Web Designers in Stoke-on-Trent: Get Found on Google Where It Counts
If you've been going round in circles trying to work out why Stoke-on-Trent's newer web-designers are getting more work than you, the answer is almost always the same: they sorted their Google listing and you didn't. We sort yours.

Working Stoke-on-Trent as a web-designer
Stoke-on-Trent's web-designer market is usually classified as one of the busier ones in the web-designers sector by region. Plenty of demand, plenty of competition. The trades that get the calls are the ones in the top three of Google Maps for the city. Everyone else is sharing scraps.
If you cover Longton, Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding ST postcodes as a web-designer in Stoke-on-Trent, your customers are mostly searching for not appearing on google or no enquiry forms. The web-designer work in Stoke-on-Trent tends to come in waves once your Google listing starts ranking for the right neighbourhood searches.
What We Do
Here is what we tell web-designers working Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for web-designer searches in Stoke-on-Trent is decided by the things most web-designers never touch. It is a one-stop replacement for: a freelance web developer, an SEO agency, a review-collection tool, and a missed-call answering service. All four jobs done by one person, for less than what most agencies charge for half of one of them.
Web Designers in Stoke-on-Trent who join the package go through the same web-designer-specific onboarding: we collect web-designer business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the web-designer site over the following week and start the web-designer SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for web-designers is mostly poor mobile experience, not appearing on google, and no enquiry forms. Most web-designers are accredited with No specific regulatory body; BCS (Chartered Institute for IT), and that is one of the things web-designer customers check before they call.
Why Web Designers Lose Calls Around Here
For web-designers covering Stoke-on-Trent, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The web-designer customers in Stoke-on-Trent Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. Here's what's really going on. When someone searches for what you do near them, Google shows three businesses on the map. Those three get most of the calls. If you're not in those three, you may as well not exist for that search.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at web-designers in Stoke-on-Trent who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the web-designer keywords Stoke-on-Trent customers actually use. What we have instead of fancy case studies: seven real businesses paying us monthly. Plumbers in three different towns. Heating engineers in two more. A paving firm. A bathroom fitter. All English-speaking owners we text directly.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We do the local SEO work weekly: keyword tracking for the searches that actually convert, Google Business Profile updates with fresh photos and posts, schema markup on every page of your site, and a monthly ranking report so you can see exactly what moved.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Customers who would have left a review forget to within 24 hours. The automation catches them in the window when they remember, while the job is still fresh. That window is the entire game with online reviews.

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?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
