Cardiff Architects: Real Local SEO, Real Calls, Real Prices
Cardiff customers don't browse for architects. They Google one and call the first three results. We make sure your business is one of those three so the calls land on your phone.

Working Cardiff as an architect
Cardiff is interesting because the housing is victorian and edwardian terraces from the coal export era, inter-war semis, and modern bay developments and that drives the kind of jobs that come up. The customers are mostly searching by area name (think 'architect in Riverside' or 'architect near Splott') so the local SEO needs to be tuned for those exact phrases.
The neighbourhoods that drive most call volume for architects in Cardiff are Llandaff, Splott, and Roath. Outlying areas like Caerphilly and Newport send architect work in too, especially for planning permission applications and other urgent jobs.
What We Do
Architects in Cardiff are competing with 40-80 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy architects from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. The list, with no marketing spin: website built by us, Google Business Profile run by us, review automation, missed-call text-back, quote follow-ups, monthly performance report, four pieces of fresh content per month. That's the package.
Specifically for architects in Cardiff, we monitor about 25 local search terms that bring buying intent for architect services. We update your Google profile weekly with fresh photos and posts, and we run automatic review requests after every architect job. The whole architect package costs £199/month.
Most calls architects get are for loft conversion plans, extension designs, or planning permission applications. The work is governed by Architects Registration Board (ARB), Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the typical architect customer is homeowners planning extensions or conversions, developers, self-builders. Most architects we work with see those exact problems make up four out of five jobs.
Why Architects Lose Calls Around Here
Architects in Cardiff are competing with 40-80 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy architects from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Most owners we speak to have tried something. A website built by a friend. A Yell listing. A few hundred quid on Facebook ads. None of it worked because none of it fixed the actual problem: Google doesn't know they exist.
Real Clients We Already Run
For architects covering Cardiff, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The architect customers in Cardiff Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We do the local SEO work weekly: keyword tracking for the searches that actually convert, Google Business Profile updates with fresh photos and posts, schema markup on every page of your site, and a monthly ranking report so you can see exactly what moved.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Reviews show up in two places that matter: on your Google Business Profile (where new prospects see them) and as a ranking signal (Google rewards businesses with steady, recent review flow). We feed both at the same time.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
We handle every technical step. Website build, hosting, domain setup, DNS, Google Business Profile verification, schema markup, analytics. None of that is your job. You just answer the phone when calls come in.
What if I already have a website?
Easy. We migrate the existing site across and keep everything that is working. The domain stays yours. We just rebuild it on faster infrastructure and fix the things that are losing you calls.
How long until I see results?
We do not guarantee a number of leads or a ranking position because nobody can do that legitimately. We guarantee the work is done, the report is honest, and the system stays running. The results follow if you let it run for the three-month minimum.
Can I cancel?
Three-month minimum, then rolling. Cancel whenever, no fuss. The website stays yours, the domain stays yours, and we send you a clean handover so nothing breaks.
