London: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
London is interesting because the housing is mix of georgian terraces, victorian conversions, post-war council estates, and modern developments and that drives the kind of jobs that come up. The customers are mostly searching by area name (think 'architect in Islington' or 'architect near Dulwich') so the local SEO needs to be tuned for those exact phrases.
Architects working London have a slightly different mix than architects elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most London architect calls come from Dulwich, Hackney, Brixton and the corridor toward Croydon.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For architects covering London, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The architect customers in London Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We replace four or five things you would normally pay separately for: web designer, SEO agency, social media person, review-request app, missed-call system. One package, one price, one person to talk to.
Specifically for architects in London, 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 planning permission applications, loft conversion plans, or new build designs. 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.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
When we look at architects in London who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the architect keywords London customers actually use. There are two kinds of local businesses right now: the ones at the top of Google for their area, and the ones whose phones are quietly drying up. There's almost no middle ground anymore.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the architects we have spoken to in London, the same pattern keeps coming up. The architects ranking in the top three of Google Maps for London get most of the calls. What we have instead of fancy case studies: seven real businesses paying us monthly. Plumbers in three different towns. Heating engineers in two more. A paving firm. A bathroom fitter. All English-speaking owners we text directly.

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
Costs nothing extra to run, included in the monthly price. Most clients save the cost of the whole package within the first fortnight from this single feature.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

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?
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.
