Why It's Different for Nurseries
What works for nurseries is the opposite of what most marketing courses teach. No funnels, no lead magnets, no email sequences. Just first-page Google rankings and a phone that gets answered. We sort both.
If you are a nursery, you already know the bread and butter: childcare costs and waiting lists, with holiday cover when the season turns. Parents of children aged 0-5 looking for childcare, working parents needing flexible hours, which means nurseries need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
What We Actually Do
For nurseries reading this who already feel like they have tried everything, here is the bit nobody mentions. Most nursery marketing advice is generic and does not actually move the needle for nurseries. 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.
For nurseries, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real nursery jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches nurseries customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Nurseries get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for nurseries in 2026. The brutal version: if you Googled your own business name plus your town right now, and you're not on page one with a full Google profile, photos, and reviews, you're losing work every week. Maybe every day.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with nurseries, this is the part most nursery owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. Seven clients across plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. Spread across Pontyclun, Nottingham, Liverpool, Battle, Staines, Blackpool and Cheshunt. None of them were promised the moon. All of them are still here.
Next Step: A Free Audit
Honest framing: the audit is free because it costs us about 30 minutes of automated checks plus 10 minutes of a real human looking at the results. We do that because most owners don't trust marketing pitches anymore (rightly), and a real audit is the only way to start a useful conversation.
The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.
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?
£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?
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?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
