Liverpool: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
We see clear patterns in Liverpool: most calls for recruitment-agencies come from people in Woolton, West Derby, and customers who searched for 'recruitment-agency near St Helens' or 'recruitment-agency in Woolton'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
In Liverpool, the catchment for recruitment-agencies includes Aigburth, Wavertree, Allerton, and the wider L area. Calls for finding skilled candidates and industry-specific recruitment make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Liverpool, 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 Liverpool. We get your recruitment-agency listing into that group. 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 Liverpool get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent recruitment-agency searches (the ones with words like "temp to perm transitions" and "finding skilled candidates"). We structure the recruitment-agency website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for recruitment-agencies: high staff turnover, industry-specific recruitment, temp to perm transitions. 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
Across the recruitment-agencies we have spoken to in Liverpool, the same pattern keeps coming up. The recruitment-agencies ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Liverpool get most of the calls. The phones do not stop ringing because the work has dried up. They stop ringing because somebody else's listing is showing up first. That is the entire diagnosis nine times out of ten.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Liverpool, 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 Liverpool. We get your recruitment-agency listing into that group. 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
We do not pretend SEO is mysterious. It is mostly: clear keyword research, then doing the obvious work consistently, then measuring it. The agencies that overcomplicate it do so to justify the price. We just do the work and bill £199/month.
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
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.
What It Costs
There is no setup fee on top of the website. The website costs £199 once, that is the setup. Then it is £199 a month for the management. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
All in: £199 setup (one-off, covers the website, yours to keep) and £199 a month for everything else. We do not do tiered pricing or upsells. That is the price.
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.
