Working Telford as an optician
The optician customers in Telford are split roughly in half between long-term residents who already have someone they trust and newer residents (or younger ones) who Google for everything. The newer half is who you want, and Google is the only way to reach them.
Looking at our existing opticians, the calls in Telford come overwhelmingly from Dawley, Wellington and the catchment around Wellington. The optician jobs in Telford are usually children's eye tests or deteriorating vision, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Opticians in Telford get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The optician listings ranking above them in Telford have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For opticians in Telford, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real optician jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches opticians customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are an optician, you already know the bread and butter: eye strain from screens and deteriorating vision, with specialist eyewear when the season turns. Adults needing regular eye tests, parents with school-age children, contact lens wearers, which means opticians need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Opticians Lose Calls Around Here
Opticians in Telford get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The optician listings ranking above them in Telford have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at opticians in Telford who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the optician keywords Telford customers actually use. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.
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
Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
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.
What It Costs
There is no setup fee on top of the website. The website costs £199 once, that is the setup. Then it is £199 a month for the management. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
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.
