Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Derby is a particular kind of market. Rolls-Royce and Toyota manufacturing, railway heritage, Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The housing is mostly victorian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war estates, and modern developments near the city centre. We see calls coming from Littleover, Spondon, and the surrounding DE postcodes. If you cover those areas and you are not in the top of Google for them, that is the leak.
Across the DE postcode area in Derby, heating-engineers mostly handle radiator issues and boiler breakdowns. The neighbourhoods we see most heating-engineer calls from in Derby are Darley Abbey, Chellaston and Littleover.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Heating Engineers in Derby get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The heating-engineer listings ranking above them in Derby have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. We do the technical work that most owners hate: writing schema markup, optimising local citations, monitoring rank for the keywords that actually convert, fixing site speed issues, sorting NAP consistency. You never have to know what any of those words mean. We just do the work and report on the result.
Most heating-engineers in Derby we work with already have a website that is not ranking for heating-engineer searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the heating-engineer website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the heating-engineer profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
Most heating-engineers get the same kinds of calls: underfloor heating, boiler breakdowns, and central heating installation. Heating Engineers who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
When we look at heating-engineers in Derby who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the heating-engineer keywords Derby customers actually use. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
For heating-engineers covering Derby, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The heating-engineer customers in Derby Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

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
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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?
Nothing technical, no. We do all the work. You give us the basic details, we handle the rest. If something needs your input we will text or email and ask in plain English.
What if I already have a website?
Most of our current clients had a website before us. We brought theirs across without losing any URLs or domain authority. Yours would work the same way.
How long until I see results?
Different things move at different speeds. The missed-call system catches calls from day one. Google profile changes show in days. Search rankings take months. We are upfront about all of this from the start.
Can I cancel?
Three months, then it is month-to-month. Cancel by text. The website stays online (you keep the domain and the site), we just stop running the SEO and Google profile side of it.
