Working York as an estate-agent
We see clear patterns in York: most calls for estate-agents come from people in Fulford, Clifton, and customers who searched for 'estate-agent near Harrogate' or 'estate-agent in Fulford'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
In York, the catchment for estate-agents includes Haxby, Fulford, Acomb, and the wider YO area. Calls for marketing quality and communication during sales make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
In York, the estate-agents who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for estate-agent services in York. We get your estate-agent listing into that group. 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.
Estate Agents working York get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent estate-agent searches (the ones with words like "hidden fees" and "accurate property valuations"). We structure the estate-agent website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for estate-agents: communication during sales, marketing quality, hidden fees. The customers searching for an estate-agent are usually homeowners selling property, investors selling portfolio properties, people relocating, and they Google before they call.
Why Estate Agents Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell estate-agents working York and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for estate-agent searches in York is decided by the things most estate-agents never touch. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at estate-agents in York 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 estate-agent keywords York customers actually use. Seven clients across plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. Spread across Pontyclun, Nottingham, Liverpool, Battle, Staines, Blackpool and Cheshunt. None of them were promised the moon. All of them are still here.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
One extra sale pays for 8 months. The price is £299 setup and £449 a month. Less than £15 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.
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.
