Working Cambridge as a dog-walker
Working as a dog-walker in Cambridge you are competing for attention against 25-50 other businesses doing the same thing. Most of them have not put any effort into their Google profile. That is your opening.
Looking at our existing dog-walkers, the calls in Cambridge come overwhelmingly from Chesterton, Coleridge and the catchment around Saffron Walden. The dog-walker jobs in Cambridge are usually trust and insurance or bad weather coverage, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Here is what we tell dog-walkers working Cambridge and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for dog-walker searches in Cambridge is decided by the things most dog-walkers never touch. 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.
For dog-walkers in Cambridge, the search terms that matter are not "dog-walker" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "bad weather coverage" and "midday walks when owners work". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the dog-walker pages of your site.
If you cover midday walks when owners work and trust and insurance as a dog-walker, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Dog Walkers who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Dog Walkers Lose Calls Around Here
In Cambridge, the dog-walkers who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for dog-walker services in Cambridge. We get your dog-walker listing into that group. The honest truth: most local businesses lose more work to bad Google visibility than to bad service. Your skill is fine. Your work is fine. Your prices are fine. Your problem is that Google can't find you.
Real Clients We Already Run
For dog-walkers covering Cambridge, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dog-walker customers in Cambridge Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. 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
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
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 automation only asks customers we know are happy (most clients filter by job type before we send the trigger). If a customer was unhappy, we route them to a private feedback form instead so the public listing only collects positives.

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?
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.
