Working Derby as a drainage
Rolls-Royce and Toyota manufacturing, railway heritage, Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. For drainages that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. East Midlands climate; moderate rainfall, prone to River Derwent flooding. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Derby's drainages typically pick up calls from Littleover, Chaddesden, Chellaston and the wider DE postcode area. The most common drainage jobs in Derby are cctv drain surveys and blocked drains. The pattern of call volume in Derby tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
Drainages in Derby get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The drainage listings ranking above them in Derby have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.
For drainages in Derby, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real drainage jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches drainages customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a drainage, you already know the bread and butter: cctv drain surveys and blocked drains, with sewer repairs when the season turns. Homeowners with blocked or damaged drains, homebuyers needing surveys, which means drainages need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Drainages Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at drainages in Derby who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the drainage keywords Derby customers actually use. Here's the unflattering truth: if your business name plus your town does not return your Google listing on the first page, the customers searching for you right now have never heard of you and never will. That is what we fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
For drainages covering Derby, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The drainage customers in Derby Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. 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
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
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 reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.

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?
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.
