Why It's Different for Dentists
The dentist market in the UK is brutal because most of the work comes from urgent searches. Steady year-round demand with cosmetic peaks before summer holidays and in January. 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 dentists: nhs waiting lists, teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry demand. The customers searching for a dentist are usually adults seeking private dental care, cosmetic treatments, or families wanting nhs alternatives, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
For dentists specifically, the picture looks like this. Most dentists we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Six things every month, all of them done by us so you do not need to think about any of it. We run your Google Business Profile properly with weekly photos and posts. We build and host your website on infrastructure that loads in under two seconds on a phone. We set up automatic review requests that fire after every job. We catch your missed calls with an instant text-back so the calls you cannot answer do not vanish. We write four blog posts a month tuned to the searches your customers actually use. And we send a monthly performance report you can read in five minutes.
Dentists get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent dentist searches (the ones with words like "cosmetic dentistry demand" and "toothache and emergencies"). We structure the dentist website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
In our experience working with dentists, this is the part most dentist owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. 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.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with dentists, this is the part most dentist owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. The trades on our list right now have a combined 700+ reviews on Google between them. That is the kind of business we work with: established, well-reviewed, but not yet visible enough on Google. We bridge that last gap.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
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
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.

Two numbers. £299 once for the site itself, £449 every month for the management. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. Three months minimum then rolling.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £299 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £449 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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.
