No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Cambridge as a care-home
University of Cambridge, Silicon Fen tech cluster, punting on the Cam, King's College Chapel. For care-homes that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. East Anglian climate; one of the driest cities in the UK, cold east winds in winter, warm summers. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
In Cambridge, the catchment for care-homes includes Trumpington, Coleridge, Arbury, and the wider CB area. Calls for finding available places and cqc ratings make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
For care-homes working Cambridge, the picture looks like this. Most care-homes in Cambridge are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.
For care-homes in Cambridge, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real care-home jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches care-homes customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a care-home, you already know the bread and butter: cqc ratings and finding available places, with distance from family when the season turns. Families seeking care for elderly relatives, hospital discharge planners, social workers, which means care-homes need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Care Homes Lose Calls Around Here
In Cambridge, the care-homes who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for care-home services in Cambridge. We get your care-home listing into that group. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
For care-homes working Cambridge, the picture looks like this. Most care-homes in Cambridge are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
Missed-Call Text-Back
If you cannot answer the phone (because you are on a job), the system automatically texts the caller back within seconds. The reply reads something like 'Hi, can't pick up right now, on a job. What do you need? I'll be back to you within the hour.'. About a third of those texts turn into actual jobs that would otherwise have been lost.
Review Automation
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first 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?
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.
