No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Belfast as a dry-cleaner
Pretty much every dry-cleaner call in Belfast starts the same way: someone in Finaghy or Stranmillis needs help with stain removal or wedding dress cleaning, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Looking at our existing dry-cleaners, the calls in Belfast come overwhelmingly from Ballyhackamore, Malone and the catchment around Holywood. The dry-cleaner jobs in Belfast are usually curtain and upholstery cleaning or suit pressing, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
For dry-cleaners working Belfast, the picture looks like this. Most dry-cleaners in Belfast 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.
For dry-cleaners in Belfast, the search terms that matter are not "dry-cleaner" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "stain removal" and "wedding dress cleaning". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the dry-cleaner pages of your site.
If you cover wedding dress cleaning and curtain and upholstery cleaning as a dry-cleaner, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Dry Cleaners who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Dry Cleaners Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell dry-cleaners working Belfast and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for dry-cleaner searches in Belfast is decided by the things most dry-cleaners never touch. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
For dry-cleaners working Belfast (especially around Finaghy and Stranmillis), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns dry-cleaner owners about. Most dry-cleaners in Belfast are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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
Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.
Review Automation
Reviews come in on autopilot. We set up a system that asks your customers right after the job, while they are still happy. About a third leave a review. Over a year that is the difference between 8 reviews and 60.
What It Costs
Here is the price. £199 for the website (one-off, yours to keep forever). £199 a month for the management. Less than £6.70 a day. Three-month minimum, then you can cancel any time you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.
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. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
