No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Why It's Different for Skip Hires
Skip Hires have a particular problem when it comes to getting found online. The work is local, the calls are urgent (recycling compliance does not wait), and the competition is dense. The fix is not generic SEO. It is specifically getting you into the Google Map Pack for the searches your customers actually use.
Most skip-hires get the same kinds of calls: waste removal for renovations, garden clearance, and commercial waste disposal. Skip Hires who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
What We Actually Do
In our experience working with skip-hires, this is the part most skip-hire owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
Most skip-hires we work with already have a website that is not ranking for skip-hire searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the skip-hire website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the skip-hire profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
For skip-hires specifically, the picture looks like this. Most skip-hires we speak to are losing work to two or three local competitors with better-ranked Google listings. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
The Clients We Already Run
Here is what we tell skip-hires when they ask why their phone has slowed down. Most skip-hire businesses are not ranking for the search terms that bring buying-intent calls in their area. We do not have testimonials. We have card payments. Seven of them every month, all from real UK trades businesses you can find on Google. The mix is plumbers in three towns, heating engineers in two more, a paving firm in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When the phone rings and you can't pick up, the customer's phone gets a text within 10 seconds. The text is short and human: a hello, an apology, a question about what they need. Most reply within five minutes. About a third book in.
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?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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?
Nothing technical, no. We do all the work. You give us the basic details, we handle the rest. If something needs your input we will text or email and ask in plain English.
What if I already have a website?
Most of our current clients had a website before us. We brought theirs across without losing any URLs or domain authority. Yours would work the same way.
How long until I see results?
Different things move at different speeds. The missed-call system catches calls from day one. Google profile changes show in days. Search rankings take months. We are upfront about all of this from the start.
Can I cancel?
Three months, then it is month-to-month. Cancel by text. The website stays online (you keep the domain and the site), we just stop running the SEO and Google profile side of it.
