Working Sunderland as a vet
If you work Sunderland and the postcodes around it (SR), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of vets registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Sunderland customers searching for a vet usually live in Silksworth, Pennywell, Washington or one of the satellite areas like Washington or Chester-le-Street. The local property mix in Sunderland drives a steady demand for dental care for pets and neutering and spaying from vets.
What We Do
For vets working Sunderland, the picture looks like this. Most vets in Sunderland are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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.
Vets working Sunderland get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent vet searches (the ones with words like "dental care for pets" and "emergency pet injuries"). We structure the vet website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for vets: emergency pet injuries, neutering and spaying, dental care for pets. The customers searching for a vet are usually pet owners needing routine and emergency veterinary care, and they Google before they call.
Why Vets Lose Calls Around Here
Vets in Sunderland are competing with 25-50 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy vets from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Your competitors with worse work and fewer years of experience are getting more calls than you. It is not because they are better. It is because Google shows them first.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Sunderland, the vets 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 vet services in Sunderland. We get your vet listing into that group. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO work includes weekly Google Business Profile posts, a monthly fresh photo upload, citation consistency checks across the 30 directories Google watches, on-page optimisation tweaks based on what is ranking, and weekly position tracking. No copy-paste reports.
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
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.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £299 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £449 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
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?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
