No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Hull as a barber
UK City of Culture 2017, deep-sea fishing heritage, The Deep aquarium, Philip Larkin. For barbers that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. East coast climate; cold winters, prone to North Sea storm surges and tidal flooding. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Looking at our existing barbers, the calls in Hull come overwhelmingly from Anlaby, Newland and the catchment around Hessle. The barber jobs in Hull are usually beard grooming or walk-in availability, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Across the barbers we have spoken to in Hull, the same pattern keeps coming up. The barbers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Hull get most of the calls. Not a DIY platform. Not a course. Not a coaching call. We do all of it for you. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, monthly report. Done.
For barbers in Hull, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real barber jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches barbers customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a barber, you already know the bread and butter: finding a good barber and walk-in availability, with booking systems when the season turns. Men and boys needing regular haircuts, beard trims, and grooming services, which means barbers need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Barbers Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell barbers working Hull and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for barber searches in Hull is decided by the things most barbers never touch. The brutal version: if you Googled your own business name plus your town right now, and you're not on page one with a full Google profile, photos, and reviews, you're losing work every week. Maybe every day.
Real Clients We Already Run
For barbers working Hull (especially around Newland and Holderness), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns barber owners about. Most barbers in Hull are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
It is the cheapest way to get an immediate uplift in jobs because the customers were already calling you. They just gave up when nobody answered. The auto-text catches them mid-give-up and turns them back into a real conversation.
Review Automation
Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.
What It Costs
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup that covers your website. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Three-month minimum, no contracts after that.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
What do you actually do every month?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
Do I need to do anything technical?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
