We're a Hull studio, and we handle the Google Business Profile, local SEO, social content and design jobs that keep slipping to next Friday. Monthly support, clear scope, no corporate theatre. We work with trades and local businesses across Hull and East Riding.
The free audit is a four minute video showing exactly what's costing you customers on Google. No call, no pitch.
Who we help
Two kinds of business. One job: more customers.
Trades & home services
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers: if your work comes from people searching "near me", we'll make sure they find you first. And unlike Checkatrade, we won't rent you leads and sell the same job to three of your competitors. We build your own Google profile, your own reviews, your own reputation. It's yours forever, whether you keep paying us or not.
If your business lives on bookings, footfall and regulars, we'll build the local following that keeps them coming back. Content designed to actually look like your brand, a Google profile that outshines everyone else on the street, and, when you're ready, community building that turns your customers into your marketing team.
We optimise your Google Business Profile, actually ask for the reviews you need, and sort the local SEO details that stop nearby customers choosing someone else by accident. This is the engine room. Everything else builds on it.
Content
Keep content moving
We design posts for Google, Instagram and Facebook, then schedule and handle them every month. It sounds like your business, looks better than your competitors, and never depends on you remembering to post.
Design
Look consistent
We tidy up logos and put together social graphics, flyers, menus and print artwork, so your business looks joined up everywhere customers meet it. Good design is what makes everything else look twice the price.
How it works
Simple from day one.
1
We talk.
A practical chat about your business, your customers and what's getting in the way. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
2
We plan.
You get the scope, price and first jobs in plain English. No grand strategy deck. We all have lives.
3
We deliver.
We work through the queue, send updates and keep the useful bits moving. Need a change? Just ask.
Selected work
Live work, not moodboards.
Three examples, plus a few more businesses we've supported.
Grimsby
GRIMS Functional Fitness
A 24 hour, family run functional fitness centre. We designed and built their website and advised on how to present the gym online, from HYROX training to memberships. Built to turn "gym near me" searches into paying members.
A close protection and risk management firm. We built a site that carries the discretion and authority their clients expect, and advised on positioning it properly. Designed to win trust before the first phone call.
A security training provider offering SIA pathways. We designed and built their website and advised on marketing it to people looking to start a career in security. Written for anyone searching how to get started in the industry.
Want yours next? Our first two founding clients get their first plan at £149/mo.
Plans
Start small. Climb when it's working.
Everything runs monthly. No contracts, no lock in. We earn it every month, or you leave.
Local Buzz
£199/mo
Get your Google profile working properly. The essentials, done right, every month.
Who it's for: you're just starting to take your Google Business Profile seriously, or you've been doing it yourself and it keeps slipping down the list.
What we do
Full Google Business Profile optimisation
8 to 12 designed Google posts a month
Review system: ask scripts plus a printed QR review card
Monthly report with Google's own numbers: calls, views, direction requests
Example: a plumber whose profile hasn't been touched in two years starts showing up in the local map pack again, with reviews rolling in instead of trickling in.
How long you'll need it: this is ongoing maintenance, not a one-off fix. Most trades keep it running for as long as they want the phone to keep ringing.
Google plus Instagram and Facebook, all handled for you.
Who it's for: businesses that live on regulars and referrals, salons, cafes, gyms, where people check your Instagram before they book.
What we do
Everything in Local Buzz
Instagram + Facebook: 12 to 16 designed posts a month, scheduled
Captions and hashtags written for your local audience
Report now covers reach and follower growth too
Example: a hair salon that used to post whenever someone remembered gets a steady stream of content, and bookings start coming from Instagram instead of just word of mouth.
How long you'll need it: give it three to six months to build a real following and a posting habit. Most clients then keep it running as their main marketing, month to month.
Growth mode: engagement, stories and boosted posts.
Who it's for: you're already getting customers and want more of them, faster, with someone replying to comments and DMs while you get on with the job.
What we do
Everything in Social Buzz
Comment and DM replies, stories, local collabs
Small boosted post campaigns (ad spend passed through at cost)
Priority replies, usually same day
Example: a gym launching a new class fills it within two weeks using boosted posts and same-day DM replies, instead of relying on a poster in the window.
How long you'll need it: built for an active push. Most clients run it for a season, three to six months around a launch or a quiet period they want to fill, then dial back if they like.
Who it's for: multi-location businesses, franchises, or anyone whose scope is bigger or stranger than our standard plans.
What we do
Mixed scope or multi site support
Scale up or down each month
Clear quote before work starts
One named contact throughout
Example: a group with three sites across Hull, each needing its own Google profile and its own local content, run under one plan and one point of contact.
How long you'll need it: we scope and quote everything up front, so you know exactly what you're signing up for before anything starts.
Founding client offer: our first two retainer clients get Local Buzz for £149/mo, in exchange for an honest Google review and a case study after 60 days. First come, first served.
Questions
Useful questions
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Everything runs monthly and you can pause or cancel whenever you like. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into anything.
What if I don't like something?
Tell us and we'll change it. Revisions are part of the plan, and nothing goes live without your say so.
Is ad spend included?
No. Ad budgets are billed separately at cost with no markup, so you always know exactly where your money's going.
How is this different from Checkatrade or MyBuilder?
Those platforms rent you leads — and sell the same lead to several of your competitors at once. We build assets you own: your Google profile, your reviews, your content. If you stop paying Checkatrade, the leads stop that day. If you stop paying us, everything we built keeps working for you.
How quickly will I see results?
Honestly: your profile looks dramatically better in week one, review growth shows within the first month, and search visibility typically moves over two to three months. We never promise "#1 on Google" — anyone who does is guessing. We promise the inputs, and we show you Google's own numbers every month so you can see them moving.
