Middlesbrough: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Steel industry heritage, Transporter Bridge, Teesside University, Middlesbrough FC. For event-planners that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. North East coast climate; cold winters, prone to Tees Valley fog, moderate rainfall. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
In Middlesbrough, the catchment for event-planners includes Acklam, Nunthorpe, Marton, and the wider TS area. Calls for supplier coordination and venue availability make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Event Planners in Middlesbrough are competing with 15-30 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy event-planners from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. It is an everything-in package, not an a-la-carte menu. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, all bundled. Removing things does not make it cheaper because the system only works as a system.
For event-planners in Middlesbrough, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real event-planner jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches event-planners customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are an event-planner, you already know the bread and butter: supplier coordination and venue availability, with guest management when the season turns. Businesses planning corporate events, individuals planning milestone celebrations, which means event-planners need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For event-planners working Middlesbrough, the picture looks like this. Most event-planners in Middlesbrough are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The honest truth: most local businesses lose more work to bad Google visibility than to bad service. Your skill is fine. Your work is fine. Your prices are fine. Your problem is that Google can't find you.
Real Clients We Already Run
Event Planners in Middlesbrough get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The event-planner listings ranking above them in Middlesbrough have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
If you cannot answer the phone (because you are on a job), the system automatically texts the caller back within seconds. The reply reads something like 'Hi, can't pick up right now, on a job. What do you need? I'll be back to you within the hour.'. About a third of those texts turn into actual jobs that would otherwise have been lost.
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?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
Do I need to do anything technical?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
