What this means for you in Cologne
State your service area honestly
Set the area you really work in in your Google profile, and name your districts or your side of the Rhine on your website. Enquiries from far away that you then turn down only cost you time.
Old buildings are their own topic
In districts with many old buildings, customers look specifically for experience with old wiring, stucco or floorboards. Show such work with photos on your website; it sets you apart from businesses that only offer “all kinds of work”.
