Cardiff: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
If you work Cardiff and the postcodes around it (CF), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of landscapers registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Cardiff's landscapers typically pick up calls from Whitchurch, Llandaff, Splott and the wider CF postcode area. The most common landscaper jobs in Cardiff are garden redesigns and drainage issues. The pattern of call volume in Cardiff tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
When we look at landscapers in Cardiff 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 landscaper keywords Cardiff customers actually use. 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.
Landscapers working Cardiff get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent landscaper searches (the ones with words like "drainage issues" and "garden redesigns"). We structure the landscaper website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for landscapers: paving and patios, drainage issues, lawn maintenance. The customers searching for a landscaper are usually homeowners wanting garden makeovers, new patios, fencing, or ongoing maintenance, and they Google before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell landscapers working Cardiff and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for landscaper searches in Cardiff is decided by the things most landscapers never touch. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
Real Clients We Already Run
Landscapers in Cardiff are competing with 40-90 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy landscapers from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. 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
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month.
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 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.
