Honest Local SEO for Architects Working Northampton and Around
We work with architects across Northampton who were sick of being invisible on Google while less experienced competitors got all the calls.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Northampton: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Boot and shoe manufacturing capital of England, rapid growth as a New Town. East Midlands climate; relatively dry and moderate, some flooding near the River Nene. Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for architects. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
If you cover Kingsthorpe, Ecton Brook, Abington and the surrounding NN postcodes as an architect in Northampton, your customers are mostly searching for planning permission applications or loft conversion plans. The architect work in Northampton tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Architects in Northampton 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. Here is exactly what we do, in plain English. We sort out your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when people search nearby. We build you a fast website that loads on a phone in under two seconds. We get you reviews automatically after every job. And we set up a system that texts back when you miss a call.
Every architect in Northampton on our list gets the same six things: a fast architect website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each architect job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to architect buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Architects usually serve homeowners planning extensions or conversions, developers, self-builders. The jobs that come through tend to be planning permission applications, loft conversion plans, and new build designs. Architects who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Architects in Northampton 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. It is a maths problem. About 70% of local searches happen on a phone. About 44% of those clicks go to the three businesses in the Map Pack. If you're not one of those three, you're competing for the leftovers.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at architects in Northampton 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 Northampton customers actually use. Seven paying clients across the UK. A plumber in Pontyclun who started us in March. A plumber in Nottingham with 188 reviews on Google. A heating engineer in Liverpool. A paving contractor in Staines. A bathroom fitter in Blackpool. A heating engineer near Battle. A plumber in Cheshunt. All paying monthly.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Every Monday we run a fresh ranking check across all your tracked search terms. Anything that dropped, we look into the same day. Anything that climbed, we double down on. That is the entire weekly SEO routine: small adjustments, every week, forever.
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
After every job (or once a week, depending on your workflow) the system automatically asks your customers for a Google review. About one in three actually leaves one. Over a year, that adds up to dozens of fresh reviews on your listing.
What It Costs
We do not believe in hiding prices, so here they are: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out the same way: One job from Google pays for the month.

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?
Three things, ranked by how quickly they pay back: missed-call text-back (instant), Google Business Profile management (weeks), and SEO (months). All three are included. No tiered features.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
