Working York as a builder
York's builder market is usually classified as one of the busier ones in the builders sector by region. Plenty of demand, plenty of competition. The trades that get the calls are the ones in the top three of Google Maps for the city. Everyone else is sharing scraps.
For builders working York, the busy postcodes are usually YO, with steady call volume from Acomb, Heworth and Tang Hall. Typical builder jobs in York: extensions, new builds.
What We Do
When we look at builders in York 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 builder keywords York customers actually use. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Builders in York who join the package go through the same builder-specific onboarding: we collect builder business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the builder site over the following week and start the builder SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for builders is mostly structural repairs, new builds, and loft conversions. Most builders are accredited with Federation of Master Builders (FMB), NHBC, TrustMark, and that is one of the things builder customers check before they call.
Why Builders Lose Calls Around Here
Builders in York get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The builder listings ranking above them in York have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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
For builders working York (especially around Clifton and Fulford), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns builder owners about. Most builders in York are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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
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
Most owners we set this up for save the cost of the entire month's package in the first week, just from missed-call recoveries. It is the part of the system that pays back fastest.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
We are not the cheapest and we are definitely not the most expensive. £199 for the site, £199 a month for the rest. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out as: One extension pays for over 12 years.

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?
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?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
