Why It's Different for Counsellors
Counsellors have a particular problem when it comes to getting found online. The work is local, the calls are urgent (work-related stress does not wait), and the competition is dense. The fix is not generic SEO. It is specifically getting you into the Google Map Pack for the searches your customers actually use.
Most counsellors get the same kinds of calls: work-related stress, anxiety and depression, and self-esteem issues. Counsellors who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
What We Actually Do
For counsellors specifically, the picture looks like this. Most counsellors we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.
Most counsellors we work with already have a website that is not ranking for counsellor searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the counsellor website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the counsellor profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For counsellors reading this who already feel like they have tried everything, here is the bit nobody mentions. Most counsellor marketing advice is generic and does not actually move the needle for counsellors. The honest truth: most local businesses lose more work to bad Google visibility than to bad service. Your skill is fine. Your work is fine. Your prices are fine. Your problem is that Google can't find you.
The Clients We Already Run
For counsellors specifically, the picture looks like this. Most counsellors we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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
If you cannot answer the phone (because you are on a job), the system automatically texts the caller back within seconds. The reply reads something like 'Hi, can't pick up right now, on a job. What do you need? I'll be back to you within the hour.'. About a third of those texts turn into actual jobs that would otherwise have been lost.
Review Automation
The reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.
What It Costs
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after 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?
Nothing technical, no. We do all the work. You give us the basic details, we handle the rest. If something needs your input we will text or email and ask in plain English.
What if I already have a website?
Most of our current clients had a website before us. We brought theirs across without losing any URLs or domain authority. Yours would work the same way.
How long until I see results?
Different things move at different speeds. The missed-call system catches calls from day one. Google profile changes show in days. Search rankings take months. We are upfront about all of this from the start.
Can I cancel?
Three months, then it is month-to-month. Cancel by text. The website stays online (you keep the domain and the site), we just stop running the SEO and Google profile side of it.
