Leicester: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
If you work Leicester and the postcodes around it (LE), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of recruitment-agencies registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Looking at our existing recruitment-agencies, the calls in Leicester come overwhelmingly from Braunstone, Stoneygate and the catchment around Coalville. The recruitment-agency jobs in Leicester are usually finding skilled candidates or industry-specific recruitment, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Recruitment Agencies in Leicester get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The recruitment-agency listings ranking above them in Leicester have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. It is an everything-in package, not an a-la-carte menu. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, all bundled. Removing things does not make it cheaper because the system only works as a system.
Recruitment Agencies working Leicester get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent recruitment-agency searches (the ones with words like "speed of hire" and "finding skilled candidates"). We structure the recruitment-agency website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for recruitment-agencies: industry-specific recruitment, temp to perm transitions, finding skilled candidates. The customers searching for a recruitment-agency are usually small and medium businesses needing staff, job seekers, hr departments needing temporary cover, and they Google before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For recruitment-agencies working Leicester (especially around Evington and Braunstone), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns recruitment-agency owners about. Most recruitment-agencies in Leicester are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Leicester, the recruitment-agencies 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 recruitment-agency services in Leicester. We get your recruitment-agency listing into that group. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first 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
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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.

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?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
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.
