Working Coventry as a dog-walker
City of Peace and Reconciliation, UK City of Culture 2021, motor industry heritage. For dog-walkers that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Central England climate with moderate rainfall; sheltered position in the Midlands. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Looking at our existing dog-walkers, the calls in Coventry come overwhelmingly from Styvechale, Coundon and the catchment around Bedworth. The dog-walker jobs in Coventry are usually trust and insurance or midday walks when owners work, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Dog Walkers in Coventry get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The dog-walker listings ranking above them in Coventry have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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 dog-walkers in Coventry, 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
For dog-walkers working Coventry, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Coventry are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The brutal version: if you Googled your own business name plus your town right now, and you're not on page one with a full Google profile, photos, and reviews, you're losing work every week. Maybe every day.
Real Clients We Already Run
Here is what we tell dog-walkers working Coventry and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for dog-walker searches in Coventry is decided by the things most dog-walkers never touch. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every 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 £199/month.
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 reviews bit is fully automated: a text goes out after each job with a direct link to your Google review page. Customers tap once and they are typing the review. About one in three actually leaves one, which is roughly five times the industry average.
What It Costs
Flat fee: £199 once + £199/month. Less than £6.70 a day. After three months you can cancel any time and the website stays yours. No exit fees, no transfer admin charges, no nonsense.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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.
