Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Rolls-Royce and Toyota manufacturing, railway heritage, Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. For tilers that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. East Midlands climate; moderate rainfall, prone to River Derwent flooding. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
Looking at our existing tilers, the calls in Derby come overwhelmingly from Littleover, Darley Abbey and the catchment around Belper. The tiler jobs in Derby are usually cracked tiles or grout issues, and the customer base is shaped by the property mix in those neighbourhoods.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Derby, 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 Derby. We get your tiler listing into that group. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For tilers in Derby, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real tiler jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches tilers customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are a tiler, you already know the bread and butter: bathroom retiling and cracked tiles, with kitchen splashbacks when the season turns. Homeowners renovating bathrooms and kitchens, builders needing specialist tiling, which means tilers need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Tilers in Derby get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The tiler listings ranking above them in Derby have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. Word of mouth still works, but it's slower than it used to be. The fastest-growing local businesses are the ones combining word of mouth with showing up on Google. Owners who rely on referrals alone are going backwards.
Real Clients We Already Run
For tilers working Derby, the picture looks like this. Most tilers in Derby are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. The Pontyclun plumber paid in two days. The Nottingham one paid in six. The bathroom fitter in Blackpool paid in four. The heating engineer in Liverpool paid in four. None of them were on a free trial. None of them got a discount. They all just looked at the work and said yes.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
SEO done properly: we research the search terms your customers actually use (not the ones an SEO tool says you should target), optimise your site and Google profile for those terms, and check rankings every week so we can adjust if something stops working.
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
Two numbers. £199 once for the site itself, £199 every month for the management. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. Three months minimum then rolling.
Setup
£199
One-off. Covers your website. Yours to keep forever.

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 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?
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.
