Why It's Different for Painters
Painters get a steady stream of calls when their Google listing is sorted. When it is not, it dries up. There is almost no middle ground. You are either visible and busy or invisible and quietly dying.
If you cover exterior paint peeling and wallpaper hanging as a painter, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Painters who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What We Actually Do
Among the painters we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent painter searches. Specifically: a real website hosted on Vercel (loads in under two seconds anywhere in the UK), a Google Business Profile run weekly with new posts and photos, automatic review request texts after every job, and a monthly report that shows ranking changes in plain English. That's the system.
For painters, the search terms that matter are not "painter" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "wallpaper hanging" and "exterior paint peeling". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the painter pages of your site.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
Among the painters we have already taken on, every single one had the same bottleneck. Their Google profile was half-empty and their site was not ranking for the urgent painter searches. 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
When we sit down with painters and look at why the calls have stopped, this is what we usually find. The painter business has reviews, has skill, but is invisible on Google for the right local searches. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Most SEO agencies work in three-month cycles and do nothing in between. We work weekly. Google Business Profile post on Monday, citation check on Tuesday, ranking pull on Wednesday, content review on Thursday. By Friday we know what is working and what to change.
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
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?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
