Working York as a letting-agent
York Minster, medieval city walls, Shambles, railway museum, Viking and Roman heritage. Vale of York climate; prone to flooding from the Ouse and Foss, cold winters, moderate rainfall. Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for letting-agents. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
Letting Agents working York typically cover Clifton, The Groves, Bishopthorpe, plus outlying areas like Malton. The pattern keeps letting-agent demand for legal compliance steady across most of York through the year.
What We Do
Across the letting-agents we have spoken to in York, the same pattern keeps coming up. The letting-agents ranking in the top three of Google Maps for York get most of the calls. The whole package, run by us so you don't have to think about it. Website. Google profile. Reviews. SEO. Missed-call recovery. Quote follow-ups. Monthly report. You keep doing your job, we handle the online side.
Every letting-agent in York on our list gets the same six things: a fast letting-agent website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each letting-agent job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to letting-agent buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Letting Agents usually serve landlords with rental properties, property investors, accidental landlords. The jobs that come through tend to be tenant finding, property maintenance management, and legal compliance. Letting Agents who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
Why Letting Agents Lose Calls Around Here
Across the letting-agents we have spoken to in York, the same pattern keeps coming up. The letting-agents ranking in the top three of Google Maps for York get most of the calls. You can spot a business that has not done the Google work because the owner is always 'a bit slow this month'. The trades with sorted listings are not slow, ever. They might be picky about which jobs they take, but slow is not a thing.
Real Clients We Already Run

Seven owners we know by name, currently paying. They are not brand ambassadors. They have not been asked to record video testimonials. They are running their businesses and we are running their online presence.

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
We have seen owners on this system go from 'a quiet week' to 'fully booked' just because the missed-call text turned dropped calls into actual job enquiries. It is genuinely the highest-ROI thing in the whole package.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

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?
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?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
