital Visibility Score of 66/100. Each firm has a full diagnostic scorecard linked from the table above.

How this is measured

Every score follows the same six-pillar methodology: Speed & Core Web Vitals (20%), Technical foundation (20%), Local presence (20%), Visibility (15%), AI search presence (15%) and Content & trust (10%). Each pillar links to the knowledge-base article that explains what it measures; the statistical methods behind the scoring are written up separately. Download the full dataset: JSON · CSV.

Who publishes this

The index is compiled and published by PYC, a search consultancy run by Phil Yarrow. It exists because the questions it answers — who is actually visible in a local market, and by how much — were being answered with opinion. The collection and scoring code is open source, so any figure here can be recomputed rather than taken on trust.
