York: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
York is a particular kind of market. York Minster, medieval city walls, Shambles, railway museum, Viking and Roman heritage. The housing is mostly medieval city centre, georgian and victorian terraces, inter-war semis, and modern estates on the outskirts. We see calls coming from Bishopthorpe, Tang Hall, and the surrounding YO postcodes. If you cover those areas and you are not in the top of Google for them, that is the leak.
Across the YO postcode area in York, wedding-planners mostly handle supplier coordination and budget management. The neighbourhoods we see most wedding-planner calls from in York are Heworth, Fulford and Acomb.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For wedding-planners working York, the picture looks like this. Most wedding-planners in York are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. It is an everything-in package, not an a-la-carte menu. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, all bundled. Removing things does not make it cheaper because the system only works as a system.
Most wedding-planners in York we work with already have a website that is not ranking for wedding-planner searches and a Google profile that is half-empty. We rebuild the wedding-planner website on faster infrastructure and rebuild the wedding-planner profile from scratch with proper categories, photos and weekly posts.
Most wedding-planners get the same kinds of calls: timeline planning, budget management, and supplier coordination. Wedding Planners who show up first when somebody types those phrases into Google get the lion's share of the calls in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For wedding-planners working York (especially around Bishopthorpe and Tang Hall), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns wedding-planner owners about. Most wedding-planners in York are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. The brutal version: if you Googled your own business name plus your town right now, and you're not on page one with a full Google profile, photos, and reviews, you're losing work every week. Maybe every day.
Real Clients We Already Run
In York, the wedding-planners 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 wedding-planner services in York. We get your wedding-planner listing into that group. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

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
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
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?
Nothing technical, no. We do all the work. You give us the basic details, we handle the rest. If something needs your input we will text or email and ask in plain English.
What if I already have a website?
Most of our current clients had a website before us. We brought theirs across without losing any URLs or domain authority. Yours would work the same way.
How long until I see results?
Different things move at different speeds. The missed-call system catches calls from day one. Google profile changes show in days. Search rankings take months. We are upfront about all of this from the start.
Can I cancel?
Three months, then it is month-to-month. Cancel by text. The website stays online (you keep the domain and the site), we just stop running the SEO and Google profile side of it.
