How Leicester Letting Agents Are Climbing Google Right Now
Leicester's letting-agents are some of the best in the country. The problem is the customers searching on Google can't find them. That's the only thing this fixes.

Leicester: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
One of the most diverse cities in England, Richard III discovery, home of the 2016 Premier League champions. East Midlands continental climate; drier than western cities with cold winters. 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.
For letting-agents working Leicester, the busy postcodes are usually LE, with steady call volume from Knighton, Evington and Clarendon Park. Typical letting-agent jobs in Leicester: rent collection, property maintenance management.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Here is what we tell letting-agents working Leicester and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for letting-agent searches in Leicester is decided by the things most letting-agents never touch. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Every letting-agent in Leicester 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 void periods, rent collection, and legal compliance. Letting Agents who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Across the letting-agents we have spoken to in Leicester, the same pattern keeps coming up. The letting-agents ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Leicester 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
For letting-agents covering Leicester, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The letting-agent customers in Leicester Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. 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
The SEO covers your Google Business Profile (run weekly with fresh posts and photos), your website (on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls), and your citations (consistent across the 30+ directories Google checks). Three pillars, all maintained continuously.
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
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
One job from Google pays for the month. The price is £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
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.
