How Northampton Dog Walkers Are Climbing Google Right Now
Northampton customers don't browse for dog-walkers. They Google one and call the first three results. We make sure your business is one of those three so the calls land on your phone.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Northampton: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Northampton's dog-walker market is usually classified as one of the busier ones in the dog-walkers sector by region. Plenty of demand, plenty of competition. The trades that get the calls are the ones in the top three of Google Maps for the city. Everyone else is sharing scraps.
If you cover Duston, Kingsthorpe, Abington and the surrounding NN postcodes as a dog-walker in Northampton, your customers are mostly searching for multiple dog handling or key holding. The dog-walker work in Northampton tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For dog-walkers working Northampton, the picture looks like this. Most dog-walkers in Northampton are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Here is exactly what we do, in plain English. We sort out your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when people search nearby. We build you a fast website that loads on a phone in under two seconds. We get you reviews automatically after every job. And we set up a system that texts back when you miss a call.
Dog Walkers in Northampton 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 multiple dog handling, key holding, and bad weather coverage. 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.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell dog-walkers working Northampton and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for dog-walker searches in Northampton is decided by the things most dog-walkers never touch. You can spot a business that has not done the Google work because the owner is always 'a bit slow this month'. The trades with sorted listings are not slow, ever. They might be picky about which jobs they take, but slow is not a thing.
Real Clients We Already Run
Dog Walkers in Northampton are competing with 25-50 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy dog-walkers from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Small client list, on purpose. Seven UK trades businesses, each on a monthly plan, each with the same mobile number to text. The plan is to keep growing slowly enough that the service quality stays the same.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
What we measure: keyword positions, Google Business Profile views, direction requests, calls from the listing, and form fills on your website. The monthly report shows all of these versus the previous month with no marketing spin.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
Honest pricing, no asterisks: £199 one-time setup and £199 every month. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. The site is yours forever, even if you cancel after the third month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first three months.
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.
