Working Birmingham as a damp-proofing
England's second city, major manufacturing and business hub with over 1 million residents. For damp-proofings that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Midlands climate with moderate rainfall; exposed to wind from the Pennines. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Birmingham customers searching for a damp-proofing usually live in Moseley, Harborne, Erdington or one of the satellite areas like Wolverhampton or Solihull. The local property mix in Birmingham drives a steady demand for basement waterproofing and rising damp from damp-proofings.
What We Do
Damp Proofings in Birmingham are competing with 50-100 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy damp-proofings from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Run by one person who actually knows what he is doing, not an agency where you get passed between five account managers. Website, Google profile, SEO, reviews, missed-call recovery. All done, all reported on monthly.
For damp-proofings in Birmingham, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real damp-proofing jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches damp-proofings customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a damp-proofing, you already know the bread and butter: penetrating damp and rising damp, with mould growth when the season turns. Homeowners with damp and mould issues, homebuyers after surveys, landlords with complaints, which means damp-proofings need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Damp Proofings Lose Calls Around Here
For damp-proofings covering Birmingham, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The damp-proofing customers in Birmingham Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
Here is what we tell damp-proofings working Birmingham and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for damp-proofing searches in Birmingham is decided by the things most damp-proofings never touch. Seven clients across plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. Spread across Pontyclun, Nottingham, Liverpool, Battle, Staines, Blackpool and Cheshunt. None of them were promised the moon. All of them are still here.

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
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
Review Automation
We send the request as a polite text the same day, with a single tap link to your Google profile. No app downloads, no signup, no friction. The customer is on the review page in two taps.
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?
All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.
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.
