No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Newcastle as a tattoo-artist
Tyne Bridge, Grey Street architecture, vibrant nightlife, and Premier League football. For tattoo-artists that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. North East coast climate; cold winters with occasional North Sea snow, moderate rainfall. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Looking at our existing tattoo-artists, the calls in Newcastle come overwhelmingly from Heaton, Byker and the catchment around North Shields. The tattoo-artist jobs in Newcastle are usually aftercare issues or finding the right style, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
What We Do
Tattoo Artists in Newcastle get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The tattoo-artist listings ranking above them in Newcastle 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 tattoo-artists in Newcastle, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real tattoo-artist jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches tattoo-artists customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a tattoo-artist, you already know the bread and butter: finding the right style and booking availability, with hygiene concerns when the season turns. Adults wanting new tattoos, people seeking cover-ups or sleeve work, which means tattoo-artists need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Tattoo Artists Lose Calls Around Here
For tattoo-artists working Newcastle, the picture looks like this. Most tattoo-artists in Newcastle are losing work to a handful of 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 Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Most SEO agencies work in three-month cycles and do nothing in between. We work weekly. Google Business Profile post on Monday, citation check on Tuesday, ranking pull on Wednesday, content review on Thursday. By Friday we know what is working and what to change.
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
Reviews come in on autopilot. We set up a system that asks your customers right after the job, while they are still happy. About a third leave a review. Over a year that is the difference between 8 reviews and 60.
What It Costs
£199 setup. £199 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
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?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
