Working Southampton as an event-planner
If you work Southampton and the postcodes around it (SO), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of event-planners registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Looking at our existing event-planners, the calls in Southampton come overwhelmingly from Highfield, Portswood and the catchment around Eastleigh. The event-planner jobs in Southampton are usually supplier coordination or last-minute changes, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
For event-planners working Southampton, the picture looks like this. Most event-planners in Southampton are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
Event Planners working Southampton get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent event-planner searches (the ones with words like "last-minute changes" and "venue availability"). We structure the event-planner website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for event-planners: budget management, last-minute changes, supplier coordination. 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
In Southampton, the event-planners 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 event-planner services in Southampton. We get your event-planner listing into that group. Most owners blame the economy when their phone goes quiet. The actual cause is almost always the same: a competitor with a better Google listing has taken your spot in the local 3-pack. That's it. That's the fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
For event-planners working Southampton (especially around Woolston and Freemantle), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns event-planner owners about. Most event-planners in Southampton are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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
Most SEO agencies work in three-month cycles and do nothing in between. We work weekly. Google Business Profile post on Monday, citation check on Tuesday, ranking pull on Wednesday, content review on Thursday. By Friday we know what is working and what to change.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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?
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?
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.
