Cardiff: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Working as a dentist in Cardiff you are competing for attention against 40-80 other businesses doing the same thing. Most of them have not put any effort into their Google profile. That is your opening.
In Cardiff, the catchment for dentists includes Cathays, Pontcanna, Splott, and the wider CF area. Calls for nhs waiting lists and teeth whitening make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For dentists covering Cardiff, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dentist customers in Cardiff Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We do the technical work that most owners hate: writing schema markup, optimising local citations, monitoring rank for the keywords that actually convert, fixing site speed issues, sorting NAP consistency. You never have to know what any of those words mean. We just do the work and report on the result.
For dentists in Cardiff, the search terms that matter are not "dentist" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "nhs waiting lists" and "toothache and emergencies". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the dentist pages of your site.
If you cover nhs waiting lists and teeth whitening as a dentist, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Dentists who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
When we look at dentists in Cardiff 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 Cardiff 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
Dentists in Cardiff get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The dentist listings ranking above them in Cardiff have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

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
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
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.
What It Costs
Right then, the money. £299 setup (covers your website, yours to keep), £449 a month for management. Less than £15 a day. One new patient pays for nearly 2 months. Three months, then you decide.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £299 once and £449 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.
