Letting Agents: Stop Losing Jobs to Competitors Who Just Rank Higher
Most letting-agents we speak to have been burned by an agency before. We get it. Here's why this is different and why we're cheaper than the last ones who didn't deliver.

Why It's Different for Letting Agents
If you are a letting-agent, your customers do not read blog posts or browse websites for fun. They Google something like 'emergency letting-agent near me' and call the first person who looks vaguely competent. The whole game is being one of the first three results.
What customers Google when they need a letting-agent: variations of void periods, legal compliance, and rent collection. The letting-agents that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
What We Actually Do
Talking to letting-agents who have come through our door, the same story comes up every time. Letting Agents are doing the work properly but the customers searching online cannot find them. We replace four or five things you would normally pay separately for: web designer, SEO agency, social media person, review-request app, missed-call system. One package, one price, one person to talk to.
Letting Agents typically have between 30-100 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your letting-agent listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell letting-agents when they ask why their phone has slowed down. Most letting-agent businesses are not ranking for the search terms that bring buying-intent calls in their area. Your customers haven't disappeared. They're searching Google like they always have. The difference is now there are 80 other businesses fighting for the same three slots, and the ones with more reviews and better-optimised listings are winning.
The Clients We Already Run
When we sit down with letting-agents and look at why the calls have stopped, this is what we usually find. The letting-agent business has reviews, has skill, but is invisible on Google for the right local searches. Seven paying clients across the UK. A plumber in Pontyclun who started us in March. A plumber in Nottingham with 188 reviews on Google. A heating engineer in Liverpool. A paving contractor in Staines. A bathroom fitter in Blackpool. A heating engineer near Battle. A plumber in Cheshunt. All paying monthly.

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
Customers who would have left a review forget to within 24 hours. The automation catches them in the window when they remember, while the job is still fresh. That window is the entire game with online reviews.
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?
Three things, ranked by how quickly they pay back: missed-call text-back (instant), Google Business Profile management (weeks), and SEO (months). All three are included. No tiered features.
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.
