Telford's housing is new town development from the 1960s, older victorian areas in wellington and ironbridge, modern estates, which means the typical jobs for pet-sitters are predictable and repeat. The owners who get the call-outs are the ones whose listing turns up first when somebody in Stirchley or Brookside types the trade name into Google.
For pet-sitters working Telford, the busy postcodes are usually TF, with steady call volume from Wellington, Ketley and Oakengates. Typical pet-sitter jobs in Telford: insurance and bonding, specialist pet needs.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
When we look at pet-sitters in Telford who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the pet-sitter keywords Telford customers actually use. What you actually get: a real website (not a template), a properly run Google profile, an automated review system, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month, and a monthly report. All in. No upsells, no add-ons, no tiered features hidden behind a 'contact sales' button.
Pet Sitters in Telford typically have between 15-30 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your pet-sitter listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What customers Google when they need a pet-sitter: variations of specialist pet needs, insurance and bonding, and last-minute bookings. The pet-sitters that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Across the pet-sitters we have spoken to in Telford, the same pattern keeps coming up. The pet-sitters ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Telford get most of the calls. Most quiet phones are not a customer problem. They are an indexing problem. The customers are still there. Google just isn't pointing them at you yet.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
What we measure: keyword positions, Google Business Profile views, direction requests, calls from the listing, and form fills on your website. The monthly report shows all of these versus the previous month with no marketing spin.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Review automation means you never have to ask 'mind leaving a review?' in person again. The system does it for you, by text, the same day. Customers who would have forgotten get reminded. Your Google profile fills up.
What It Costs
Compare it to the alternatives: an SEO agency would charge you £600-1,500 a month and lock you into a year. A web designer would charge you £2,000-5,000 for the site alone and walk away. We charge £199 for the site and £199 a month for the management, all in.

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?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Not at all. We build, host, and run everything. If you can send a text message, you can use this service. We send you a monthly report and message you if we need anything from your end.
What if I already have a website?
Yes, that is normal. Most of our clients had a previous site (often built by an agency or a friend that did not work out). We bring it across, keep your domain, and rebuild whatever needs rebuilding.
How long until I see results?
Realistically: small wins from week one (more missed calls recovered, a few more reviews). Medium wins by month one (Google profile starting to climb). Bigger wins by month three (organic search rankings improving). Anyone promising overnight results is selling something.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel after the third month. No 30-day notice, no exit charge. The website is yours to keep. We just stop the management work.
