No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Southampton as a pet-sitter
Pretty much every pet-sitter call in Southampton starts the same way: someone in Highfield or Bitterne needs help with insurance and bonding or holiday pet care, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Southampton's pet-sitters typically pick up calls from Woolston, Bassett, Portswood and the wider SO postcode area. The most common pet-sitter jobs in Southampton are specialist pet needs and last-minute bookings. The pattern of call volume in Southampton tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
For pet-sitters working Southampton, the picture looks like this. Most pet-sitters in Southampton 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 Southampton, the search terms that matter are not "pet-sitter" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "insurance and bonding" and "holiday pet care". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the pet-sitter pages of your site.
If you cover finding trusted sitters and specialist pet needs as a pet-sitter, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Pet Sitters who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Pet Sitters Lose Calls Around Here
For pet-sitters covering Southampton, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The pet-sitter customers in Southampton Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. 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 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
Plain version: phone rings, you cannot pick up, system texts the caller back within 10 seconds with a short reply in your tone of voice, customer texts back the issue, you reply when you are off the job. About a third of those texts become paid jobs.
Review Automation
The reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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. 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.
