Why It's Different for Damp Proofings
Two things matter for damp-proofings more than anything: how fast someone can see your phone number, and whether your reviews look better than the next listing's. Get those two right and the rest is fine-tuning.
If you are a damp-proofing, you already know the bread and butter: basement waterproofing and rising damp, with condensation problems when the season turns. Homeowners with damp and mould issues, homebuyers after surveys, landlords with complaints, which means damp-proofings need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
What We Actually Do
When we sit down with damp-proofings and look at why the calls have stopped, this is what we usually find. The damp-proofing business has reviews, has skill, but is invisible on Google for the right local searches. 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.
For damp-proofings, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real damp-proofing jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches damp-proofings customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Damp Proofings get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for damp-proofings in 2026. 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.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with damp-proofings, this is the part most damp-proofing owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. We do not have testimonials. We have card payments. Seven of them every month, all from real UK trades businesses you can find on Google. The mix is plumbers in three towns, heating engineers in two more, a paving firm in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool.

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
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
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.
What It Costs
£199 setup. £199 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first 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?
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.
