Honest Google Ads Management for UK Caterers
If you're a caterer and your phone has gone quiet, here's why, and what we do about it.
No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Why It's Different for Caterers
What works for caterers is the opposite of what most marketing courses teach. No funnels, no lead magnets, no email sequences. Just first-page Google rankings and a phone that gets answered. We sort both.
If you are a caterer, you already know the bread and butter: dietary requirements and event catering, with last-minute bookings when the season turns. Couples planning weddings, corporate event organisers, party hosts, which means caterers need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
What We Actually Do
Talking to caterers who have come through our door, the same story comes up every time. Caterers are doing the work properly but the customers searching online cannot find them. 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 caterers, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real caterer jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches caterers customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Among the caterers we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent caterer searches. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
The Clients We Already Run
For caterers specifically, the picture looks like this. Most caterers we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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.
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
Without this, missed calls are just gone. Voicemail catches almost nothing in 2026 (most people do not leave them anymore). The text-back is the only way to recover that traffic.
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?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month.
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.
