London: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
The UK's capital and largest city, home to 9 million people. For tilers that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. Milder than most of the UK but prone to urban heat island effects and surface water flooding. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
London customers searching for a tiler usually live in Camden, Fulham, Brixton or one of the satellite areas like Bromley or Croydon. The local property mix in London drives a steady demand for kitchen splashbacks and cracked tiles from tilers.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Here is what we tell tilers working London and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for tiler searches in London is decided by the things most tilers never touch. 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 tilers in London, 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: cracked tiles and grout issues, 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
In London, 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 London. We get your tiler listing into that group. 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.
Real Clients We Already Run
For tilers working London (especially around Hackney and Fulham), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns tiler owners about. Most tilers in London are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
Missed-Call Text-Back
If you cannot answer the phone (because you are on a job), the system automatically texts the caller back within seconds. The reply reads something like 'Hi, can't pick up right now, on a job. What do you need? I'll be back to you within the hour.'. About a third of those texts turn into actual jobs that would otherwise have been lost.
Review Automation
We send the request as a polite text the same day, with a single tap link to your Google profile. No app downloads, no signup, no friction. The customer is on the review page in two taps.
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
One job from Google pays for the month. 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?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
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.
