How Nottingham Chimney Sweeps Are Climbing Google Right Now
Nottingham's chimney-sweeps are some of the best in the country. The problem is the customers searching on Google can't find them. That's the only thing this fixes.

Nottingham: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Robin Hood legend, two universities, Nottingham Castle, lace-making heritage. East Midlands climate; relatively dry but prone to River Trent flooding. Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for chimney-sweeps. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
If you cover Hockley, Sherwood, Lace Market and the surrounding NG postcodes as a chimney-sweep in Nottingham, your customers are mostly searching for soot build-up or chimney inspections. The chimney-sweep work in Nottingham tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Nottingham, the chimney-sweeps 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 chimney-sweep services in Nottingham. We get your chimney-sweep listing into that group. We replace four or five things you would normally pay separately for: web designer, SEO agency, social media person, review-request app, missed-call system. One package, one price, one person to talk to.
Every chimney-sweep in Nottingham on our list gets the same six things: a fast chimney-sweep website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each chimney-sweep job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to chimney-sweep buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Chimney Sweeps usually serve homeowners with wood burners or open fires, landlords with chimney properties. The jobs that come through tend to be bird nests in chimneys, chimney inspections, and smoke problems. Chimney Sweeps who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell chimney-sweeps working Nottingham and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for chimney-sweep searches in Nottingham is decided by the things most chimney-sweeps never touch. Most quiet phones are not a customer problem. They are an indexing problem. The customers are still there. Google just isn't pointing them at you yet.
Real Clients We Already Run
For chimney-sweeps working Nottingham, the picture looks like this. Most chimney-sweeps in Nottingham are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Seven owners we know by name, currently paying. They are not brand ambassadors. They have not been asked to record video testimonials. They are running their businesses and we are running their online presence.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO is the bulk of what we do. Real keyword research using DataForSEO, on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls, Google profile management every week, and ranking checks every Monday. No hand-waving, no monthly PDF that says 'progressing well'.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.
Review Automation
Customers who would have left a review forget to within 24 hours. The automation catches them in the window when they remember, while the job is still fresh. That window is the entire game with online reviews.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
