Working Derby as a tree-surgeon
Working Derby as a tree-surgeon means competing with the dozens of others who have been there for years. The good news: most of them have rubbish Google listings. The bad news: a few of them do not, and those few get most of the work. We get you into that group.
The neighbourhoods that drive most call volume for tree-surgeons in Derby are Mickleover, Darley Abbey, and Spondon. Outlying areas like Burton upon Trent and Long Eaton send tree-surgeon work in too, especially for stump grinding and other urgent jobs.
What We Do
Here is what we tell tree-surgeons working Derby and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for tree-surgeon searches in Derby is decided by the things most tree-surgeons never touch. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Every tree-surgeon in Derby on our list gets the same six things: a fast tree-surgeon website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each tree-surgeon job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to tree-surgeon buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Tree Surgeons usually serve homeowners with large gardens, councils, estate managers, commercial property owners. The jobs that come through tend to be storm damage clearance, tree felling, and stump grinding. Tree Surgeons who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
Why Tree Surgeons Lose Calls Around Here
For tree-surgeons working Derby (especially around Allestree and Normanton), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns tree-surgeon owners about. Most tree-surgeons in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not your prices. The phone is quiet because the people who used to find you in the Yellow Pages now search Google, and Google doesn't show your business. That's the entire problem.
Real Clients We Already Run
Here is what we tell tree-surgeons working Derby and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for tree-surgeon searches in Derby is decided by the things most tree-surgeons never touch. Seven owners we know by name, currently paying. They are not brand ambassadors. They have not been asked to record video testimonials. They are running their businesses and we are running their online presence.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We track every keyword you should be ranking for and check positions weekly. When something drops, we fix it that week, not next month. The monthly report shows every keyword and the change versus last month, in plain English.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

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?
Three things, ranked by how quickly they pay back: missed-call text-back (instant), Google Business Profile management (weeks), and SEO (months). All three are included. No tiered features.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
