Just got the new Yellow Pages and looked under Handyman to check the
competition. Amazed to find www.kent-handyman.co.uk who appears to
have stolen his wording directly from my web site!

So far as I can see, most of the site is entirely different. There
are some similarities of wording on the pricing page, but they are
not identical and there must be a limited number of ways of saying we
are not VAT registered and don't charge you VAT.

He has even stolen my price structure!

Him: £35 first hour £20 per hour after, in some areas. £38 and £28 in
others.
You: £30 for first and subsequent hours.

Not just that, but the "Half Day (pre booked) and the Full Day (pre booked)
are identical. He also uses all the phrases I do.


Not only that, he uses the phrase The Medway Handyman in his meta
tags.

Only Inktomi even looks at those any more. If you did get him to
change that, he could still justifiably put 'Medway, handyman' in the
tags and have much the same effect.

He does that as well, but The Medway Handyman is my registered business
name. What would happen if I put 'screwfix' in my meta tags?

As I said earlier, I don't see any real evidence of that. From a
commercial point of view, I would be more worried about the fact that
his site looks more professional.

It does? How about his home page?

"We Specialists (sic) in work involving carpentry (no capitalisation),
plumbing (no capitalisation), Electrics (capitalised), flat pack assembly
(no capitalisation), Home Improvements (capitalised), mobile welding (no
capitalisation)".

Professional??????????????

He has no grasp of basic English grammar !!!!!!!!!
