No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Why It's Different for Car Valeters
You can spot a car-valeter who has not done the Google work because their phone slows down at the same rate the local population grows. The trades who have done the work just keep getting busier.
Bread-and-butter jobs for car-valeters: alloy wheel refurbishment, ceramic coating, paint correction. The customers searching for a car-valeter are usually car enthusiasts, people selling vehicles, fleet managers, prestige car owners, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our car-valeters and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
Car Valeters get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent car-valeter searches (the ones with words like "pre-sale preparation" and "interior deep cleaning"). We structure the car-valeter website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell car-valeters when they ask why their phone has slowed down. Most car-valeter businesses are not ranking for the search terms that bring buying-intent calls in their area. The honest truth: most local businesses lose more work to bad Google visibility than to bad service. Your skill is fine. Your work is fine. Your prices are fine. Your problem is that Google can't find you.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with car-valeters, this is the part most car-valeter owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
Review Automation
The reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after three months.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
