How to Get More Customers as a surveyor in the UK
Built for surveyors who'd rather spend an hour on Google than on yet another sales call from an SEO agency in Mayfair.

Why It's Different for Surveyors
The surveyor market in the UK is brutal because most of the work comes from urgent searches. Follows the housing market cycle; busiest March-July and September-November. That means there is no time to nurture leads. You either show up first or you do not get the call at all.
Bread-and-butter jobs for surveyors: valuations, party wall surveys, homebuyer surveys. The customers searching for a surveyor are usually homebuyers needing pre-purchase surveys, homeowners with structural concerns, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
Talking to surveyors who have come through our door, the same story comes up every time. Surveyors are doing the work properly but the customers searching online cannot find them. 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.
Surveyors get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent surveyor searches (the ones with words like "building surveys for older properties" and "homebuyer surveys"). We structure the surveyor website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our surveyors and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with surveyors, this is the part most surveyor owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. Honest signal-to-noise: we charge real money to seven real UK businesses. We do not have free trials, partner programmes, affiliate links, or fake testimonials. Everything we do is paid for by people running their own trades businesses.

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
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
We send the request as a polite text the same day, with a single tap link to your Google profile. No app downloads, no signup, no friction. The customer is on the review page in two taps.
What It Costs
Flat fee: £199 once + £199/month. Less than £6.70 a day. After three months you can cancel any time and the website stays yours. No exit fees, no transfer admin charges, no nonsense.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
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?
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.
