Six numbers about your business

We prepare them before we meet, then go through them with you in fifteen minutes, at your place or on a video call. You keep the numbers and one clear diagnosis, whether or not we work together.

1How much of your ad budget goes on searches that never turn into an enquiry.
2Whether your phone gets answered after 5pm and on a Saturday morning. We ring, just like a customer would.
3Where you appear on Google Maps next to your three nearest competitors.
4How your reviews compare with theirs.
5How many taps it takes to call you from your website on a phone.
6What one enquiry costs you today.

Two of the six need read-only access to your Google Ads account. Without it, you get the four we can see from outside, and we say which is which.

What we look after

Google Ads

Your campaigns rebuilt around calls and bookings, then checked every week.

Google Maps and reviews

A complete, up-to-date profile, and a simple routine for asking customers for reviews, with replies you approve.

Your website

Small, practical fixes so people can call, book or ask a question from their phone.

How we work together

Step 1

Ad Spend Check

Free

Fifteen minutes. Six numbers and a diagnosis you keep.

Step 2

Two-week sprint

£1,500

We rebuild your Google Ads around calls and bookings, set up call and form tracking and a text reply for missed calls, and agree one target for the next 90 days. Everything we build stays yours.

Step 3

Month by month

£2,000

Your ads checked and adjusted every week. Google Maps, reviews and website fixes. Your Monthly Sheet and a 20-minute call every month. A proper review with Igor every quarter.

Who does the work. Igor runs your check, sets the plan, looks at your account every week and takes your monthly call himself. Our own tools handle the routine, like gathering the numbers for your sheet. If a job needs someone else, such as a web developer, you'll know before it starts.

Your Monthly Sheet

One page, every month. It shows everything you spent, our fee included, who got in touch, and what each new customer cost you.

You mark who became a customer. It takes a couple of minutes a week. The weaker months go on the page too.

Terms that protect you

One business per trade in each postcode district

While you're with us, we won't work with another business in your trade in your postcode district.

Is your trade free in your area?

Everything we set up is in your name from day one

Your ad account, Google Business Profile, domain, website design and wording, data and logins.

You pay Google directly

We never add a margin to your ad budget.

Three months, then 30 days' notice

After the sprint there's a three-month minimum. After that, you can leave with 30 days' notice and take everything with you.

We never promise a number of customers

We agree one target at the start and report against it every month.

Nothing goes live without your say-so

New ads and pages are shown to you first. Enquiries come straight to you; we only see the counts you mark.
