Working Leicester as a dog-walker
Working as a dog-walker in Leicester you are competing for attention against 100-200 other businesses doing the same thing. Most of them have not put any effort into their Google profile. That is your opening.
Leicester customers searching for a dog-walker usually live in Evington, West End, Braunstone or one of the satellite areas like Melton Mowbray or Market Harborough. The local property mix in Leicester drives a steady demand for bad weather coverage and trust and insurance from dog-walkers.
What We Do
For dog-walkers working Leicester (especially around Braunstone and Belgrave), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns dog-walker owners about. Most dog-walkers in Leicester are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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 Leicester, the search terms that matter are not "dog-walker" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "key holding" 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 multiple dog handling 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
For dog-walkers working Leicester, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Leicester are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
Real Clients We Already Run
Dog Walkers in Leicester get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The dog-walker listings ranking above them in Leicester have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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?
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?
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.
