Why It's Different for Dog Walkers
Marketing for dog-walkers is a different game from marketing for, say, a coffee shop or an estate agent. Customers are usually in a hurry, often a bit stressed, and almost always price-sensitive. Your website and Google listing have about three seconds to convince them you are the right call. Most dog-walkers fail at exactly that.
Most calls dog-walkers get are for key holding, multiple dog handling, or midday walks when owners work. The work is governed by No mandatory regulation; Narps UK, insurance requirements, DBS checks and the typical dog-walker customer is working professionals who need midday dog walks, elderly dog owners, holiday cover. Most dog-walkers we work with see those exact problems make up four out of five jobs.
What We Actually Do
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our dog-walkers and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. Practically speaking: you tell us your business name, your services, and your area. We build the website. We sort the Google listing. We start the review automation. We write the content. You go back to running your business.
Specifically for dog-walkers, we monitor about 25 local search terms that bring buying intent for dog-walker services. We update your Google profile weekly with fresh photos and posts, and we run automatic review requests after every dog-walker job. The whole dog-walker package costs £199/month.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For dog-walkers specifically, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. There are two kinds of local businesses right now: the ones at the top of Google for their area, and the ones whose phones are quietly drying up. There's almost no middle ground anymore.
The Clients We Already Run
For dog-walkers reading this who already feel like they have tried everything, here is the bit nobody mentions. Most dog-walker marketing advice is generic and does not actually move the needle for dog-walkers. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
What we measure: keyword positions, Google Business Profile views, direction requests, calls from the listing, and form fills on your website. The monthly report shows all of these versus the previous month with no marketing spin.
Missed-Call Text-Back
We have seen owners on this system go from 'a quiet week' to 'fully booked' just because the missed-call text turned dropped calls into actual job enquiries. It is genuinely the highest-ROI thing in the whole package.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
No tiers, no hidden fees, no surprise upsells: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel after three months with no fuss.

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?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
We handle every technical step. Website build, hosting, domain setup, DNS, Google Business Profile verification, schema markup, analytics. None of that is your job. You just answer the phone when calls come in.
What if I already have a website?
Easy. We migrate the existing site across and keep everything that is working. The domain stays yours. We just rebuild it on faster infrastructure and fix the things that are losing you calls.
How long until I see results?
We do not guarantee a number of leads or a ranking position because nobody can do that legitimately. We guarantee the work is done, the report is honest, and the system stays running. The results follow if you let it run for the three-month minimum.
Can I cancel?
Three-month minimum, then rolling. Cancel whenever, no fuss. The website stays yours, the domain stays yours, and we send you a clean handover so nothing breaks.
