Northampton: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Boot and shoe manufacturing capital of England, rapid growth as a New Town. For caterers that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. East Midlands climate; relatively dry and moderate, some flooding near the River Nene. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Northampton customers searching for a caterer usually live in Far Cotton, Abington, Moulton or one of the satellite areas like Wellingborough or Kettering. The local property mix in Northampton drives a steady demand for wedding catering and event catering from caterers.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Northampton, the caterers 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 caterer services in Northampton. We get your caterer listing into that group. Not a DIY platform. Not a course. Not a coaching call. We do all of it for you. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, monthly report. Done.
For caterers in Northampton, 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.
If you are a caterer, you already know the bread and butter: event catering and corporate lunch services, 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 Most Local Owners Get Wrong
In Northampton, the caterers 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 caterer services in Northampton. We get your caterer listing into that group. 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 caterers covering Northampton, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The caterer customers in Northampton Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

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
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.
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?
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 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?
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.
