Web Designers: Get Found on Google Without the Agency Markup

Why It's Different for Web Designers
You can spot a web-designer who has not done the Google work because their phone slows down at the same rate the local population grows. The trades who have done the work just keep getting busier.
Bread-and-butter jobs for web-designers: outdated website, no enquiry forms, poor mobile experience. The customers searching for a web-designer are usually small businesses needing a website, established businesses needing a redesign, and they Google before they call.
What We Actually Do
Here is what we tell web-designers when they ask why their phone has slowed down. Most web-designer businesses are not ranking for the search terms that bring buying-intent calls in their area. Run by one person who actually knows what he is doing, not an agency where you get passed between five account managers. Website, Google profile, SEO, reviews, missed-call recovery. All done, all reported on monthly.
Web Designers get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent web-designer searches (the ones with words like "poor mobile experience" and "outdated website"). We structure the web-designer website so the phone number is always visible.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our web-designers and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. The thing nobody tells you when you start a trade is that being good at the work is about a third of the battle. The other two thirds are getting found and not letting calls go to voicemail. We help with both.
The Clients We Already Run
In our experience working with web-designers, this is the part most web-designer owners do not realise. Google decides who gets called before the customer even sees a price or a review. Seven clients across plumbing, heating, paving and bathroom fitting. Spread across Pontyclun, Nottingham, Liverpool, Battle, Staines, Blackpool and Cheshunt. None of them were promised the moon. All of them are still here.

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
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
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.

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?
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?
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.
