Why It's Different for Dry Cleaners
The dry-cleaner market in the UK is brutal because most of the work comes from urgent searches. Steady demand year-round; peaks in spring for winter coat storage and autumn for party season. That means there is no time to nurture leads. You either show up first or you do not get the call at all.
Bread-and-butter jobs for dry-cleaners: stain removal, curtain and upholstery cleaning, leather and suede care. The customers searching for a dry-cleaner are usually professionals needing regular suit cleaning, wedding dress preservation, curtain cleaning, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
Among the dry-cleaners we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent dry-cleaner searches. We handle the entire online side of your business so you do not have to. That means a website rebuild if your current one is broken or slow, your Google profile sorted out and run weekly, automatic review requests going out after each job, missed-call recovery so dropped calls turn into texts, real SEO work every week, and a monthly performance report you can actually read on a phone.
Dry Cleaners get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent dry-cleaner searches (the ones with words like "curtain and upholstery cleaning" and "stain removal"). We structure the dry-cleaner website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Among the dry-cleaners we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent dry-cleaner searches. 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.
The Clients We Already Run
When we sit down with dry-cleaners and look at why the calls have stopped, this is what we usually find. The dry-cleaner business has reviews, has skill, but is invisible on Google for the right local searches. 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
We do not pretend SEO is mysterious. It is mostly: clear keyword research, then doing the obvious work consistently, then measuring it. The agencies that overcomplicate it do so to justify the price. We just do the work and bill £199/month.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
Review Automation
Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.
What It Costs
Flat fee: £199 once + £199/month. Less than £6.70 a day. After three months you can cancel any time and the website stays yours. No exit fees, no transfer admin charges, no nonsense.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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.
