Why It's Different for Damp Proofings
If you are a damp-proofing, your customers do not read blog posts or browse websites for fun. They Google something like 'emergency damp-proofing near me' and call the first person who looks vaguely competent. The whole game is being one of the first three results.
What customers Google when they need a damp-proofing: variations of basement waterproofing, mould growth, and condensation problems. The damp-proofings that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
What We Actually Do
Damp Proofings get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for damp-proofings in 2026. What you actually get: a real website (not a template), a properly run Google profile, an automated review system, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month, and a monthly report. All in. No upsells, no add-ons, no tiered features hidden behind a 'contact sales' button.
Damp Proofings typically have between 30-100 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your damp-proofing listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For damp-proofings reading this who already feel like they have tried everything, here is the bit nobody mentions. Most damp-proofing marketing advice is generic and does not actually move the needle for damp-proofings. Most owners we speak to have tried something. A website built by a friend. A Yell listing. A few hundred quid on Facebook ads. None of it worked because none of it fixed the actual problem: Google doesn't know they exist.
The Clients We Already Run
Talking to damp-proofings who have come through our door, the same story comes up every time. Damp Proofings are doing the work properly but the customers searching online cannot find them. Small client list, on purpose. Seven UK trades businesses, each on a monthly plan, each with the same mobile number to text. The plan is to keep growing slowly enough that the service quality stays the same.

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
Most owners undercount how much reviews matter for ranking. Every additional review is a small boost to your local pack position, especially when the review mentions the service or area. The automation makes that compound silently in the background.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £199 once and £199 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Not at all. We build, host, and run everything. If you can send a text message, you can use this service. We send you a monthly report and message you if we need anything from your end.
What if I already have a website?
Yes, that is normal. Most of our clients had a previous site (often built by an agency or a friend that did not work out). We bring it across, keep your domain, and rebuild whatever needs rebuilding.
How long until I see results?
Realistically: small wins from week one (more missed calls recovered, a few more reviews). Medium wins by month one (Google profile starting to climb). Bigger wins by month three (organic search rankings improving). Anyone promising overnight results is selling something.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel after the third month. No 30-day notice, no exit charge. The website is yours to keep. We just stop the management work.
