Why It's Different for Damp Proofings
The damp-proofing market in the UK is brutal because most of the work comes from urgent searches. Enquiries peak in autumn and winter when damp becomes visible; treatment work year-round. That means there is no time to nurture leads. You either show up first or you do not get the call at all.
Bread-and-butter jobs for damp-proofings: penetrating damp, mould growth, basement waterproofing. The customers searching for a damp-proofing are usually homeowners with damp and mould issues, homebuyers after surveys, landlords with complaints, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
Among the damp-proofings we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent damp-proofing searches. 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.
Damp Proofings get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent damp-proofing searches (the ones with words like "condensation problems" and "rising damp"). We structure the damp-proofing website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For damp-proofings specifically, the picture looks like this. Most damp-proofings we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
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. We do not have testimonials. We have card payments. Seven of them every month, all from real UK trades businesses you can find on Google. The mix is plumbers in three towns, heating engineers in two more, a paving firm in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool.

If you want to know whether any of this would actually work for your business, the fastest answer is a free audit. We pull your Google listing, look at your site, check who's ranking above you locally, and tell you what we'd fix. No sales pitch attached. No commitment.
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
It is the cheapest way to get an immediate uplift in jobs because the customers were already calling you. They just gave up when nobody answered. The auto-text catches them mid-give-up and turns them back into a real conversation.
Review Automation
Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.
What It Costs
Flat fee: £199 once + £199/month. Less than £6.70 a day. After three months you can cancel any time and the website stays yours. No exit fees, no transfer admin charges, no nonsense.

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?
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?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
