How Cardiff Dog Walkers Are Filling Their Diary from Google
If you cover Pontcanna, Cathays, and the rest of Cardiff, you should be one of the first names that comes up on Google. Right now, you probably aren't. That changes here.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Working Cardiff as a dog-walker
Most dog-walkers working Cardiff cover Pontcanna, Cathays, and a bit of Caerphilly. The customers in those areas Google for what they need before they call anyone, and Google usually shows them three options. We get you into those three.
Dog Walkers working Cardiff have a slightly different mix than dog-walkers elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Cardiff dog-walker calls come from Riverside, Splott, Roath and the corridor toward Newport.
What We Do
Dog Walkers in Cardiff get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The dog-walker listings ranking above them in Cardiff have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Imagine the bits of marketing you have been told you should do but never had time for: that is the list we tick off every month. Google profile updates, fresh content, review requests, ranking checks, listing audits. All of it.
Dog Walkers in Cardiff who join the package go through the same dog-walker-specific onboarding: we collect dog-walker business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the dog-walker site over the following week and start the dog-walker SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for dog-walkers is mostly midday walks when owners work, key holding, and multiple dog handling. Most dog-walkers are accredited with No mandatory regulation; Narps UK, insurance requirements, DBS checks, and that is one of the things dog-walker customers check before they call.
Why Dog Walkers Lose Calls Around Here
For dog-walkers covering Cardiff, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dog-walker customers in Cardiff Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not your prices. The phone is quiet because the people who used to find you in the Yellow Pages now search Google, and Google doesn't show your business. That's the entire problem.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the dog-walkers we have spoken to in Cardiff, the same pattern keeps coming up. The dog-walkers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Cardiff get most of the calls. 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
Local SEO is the bulk of what we do. Real keyword research using DataForSEO, on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls, Google profile management every week, and ranking checks every Monday. No hand-waving, no monthly PDF that says 'progressing well'.
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
Most owners undercount how much reviews matter for ranking. Every additional review is a small boost to your local pack position, especially when the review mentions the service or area. The automation makes that compound silently in the background.
What It Costs
We do not believe in hiding prices, so here they are: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out the same way: One job from Google pays for the month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
