Working Glasgow as a pet-sitter
If you work Glasgow and the postcodes around it (G), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of pet-sitters registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Glasgow customers searching for a pet-sitter usually live in Kelvinside, Partick, Merchant City or one of the satellite areas like Paisley or Hamilton. The local property mix in Glasgow drives a steady demand for insurance and bonding and last-minute bookings from pet-sitters.
What We Do
Across the pet-sitters we have spoken to in Glasgow, the same pattern keeps coming up. The pet-sitters ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Glasgow get most of the calls. 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.
Pet Sitters working Glasgow get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent pet-sitter searches (the ones with words like "last-minute bookings" and "holiday pet care"). We structure the pet-sitter website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for pet-sitters: finding trusted sitters, specialist pet needs, holiday pet care. The customers searching for a pet-sitter are usually pet owners going on holiday, business travellers, people with specialist pets, and they Google before they call.
Why Pet Sitters Lose Calls Around Here
Pet Sitters in Glasgow get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The pet-sitter listings ranking above them in Glasgow have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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
Pet Sitters in Glasgow get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The pet-sitter listings ranking above them in Glasgow have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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.

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
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
Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.
What It Costs
£199 setup. £199 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £199 once and £199 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
What do you actually do every month?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
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.
