Working Bradford as a dog-walker

The dog-walker customers in Bradford are split roughly in half between long-term residents who already have someone they trust and newer residents (or younger ones) who Google for everything. The newer half is who you want, and Google is the only way to reach them.

In Bradford, the catchment for dog-walkers includes Shipley, Manningham, Heaton, and the wider BD area. Calls for midday walks when owners work and multiple dog handling make up the bulk of what comes through the door.

What We Do

Here is what we tell dog-walkers working Bradford and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for dog-walker searches in Bradford is decided by the things most dog-walkers never touch. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.

For dog-walkers in Bradford, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real dog-walker jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches dog-walkers customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.

If you are a dog-walker, you already know the bread and butter: multiple dog handling and midday walks when owners work, with bad weather coverage when the season turns. Working professionals who need midday dog walks, elderly dog owners, holiday cover, which means dog-walkers need to be findable when those exact searches happen.

Why Dog Walkers Lose Calls Around Here

When we look at dog-walkers in Bradford 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 dog-walker keywords Bradford customers actually use. 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.

Real Clients We Already Run

When we look at dog-walkers in Bradford 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 dog-walker keywords Bradford customers actually use. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.

Next Step: A Free Audit

Honest framing: the audit is free because it costs us about 30 minutes of automated checks plus 10 minutes of a real human looking at the results. We do that because most owners don't trust marketing pitches anymore (rightly), and a real audit is the only way to start a useful conversation.

The Three Things That Move the Needle

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Most SEO agencies work in three-month cycles and do nothing in between. We work weekly. Google Business Profile post on Monday, citation check on Tuesday, ranking pull on Wednesday, content review on Thursday. By Friday we know what is working and what to change.

Missed-Call Text-Back

Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.

Review Automation

Reviews come in on autopilot. We set up a system that asks your customers right after the job, while they are still happy. About a third leave a review. Over a year that is the difference between 8 reviews and 60.

Frequently Asked

What does it actually cost?

It is £199 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after three months.

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?

If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.

What if I already have a website?

We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.

How long until I see results?

Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.

Can I cancel?

After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
