No twelve-month contracts · cancel after the third month · website yours forever
Working Peterborough as a pet-sitter
We see clear patterns in Peterborough: most calls for pet-sitters come from people in Stanground, Paston, and customers who searched for 'pet-sitter near Yaxley' or 'pet-sitter in Stanground'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
Peterborough customers searching for a pet-sitter usually live in Eye, Stanground, Dogsthorpe or one of the satellite areas like Stamford or Oundle. The local property mix in Peterborough drives a steady demand for finding trusted sitters and specialist pet needs from pet-sitters.
What We Do
In Peterborough, 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 Peterborough. We get your pet-sitter listing into that group. 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.
Pet Sitters working Peterborough get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent pet-sitter searches (the ones with words like "insurance and bonding" and "holiday pet care"). We structure the pet-sitter website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for pet-sitters: specialist pet needs, last-minute bookings, 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
Across the pet-sitters we have spoken to in Peterborough, the same pattern keeps coming up. The pet-sitters ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Peterborough get most of the calls. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the pet-sitters we have spoken to in Peterborough, the same pattern keeps coming up. The pet-sitters ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Peterborough get most of the calls. 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
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
It is the cheapest way to get an immediate uplift in jobs because the customers were already calling you. They just gave up when nobody answered. The auto-text catches them mid-give-up and turns them back into a real conversation.
Review Automation
Reviews come in on autopilot. We set up a system that asks your customers right after the job, while they are still happy. About a third leave a review. Over a year that is the difference between 8 reviews and 60.
What It Costs
Here is the price. £199 for the website (one-off, yours to keep forever). £199 a month for the management. Less than £6.70 a day. Three-month minimum, then you can cancel any time 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?
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?
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.
