Google Ads, websites and SEO / London

We get the phone ringing for local service businesses.

Google Ads, the landing pages they point at, and the hosting underneath, run as one thing by one supplier. We are judged on enquiries, cost per lead and booked appointments. Not impressions, and not a monthly report full of charts nobody reads.

What we do

One job, done in the right order.

These are not four separate services you pick from a menu. Google Ads brings people who are already looking. The page decides whether they get in touch. The hosting decides how fast that page loads, which decides what the advertising costs you. SEO builds the slower half underneath it.

Where we start

Google Ads

Get in front of people searching for what you sell, today. We buy the searches with buying intent, block the ones that waste money, track calls and WhatsApp properly, and feed the enquiries that turned into real work back to Google so the bidding learns from your customers rather than your form fills.

Websites & hosting

We build the pages our own campaigns point at, and we host them ourselves. That way performance never depends on another agency's cooperation, and a page can change the same afternoon. Updates, backups, security and downtime stop being anything you think about. Builds from £4,000.

Local SEO

The slower half, and worth starting early for exactly that reason. A page for each service in each area you cover, your Google Business Profile actually maintained, and the technical work that stops Google ignoring pages you paid to have written.

Businesses we have worked with

Local service businesses, mostly family run.

Dental practices, installers, fitters and property people. The work has changed over the years, from logos and websites to campaigns that have to produce enquiries, but the type of business has not.

Why one supplier

Two suppliers. One problem. Nobody responsible.

Most owners we speak to have lived some version of this. The ads agency says the website is not converting. The developer says the traffic is poor quality. Both are partly right, neither will fix it, and you are the one paying for the argument while the budget keeps running.

When this happens

Ads agency plus a separate developer

Bold Tony

The page needs changing

You raise a ticket, wait for a quote, then chase it. Two weeks if you are lucky.

Message Don. It is changed the same day, usually within the hour.

Enquiries drop

Each supplier explains why it is the other one's fault. You are left to referee it.

One party to ask, and one party who cannot pass it on. We tell you what we found.

Tracking breaks

Weeks of data lost before anyone notices, and Google's bidding learns the wrong lesson.

We built the form and the tracking together, so we are alerted when it stops.

Who you will actually deal with

Bold Tony is two people. Neither of them is called Tony.

We are a husband and wife studio in London. VJ designs, Don builds the sites and runs the campaigns, and Don is the person you deal with from the first call onwards. Where a job needs a specialist, and occasionally it does, we bring in people we have worked with for years, all of them here in London, and we manage them ourselves. You are never handed a supplier to chase.

Most of our clients are family businesses too, which is probably why the arrangement suits them. You get a direct number, straight answers, and someone who remembers your business without opening a file first.

Don was able to quickly pinpoint significant website issues I had that were impeding my SEO performance... His clear communication, professionalism, and skill make him an invaluable resource.

Whether we are a fit

We are not right for everybody, and that is worth knowing early.

We would rather tell you on the first call than take a fee and hope. If the arithmetic does not work for your business, we will say so and point you somewhere better.

A good fit if

  • You sell a considered service people enquire about first. Treatments, installations, fitted work, repairs, property services.
  • A single new customer is worth several hundred pounds or more to you.
  • You can answer the phone, or have somebody who can. Speed of reply decides most of these jobs.
  • You want one supplier who owns the result rather than two who can blame each other.

Not a fit if

  • You are selling products online. We do not do ecommerce, and a shopping specialist will serve you better.
  • You want brand awareness rather than enquiries. We are the wrong shape of agency for that entirely.
  • You need it all live next week. Doing it properly takes a fortnight and we will not pretend otherwise.
  • Enquiries sit unanswered for days. We can make the phone ring. We cannot make anyone pick it up.

Start here

A short call with Don. No pitch deck and no pressure. We tell you what a realistic cost per enquiry looks like in your trade, roughly what it would cost to run, and whether it is worth starting at all.

We reply the same working day, usually within the hour.
