Working Manchester as a dog-walker
Working as a dog-walker in Manchester 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.
Across the M postcode area in Manchester, dog-walkers mostly handle midday walks when owners work and trust and insurance. The neighbourhoods we see most dog-walker calls from in Manchester are Northern Quarter, Withington and Fallowfield.
What We Do
For dog-walkers working Manchester, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Manchester are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For dog-walkers in Manchester, 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 bad weather coverage 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
Dog Walkers in Manchester get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The dog-walker listings ranking above them in Manchester have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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
For dog-walkers working Manchester, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Manchester are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month.
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.
