Marketing for Letting Agents in Sunderland That Brings In Real Calls
Built for letting-agents in Sunderland who've already tried Yell, Checkatrade, Bark, MyBuilder, and a relative's nephew who builds websites. Now they want it done properly by someone who answers the phone.
No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Sunderland as a letting-agent
Shipbuilding heritage, Glass Centre, Nissan factory, Stadium of Light. For letting-agents that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. North East coast climate; cold winters, prone to North Sea weather, moderate rainfall. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Across the SR postcode area in Sunderland, letting-agents mostly handle tenant finding and rent collection. The neighbourhoods we see most letting-agent calls from in Sunderland are Seaburn, Silksworth and Hendon.
What We Do
Letting Agents in Sunderland 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. Six things every month, all of them done by us so you do not need to think about any of it. We run your Google Business Profile properly with weekly photos and posts. We build and host your website on infrastructure that loads in under two seconds on a phone. We set up automatic review requests that fire after every job. We catch your missed calls with an instant text-back so the calls you cannot answer do not vanish. We write four blog posts a month tuned to the searches your customers actually use. And we send a monthly performance report you can read in five minutes.
For letting-agents in Sunderland, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real letting-agent jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches letting-agents customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a letting-agent, you already know the bread and butter: legal compliance and tenant finding, with rent collection when the season turns. Landlords with rental properties, property investors, accidental landlords, which means letting-agents need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Letting Agents Lose Calls Around Here
Letting Agents in Sunderland get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The letting-agent listings ranking above them in Sunderland have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the letting-agents we have spoken to in Sunderland, the same pattern keeps coming up. The letting-agents ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Sunderland get most of the calls. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
Missed-Call Text-Back
If you cannot answer the phone (because you are on a job), the system automatically texts the caller back within seconds. The reply reads something like 'Hi, can't pick up right now, on a job. What do you need? I'll be back to you within the hour.'. About a third of those texts turn into actual jobs that would otherwise have been lost.
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?
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?
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?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
