Working Derby as a care-home
The care-home customers in Derby are split roughly in half between long-term residents who already have someone they trust and newer residents (or younger ones) who Google for everything. The newer half is who you want, and Google is the only way to reach them.
Derby's care-homes typically pick up calls from Littleover, Normanton, Chaddesden and the wider DE postcode area. The most common care-home jobs in Derby are finding available places and cqc ratings. The pattern of call volume in Derby tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
For care-homes working Derby (especially around Darley Abbey and Allestree), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns care-home owners about. Most care-homes in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
For care-homes in Derby, 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: distance from family and finding available places, with specialist care needs 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
Here is what we tell care-homes working Derby and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for care-home searches in Derby is decided by the things most care-homes never touch. Here's the unflattering truth: if your business name plus your town does not return your Google listing on the first page, the customers searching for you right now have never heard of you and never will. That is what we fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
For care-homes working Derby, the picture looks like this. Most care-homes in Derby are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Honest signal-to-noise: we charge real money to seven real UK businesses. We do not have free trials, partner programmes, affiliate links, or fake testimonials. Everything we do is paid for by people running their own trades businesses.
Next Step: A Free Audit
Honest framing: the audit is free because it costs us about 30 minutes of automated checks plus 10 minutes of a real human looking at the results. We do that because most owners don't trust marketing pitches anymore (rightly), and a real audit is the only way to start a useful conversation.
The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.
Review Automation
We send the request as a polite text the same day, with a single tap link to your Google profile. No app downloads, no signup, no friction. The customer is on the review page in two taps.

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?
We sort your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when locals search. We build you a website that loads fast on a phone. We get reviews coming in automatically after every job. We text customers back when you miss a call. And we send you a monthly report that shows what changed.
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.
