How Hull Groundworkers Are Filling Their Diary from Google
If you've got reviews, you've got skill, and you've got the work, but the calls have dried up, your problem is Google, not the market. We fix the Google bit.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Working Hull as a groundworker
Hull's housing is victorian terraces, inter-war council housing, post-war estates, and modern city centre regeneration, which means the typical jobs for groundworkers are predictable and repeat. The owners who get the call-outs are the ones whose listing turns up first when somebody in Avenues or Bransholme types the trade name into Google.
Groundworkers working Hull have a slightly different mix than groundworkers elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Hull groundworker calls come from Hessle, Bransholme, Newland and the corridor toward Hessle.
What We Do
Groundworkers in Hull are competing with 80-150 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy groundworkers from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. The whole package, run by us so you don't have to think about it. Website. Google profile. Reviews. SEO. Missed-call recovery. Quote follow-ups. Monthly report. You keep doing your job, we handle the online side.
Groundworkers in Hull typically have between 80-150 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your groundworker listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What customers Google when they need a groundworker: variations of concrete work, retaining walls, and foundation digging. The groundworkers that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
Why Groundworkers Lose Calls Around Here
Groundworkers in Hull are competing with 80-150 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy groundworkers from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Most owners we speak to have tried something. A website built by a friend. A Yell listing. A few hundred quid on Facebook ads. None of it worked because none of it fixed the actual problem: Google doesn't know they exist.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Hull, the groundworkers 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 groundworker services in Hull. We get your groundworker listing into that group. Small client list, on purpose. Seven UK trades businesses, each on a monthly plan, each with the same mobile number to text. The plan is to keep growing slowly enough that the service quality stays the same.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We track every keyword you should be ranking for and check positions weekly. When something drops, we fix it that week, not next month. The monthly report shows every keyword and the change versus last month, in plain English.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
After every job (or once a week, depending on your workflow) the system automatically asks your customers for a Google review. About one in three actually leaves one. Over a year, that adds up to dozens of fresh reviews on your listing.
What It Costs
Compare it to the alternatives: an SEO agency would charge you £600-1,500 a month and lock you into a year. A web designer would charge you £2,000-5,000 for the site alone and walk away. We charge £199 for the site and £199 a month for the management, all in.

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?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Not at all. We build, host, and run everything. If you can send a text message, you can use this service. We send you a monthly report and message you if we need anything from your end.
What if I already have a website?
Yes, that is normal. Most of our clients had a previous site (often built by an agency or a friend that did not work out). We bring it across, keep your domain, and rebuild whatever needs rebuilding.
How long until I see results?
Realistically: small wins from week one (more missed calls recovered, a few more reviews). Medium wins by month one (Google profile starting to climb). Bigger wins by month three (organic search rankings improving). Anyone promising overnight results is selling something.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel after the third month. No 30-day notice, no exit charge. The website is yours to keep. We just stop the management work.
