Brighton: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
If you work Brighton and the postcodes around it (BN), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of dog-walkers registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Brighton customers searching for a dog-walker usually live in North Laine, Kemptown, Seven Dials or one of the satellite areas like Worthing or Haywards Heath. The local property mix in Brighton drives a steady demand for multiple dog handling and trust and insurance from dog-walkers.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For dog-walkers working Brighton, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Brighton are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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.
Dog Walkers working Brighton get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent dog-walker searches (the ones with words like "multiple dog handling" and "midday walks when owners work"). We structure the dog-walker website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for dog-walkers: midday walks when owners work, trust and insurance, key holding. The customers searching for a dog-walker are usually working professionals who need midday dog walks, elderly dog owners, holiday cover, and they Google before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For dog-walkers working Brighton, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Brighton are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.
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.

What do you actually do every month?
We sort your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when locals search. We build you a website that loads fast on a phone. We get reviews coming in automatically after every job. We text customers back when you miss a call. And we send you a monthly report that shows what changed.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
