Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Derby's drainages often cover not just the city centre but the postcodes around it (DE) and outlying towns like Belper. Customers searching from those areas need to see your listing first. We make sure they do.
If you cover Allestree, Normanton, Darley Abbey and the surrounding DE postcodes as a drainage in Derby, your customers are mostly searching for cctv drain surveys or sewer repairs. The drainage work in Derby tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For drainages working Derby (especially around Normanton and Spondon), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns drainage owners about. Most drainages in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. The list, with no marketing spin: website built by us, Google Business Profile run by us, review automation, missed-call text-back, quote follow-ups, monthly performance report, four pieces of fresh content per month. That's the package.
Drainages in Derby typically have between 80-150 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your drainage listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What customers Google when they need a drainage: variations of sewer repairs, collapsed drains, and drain jetting. The drainages that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
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. There are two kinds of local businesses right now: the ones at the top of Google for their area, and the ones whose phones are quietly drying up. There's almost no middle ground anymore.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO covers your Google Business Profile (run weekly with fresh posts and photos), your website (on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls), and your citations (consistent across the 30+ directories Google checks). Three pillars, all maintained continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.
Review Automation
Reviews show up in two places that matter: on your Google Business Profile (where new prospects see them) and as a ranking signal (Google rewards businesses with steady, recent review flow). We feed both at the same time.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Not at all. We build, host, and run everything. If you can send a text message, you can use this service. We send you a monthly report and message you if we need anything from your end.
What if I already have a website?
Yes, that is normal. Most of our clients had a previous site (often built by an agency or a friend that did not work out). We bring it across, keep your domain, and rebuild whatever needs rebuilding.
How long until I see results?
Realistically: small wins from week one (more missed calls recovered, a few more reviews). Medium wins by month one (Google profile starting to climb). Bigger wins by month three (organic search rankings improving). Anyone promising overnight results is selling something.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel after the third month. No 30-day notice, no exit charge. The website is yours to keep. We just stop the management work.
