Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
We see clear patterns in Derby: most calls for mortgage-brokers come from people in Spondon, Chaddesden, and customers who searched for 'mortgage-broker near Nottingham' or 'mortgage-broker in Spondon'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
Looking at our existing mortgage-brokers, the calls in Derby come overwhelmingly from Chaddesden, Littleover and the catchment around Ashbourne. The mortgage-broker jobs in Derby are usually self-employed mortgages or buy-to-let mortgages, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For mortgage-brokers working Derby (especially around Spondon and Chaddesden), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns mortgage-broker owners about. Most mortgage-brokers in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
Mortgage Brokers working Derby get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent mortgage-broker searches (the ones with words like "poor credit mortgages" and "first-time buyer mortgages"). We structure the mortgage-broker website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for mortgage-brokers: buy-to-let mortgages, poor credit mortgages, first-time buyer mortgages. The customers searching for a mortgage-broker are usually first-time buyers, homeowners remortgaging, property investors, self-employed individuals, and they Google before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For mortgage-brokers working Derby, the picture looks like this. Most mortgage-brokers in Derby are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The honest truth: most local businesses lose more work to bad Google visibility than to bad service. Your skill is fine. Your work is fine. Your prices are fine. Your problem is that Google can't find you.
Real Clients We Already Run
For mortgage-brokers working Derby (especially around Spondon and Chaddesden), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns mortgage-broker owners about. Most mortgage-brokers in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. Honest signal-to-noise: we charge real money to seven real UK businesses. We do not have free trials, partner programmes, affiliate links, or fake testimonials. Everything we do is paid for by people running their own trades businesses.

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?
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel anytime after the first three months.
What do you actually do every month?
We sort your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when locals search. We build you a website that loads fast on a phone. We get reviews coming in automatically after every job. We text customers back when you miss a call. And we send you a monthly report that shows what changed.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
