How Northampton Roofers Are Climbing Google Right Now
Northampton's roofers are some of the best in the country. The problem is the customers searching on Google can't find them. That's the only thing this fixes.

Northampton: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Boot and shoe manufacturing capital of England, rapid growth as a New Town. East Midlands climate; relatively dry and moderate, some flooding near the River Nene. Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for roofers. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
For roofers working Northampton, the busy postcodes are usually NN, with steady call volume from Kingsthorpe, Duston and Great Houghton. Typical roofer jobs in Northampton: flat roof repairs, missing slates or tiles.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Across the roofers we have spoken to in Northampton, the same pattern keeps coming up. The roofers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Northampton get most of the calls. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Every roofer in Northampton on our list gets the same six things: a fast roofer website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each roofer job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to roofer buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Roofers usually serve homeowners with properties 20+ years old needing roof repairs or replacement. The jobs that come through tend to be missing slates or tiles, flat roof repairs, and chimney repairs. Roofers who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For roofers working Northampton (especially around Abington and Ecton Brook), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns roofer owners about. Most roofers in Northampton are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. Most owners we speak to have tried something. A website built by a friend. A Yell listing. A few hundred quid on Facebook ads. None of it worked because none of it fixed the actual problem: Google doesn't know they exist.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the roofers we have spoken to in Northampton, the same pattern keeps coming up. The roofers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Northampton get most of the calls. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We track every keyword you should be ranking for and check positions weekly. When something drops, we fix it that week, not next month. The monthly report shows every keyword and the change versus last month, in plain English.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Most owners we set this up for save the cost of the entire month's package in the first week, just from missed-call recoveries. It is the part of the system that pays back fastest.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
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?
One roof pays for 2 years. The price is £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. Cancel after the third month if it isn't working out.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
