York: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Working as a damp-proofing in York you are competing for attention against 12-30 other businesses doing the same thing. Most of them have not put any effort into their Google profile. That is your opening.
Looking at our existing damp-proofings, the calls in York come overwhelmingly from Fulford, The Groves and the catchment around Tadcaster. The damp-proofing jobs in York are usually mould growth or condensation problems, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Across the damp-proofings we have spoken to in York, the same pattern keeps coming up. The damp-proofings ranking in the top three of Google Maps for York get most of the calls. It is an everything-in package, not an a-la-carte menu. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, all bundled. Removing things does not make it cheaper because the system only works as a system.
For damp-proofings in York, the search terms that matter are not "damp-proofing" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "rising damp" and "penetrating damp". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the damp-proofing pages of your site.
If you cover rising damp and mould growth as a damp-proofing, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Damp Proofings who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell damp-proofings working York and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for damp-proofing searches in York is decided by the things most damp-proofings never touch. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
Review Automation
The automation only asks customers we know are happy (most clients filter by job type before we send the trigger). If a customer was unhappy, we route them to a private feedback form instead so the public listing only collects positives.

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?
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?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
