90-day online marketing plan
Shieldline Security Services
Shieldline Security Services will turn searches for guards, patrols, alarm response and CCTV into calls by looking established on Google, explaining how a job starts and being known to the managers and venues who book security.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Build a website with a page for each service and a quote form, explaining how a job begins with a survey and a written plan, so a worried caller sees a method and not just a promise.
Complete a Google Business Profile that shows your service area, hours and an out-of-hours number, because a buyer searching for a security company near me wants to know someone will answer.
Get to know the managing agents, business park managers, venue managers and trades who hear about security problems first, and leave them a clear one-page description of what you cover.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
Buyers searching for security compare how clearly each firm explains its service, and a page for each service matches the search that brought them.
- Write a page each for security guard services, event security, mobile patrols, alarm response and CCTV, using the search phrases in this plan.
- Explain on every page how a job starts: a site survey, a written plan and a quote, then a start date.
- Put your phone number, a call button and a short quote form on every page, and say when someone answers the phone.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
The map leads the results for a security company near me, and a complete listing with reviews tells a worried caller that you are real and local.
- Pick security guard service as the main category, add alarm and CCTV as secondary ones, and enter your service area and hours.
- Upload photos of your vehicles, uniforms and fitted equipment, never of a client's premises or the view from a camera.
- Ask satisfied clients for a review where they are happy to give one, and reply to each in plain words.
Property managers, venues and trades Medium effort · Low cost
Managing agents, venue managers and trades such as electricians and locksmiths hear about security needs before anyone searches online.
- Visit managing agents or property management firms, business park managers and venue managers and leave a one-page sheet listing your services and an out-of-hours number.
- Offer a no-obligation walk round one site and send written recommendations afterwards.
- Agree with electricians, locksmiths and fencing firms to pass enquiries to each other where the work is not yours.
LinkedIn Medium effort · Free
Property, facilities and operations managers use it for work, and a company page with plain explanations makes a first message easier to answer.
- Set up a company page that lists your services and the kinds of site you cover, then add the owner's profile.
- Connect with property managers, facilities managers and venue managers in your area, with a short note about what you cover.
- Share one plain security tip a week for business owners, without details about any client or site.
Facebook neighbourhood groups Medium effort · Low cost
Homeowners ask neighbours who fitted their CCTV or alarm, and a helpful answer in the group often leads to a survey.
- Set up a business page with your area and a message button, then join the local groups where businesses may reply to questions.
- Answer questions about cameras and alarms helpfully and point to your page rather than posting adverts.
Email follow-up Low effort · Free
Many buyers ask for a quote months before they act, and a short, well-timed note brings you back to mind.
- Collect email addresses, with permission, on every quote and every site survey.
- Write to quotes that did not go ahead and to contract clients before renewal, offering to revisit the site and review the arrangement.
What your website needs
- A home page that opens by saying you are a security company, names your area and shows a call button, a quote form and the hours someone answers the phone.
- A security guard services page for static guards, reception cover and site security, explaining how staff are trained, briefed and supervised.
- An event security company page for venues and organisers, with how staffing, a briefing and a plan are agreed ahead of the date.
- A mobile security patrols page covering what a patrol checks, how each visit is recorded and how the client receives the report.
- An alarm response service page explaining what happens when an alarm is triggered, who is called and what the client is told afterwards.
- A cctv installation near me page for homes and a commercial cctv systems page for businesses, with the survey, the fitting and the handover explained.
- A page on your people and your paperwork: how staff are vetted and trained, and the licences and insurance you hold.
