Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Derby is interesting because the housing is victorian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war estates, and modern developments near the city centre and that drives the kind of jobs that come up. The customers are mostly searching by area name (think 'letting-agent in Chellaston' or 'letting-agent near Allestree') so the local SEO needs to be tuned for those exact phrases.
If you cover Normanton, Spondon, Mickleover and the surrounding DE postcodes as a letting-agent in Derby, your customers are mostly searching for rent collection or property maintenance management. The letting-agent work in Derby tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Derby, 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 Derby. We get your letting-agent listing into that group. 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.
Specifically for letting-agents in Derby, we monitor about 25 local search terms that bring buying intent for letting-agent services. We update your Google profile weekly with fresh photos and posts, and we run automatic review requests after every letting-agent job. The whole letting-agent package costs £199/month.
Most calls letting-agents get are for void periods, rent collection, or property maintenance management. The work is governed by ARLA Propertymark, Client Money Protection, The Property Ombudsman and the typical letting-agent customer is landlords with rental properties, property investors, accidental landlords. Most letting-agents we work with see those exact problems make up four out of five jobs.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Here is what we tell letting-agents working Derby and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for letting-agent searches in Derby is decided by the things most letting-agents never touch. 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.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We target the search terms your customers actually type, not the ones the SEO tools say have the most volume. Half the high-volume keywords in any niche are useless because they are educational searches, not buying searches. We focus on the buying ones.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Costs nothing extra to run, included in the monthly price. Most clients save the cost of the whole package within the first fortnight from this single feature.
Review Automation
Review automation means you never have to ask 'mind leaving a review?' in person again. The system does it for you, by text, the same day. Customers who would have forgotten get reminded. Your Google profile fills up.
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?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
We handle every technical step. Website build, hosting, domain setup, DNS, Google Business Profile verification, schema markup, analytics. None of that is your job. You just answer the phone when calls come in.
What if I already have a website?
Easy. We migrate the existing site across and keep everything that is working. The domain stays yours. We just rebuild it on faster infrastructure and fix the things that are losing you calls.
How long until I see results?
We do not guarantee a number of leads or a ranking position because nobody can do that legitimately. We guarantee the work is done, the report is honest, and the system stays running. The results follow if you let it run for the three-month minimum.
Can I cancel?
Three-month minimum, then rolling. Cancel whenever, no fuss. The website stays yours, the domain stays yours, and we send you a clean handover so nothing breaks.
