Working Edinburgh as a care-home
If you work Edinburgh and the postcodes around it (EH), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of care-homes registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Looking at our existing care-homes, the calls in Edinburgh come overwhelmingly from Cramond, Morningside and the catchment around Dunfermline. The care-home jobs in Edinburgh are usually cost concerns or specialist care needs, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Care Homes in Edinburgh get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The care-home listings ranking above them in Edinburgh have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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.
Care Homes working Edinburgh get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent care-home searches (the ones with words like "distance from family" and "finding available places"). We structure the care-home website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for care-homes: specialist care needs, cost concerns, cqc ratings. The customers searching for a care-home are usually families seeking care for elderly relatives, hospital discharge planners, social workers, and they Google before they call.
Why Care Homes Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at care-homes in Edinburgh 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 care-home keywords Edinburgh customers actually use. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the care-homes we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The care-homes ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We do not pretend SEO is mysterious. It is mostly: clear keyword research, then doing the obvious work consistently, then measuring it. The agencies that overcomplicate it do so to justify the price. We just do the work and bill £199/month.
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
The automation only asks customers we know are happy (most clients filter by job type before we send the trigger). If a customer was unhappy, we route them to a private feedback form instead so the public listing only collects positives.
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?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
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?
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.
