London: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Working as a recruitment-agency in London you are competing for attention against 200-400 other businesses doing the same thing. Most of them have not put any effort into their Google profile. That is your opening.
Looking at our existing recruitment-agencies, the calls in London come overwhelmingly from Greenwich, Camden and the catchment around Croydon. The recruitment-agency jobs in London are usually industry-specific recruitment or temp to perm transitions, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Recruitment Agencies in London get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The recruitment-agency listings ranking above them in London have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Not a DIY platform. Not a course. Not a coaching call. We do all of it for you. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, monthly report. Done.
For recruitment-agencies in London, the search terms that matter are not "recruitment-agency" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "finding skilled candidates" and "high staff turnover". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the recruitment-agency pages of your site.
If you cover finding skilled candidates and industry-specific recruitment as a recruitment-agency, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Recruitment Agencies who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For recruitment-agencies working London (especially around Fulham and Dulwich), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns recruitment-agency owners about. Most recruitment-agencies in London are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the recruitment-agencies we have spoken to in London, the same pattern keeps coming up. The recruitment-agencies ranking in the top three of Google Maps for London get most of the calls. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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.

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 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.
