No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Cardiff as a tiler
We see clear patterns in Cardiff: most calls for tilers come from people in Cathays, Canton, and customers who searched for 'tiler near Barry' or 'tiler in Cathays'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
Across the CF postcode area in Cardiff, tilers mostly handle underfloor heating tiling and bathroom retiling. The neighbourhoods we see most tiler calls from in Cardiff are Whitchurch, Cathays and Llandaff.
What We Do
In Cardiff, the tilers 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 tiler services in Cardiff. We get your tiler listing into that group. 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.
Tilers working Cardiff get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent tiler searches (the ones with words like "kitchen splashbacks" and "cracked tiles"). We structure the tiler website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for tilers: kitchen splashbacks, bathroom retiling, grout issues. The customers searching for a tiler are usually homeowners renovating bathrooms and kitchens, builders needing specialist tiling, and they Google before they call.
Why Tilers Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at tilers in Cardiff who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the tiler keywords Cardiff customers actually use. 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
For tilers working Cardiff, the picture looks like this. Most tilers in Cardiff are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO at its core is three things: a Google Business Profile that gets updated weekly, a website that loads fast and has the right keywords on it, and citations across the directories Google trusts. We do all three properly and continuously.
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
The reviews bit is fully automated: a text goes out after each job with a direct link to your Google review page. Customers tap once and they are typing the review. About one in three actually leaves one, which is roughly five times the industry average.
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.
