Working Cambridge as an architect
Cambridge is a particular kind of market. University of Cambridge, Silicon Fen tech cluster, punting on the Cam, King's College Chapel. The housing is mostly historic college buildings, victorian terraces, inter-war semis, and high-tech modern developments. We see calls coming from Trumpington, Newnham, and the surrounding CB postcodes. If you cover those areas and you are not in the top of Google for them, that is the leak.
Cambridge's architects typically pick up calls from Romsey, Chesterton, Trumpington and the wider CB postcode area. The most common architect jobs in Cambridge are extension designs and planning permission applications. The pattern of call volume in Cambridge tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
For architects working Cambridge (especially around Trumpington and Newnham), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns architect owners about. Most architects in Cambridge are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
Most architects in Cambridge we work with already have a website that is not ranking for architect searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the architect website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the architect profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
Most architects get the same kinds of calls: loft conversion plans, planning permission applications, and listed building work. Architects who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
Why Architects Lose Calls Around Here
For architects working Cambridge, the picture looks like this. Most architects in Cambridge are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
Real Clients We Already Run
Architects in Cambridge get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The architect listings ranking above them in Cambridge have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
Review Automation
The reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £199 once and £199 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Nothing technical, no. We do all the work. You give us the basic details, we handle the rest. If something needs your input we will text or email and ask in plain English.
What if I already have a website?
Most of our current clients had a website before us. We brought theirs across without losing any URLs or domain authority. Yours would work the same way.
How long until I see results?
Different things move at different speeds. The missed-call system catches calls from day one. Google profile changes show in days. Search rankings take months. We are upfront about all of this from the start.
Can I cancel?
Three months, then it is month-to-month. Cancel by text. The website stays online (you keep the domain and the site), we just stop running the SEO and Google profile side of it.
