Working Derby as a dentist
If you cover Derby and the surrounding postcodes (DE), the catchment is plenty big enough to keep you busy year-round. The constraint is visibility, not demand. Sort the visibility and the calls come in.
Derby's dentists typically pick up calls from Darley Abbey, Spondon, Chaddesden and the wider DE postcode area. The most common dentist jobs in Derby are nhs waiting lists and toothache and emergencies. The pattern of call volume in Derby tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
Dentists in Derby are competing with 150-300 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy dentists from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. 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.
Most dentists in Derby we work with already have a website that is not ranking for dentist searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the dentist website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the dentist profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
Most dentists get the same kinds of calls: nhs waiting lists, toothache and emergencies, and dental implant enquiries. Dentists who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
Why Dentists Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at dentists in Derby who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the dentist keywords Derby customers actually use. Most owners blame the economy when their phone goes quiet. The actual cause is almost always the same: a competitor with a better Google listing has taken your spot in the local 3-pack. That's it. That's the fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
For dentists covering Derby, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dentist customers in Derby Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

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 £449/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 reviews bit is fully automated: a text goes out after each job with a direct link to your Google review page. Customers tap once and they are typing the review. About one in three actually leaves one, which is roughly five times the industry average.
What It Costs
£299 setup. £449 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £15 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £299 setup, which covers your website, then £449 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £15 a day. You can cancel after three months.
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?
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.
