Working Bradford as a pet-sitter
UNESCO City of Film, first UK City of Culture bid, wool trade heritage. For pet-sitters that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Pennine edge climate with cold winters and above-average rainfall; prone to hill fog. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Bradford's pet-sitters typically pick up calls from Shipley, Bingley, Heaton and the wider BD postcode area. The most common pet-sitter jobs in Bradford are specialist pet needs and holiday pet care. The pattern of call volume in Bradford tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
For pet-sitters working Bradford, the picture looks like this. Most pet-sitters in Bradford are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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 pet-sitters in Bradford, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real pet-sitter jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches pet-sitters customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a pet-sitter, you already know the bread and butter: holiday pet care and finding trusted sitters, with last-minute bookings when the season turns. Pet owners going on holiday, business travellers, people with specialist pets, which means pet-sitters need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Pet Sitters Lose Calls Around Here
For pet-sitters covering Bradford, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The pet-sitter customers in Bradford Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. Word of mouth still works, but it's slower than it used to be. The fastest-growing local businesses are the ones combining word of mouth with showing up on Google. Owners who rely on referrals alone are going backwards.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Bradford, the pet-sitters 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 pet-sitter services in Bradford. We get your pet-sitter listing into that group. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

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
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
Review Automation
The automation only asks customers we know are happy (most clients filter by job type before we send the trigger). If a customer was unhappy, we route them to a private feedback form instead so the public listing only collects positives.
What It Costs
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
One job from Google pays for the month. The price is £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.
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.
