Letting Agents in London: How to Get Into the Google Map Pack
We work with letting-agents across London who were sick of being invisible on Google while less experienced competitors got all the calls.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
London: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Most letting-agents working London cover Brixton, Shoreditch, and a bit of Watford. The customers in those areas Google for what they need before they call anyone, and Google usually shows them three options. We get you into those three.
The neighbourhoods that drive most call volume for letting-agents in London are Islington, Hackney, and Dulwich. Outlying areas like Barnet and Bromley send letting-agent work in too, especially for void periods and other urgent jobs.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In London, 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 London. We get your letting-agent listing into that group. 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.
Letting Agents in London who join the package go through the same letting-agent-specific onboarding: we collect letting-agent business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the letting-agent site over the following week and start the letting-agent SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for letting-agents is mostly tenant finding, void periods, and legal compliance. Most letting-agents are accredited with ARLA Propertymark, Client Money Protection, The Property Ombudsman, and that is one of the things letting-agent customers check before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For letting-agents working London (especially around Brixton and Shoreditch), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns letting-agent owners about. Most letting-agents in London are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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 working London, the picture looks like this. Most letting-agents in London are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. Not a hundred clients, not a thousand. Seven, all paying, all in the UK, all hands-on businesses spanning plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. We can name every one of them and you are welcome to call them.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
What we measure: keyword positions, Google Business Profile views, direction requests, calls from the listing, and form fills on your website. The monthly report shows all of these versus the previous month with no marketing spin.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.
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?
All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.
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?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
