Why It's Different for It Supports
It Supports get a steady stream of calls when their Google listing is sorted. When it is not, it dries up. There is almost no middle ground. You are either visible and busy or invisible and quietly dying.
If you cover cloud migration and hardware failures as an it-support, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. It Supports who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What We Actually Do
Here is what we tell it-supports when they ask why their phone has slowed down. Most it-support businesses are not ranking for the search terms that bring buying-intent calls in their area. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.
For it-supports, the search terms that matter are not "it-support" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "cybersecurity threats" and "network downtime". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the it-support pages of your site.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Among the it-supports we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent it-support searches. 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
Talking to it-supports who have come through our door, the same story comes up every time. It Supports are doing the work properly but the customers searching online cannot find them. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We do not pretend SEO is mysterious. It is mostly: clear keyword research, then doing the obvious work consistently, then measuring it. The agencies that overcomplicate it do so to justify the price. We just do the work and bill £199/month.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Without this, missed calls are just gone. Voicemail catches almost nothing in 2026 (most people do not leave them anymore). The text-back is the only way to recover that traffic.
Review Automation
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.
What It Costs
Here is the price. £199 for the website (one-off, yours to keep forever). £199 a month for the management. Less than £6.70 a day. Three-month minimum, then you can cancel any time you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
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. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
