How Cardiff Letting Agents Are Filling Their Diary from Google
Cardiff customers don't browse for letting-agents. They Google one and call the first three results. We make sure your business is one of those three so the calls land on your phone.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Working Cardiff as a letting-agent
Cardiff's housing is victorian and edwardian terraces from the coal export era, inter-war semis, and modern bay developments, which means the typical jobs for letting-agents are predictable and repeat. The owners who get the call-outs are the ones whose listing turns up first when somebody in Llandaff or Pontcanna types the trade name into Google.
Letting Agents working Cardiff have a slightly different mix than letting-agents elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Cardiff letting-agent calls come from Roath, Riverside, Canton and the corridor toward Pontypridd.
What We Do
In Cardiff, the letting-agents 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 letting-agent services in Cardiff. We get your letting-agent listing into that group. Here is exactly what we do, in plain English. We sort out your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when people search nearby. We build you a fast website that loads on a phone in under two seconds. We get you reviews automatically after every job. And we set up a system that texts back when you miss a call.
Letting Agents in Cardiff typically have between 25-50 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 customers Google when they need a letting-agent: variations of property maintenance management, void periods, and rent collection. The letting-agents that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
Why Letting Agents Lose Calls Around Here
Across the letting-agents we have spoken to in Cardiff, the same pattern keeps coming up. The letting-agents ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Cardiff get most of the calls. If you ask the average local business owner what their marketing is, the answer is usually 'word of mouth'. Word of mouth is great. It is also slow, unpredictable, and dries up the moment your best customers move house. Google is the bit that backs it up.
Real Clients We Already Run
Letting Agents in Cardiff are competing with 25-50 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy letting-agents from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO is the bulk of what we do. Real keyword research using DataForSEO, on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls, Google profile management every week, and ranking checks every Monday. No hand-waving, no monthly PDF that says 'progressing well'.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Most owners we set this up for save the cost of the entire month's package in the first week, just from missed-call recoveries. It is the part of the system that pays back fastest.
Review Automation
Most owners undercount how much reviews matter for ranking. Every additional review is a small boost to your local pack position, especially when the review mentions the service or area. The automation makes that compound silently in the background.
What It Costs
Total cost: £199 setup, then £199 each month. Less than £6.70 a day. Compare that to one Checkatrade subscription that locks you into twelve months for the same price and gives you nothing but a listing.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first three months.
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.
