Working Manchester as an event-planner
We see clear patterns in Manchester: most calls for event-planners come from people in Northern Quarter, Didsbury, and customers who searched for 'event-planner near Bolton' or 'event-planner in Northern Quarter'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
Across the M postcode area in Manchester, event-planners mostly handle supplier coordination and last-minute changes. The neighbourhoods we see most event-planner calls from in Manchester are Levenshulme, Fallowfield and Withington.
What We Do
Across the event-planners we have spoken to in Manchester, the same pattern keeps coming up. The event-planners ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Manchester get most of the calls. Run by one person who actually knows what he is doing, not an agency where you get passed between five account managers. Website, Google profile, SEO, reviews, missed-call recovery. All done, all reported on monthly.
Event Planners working Manchester get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent event-planner searches (the ones with words like "guest management" and "venue availability"). We structure the event-planner website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for event-planners: venue availability, last-minute changes, guest management. The customers searching for an event-planner are usually businesses planning corporate events, individuals planning milestone celebrations, and they Google before they call.
Why Event Planners Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at event-planners in Manchester 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 event-planner keywords Manchester customers actually use. 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
Event Planners in Manchester are competing with 60-120 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy event-planners from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Honest comparison: most marketing agencies show you a wall of logos. We have a list of seven names you can verify on Google Maps. Pinnacle Plumbers, Tami Plumbing, Discount Heating NW, Optimum HVAC, M&R Property and Paving, Fylde Bathrooms, Alan's Plumbing. Look them up. They are real.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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 setup, which covers your website, then £199 a month for the ongoing management. Less than £6.70 a day. You can cancel after 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?
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.
