👋 ABOUT PHIL

The Friendly Google Business Profile Guy
Helping UK Tradespeople Get Found on Google

And Book More Jobs

I also work with other local service and small businesses that rely on local visibility and phone calls — but trades are my core focus.

Phil Carrick at Google HQ Dublin

Hi, I'm Phil 👋

Phil Carrick is a local SEO and marketing consultant based in Northern Ireland who helps tradespeople and small businesses across the UK get more calls from Google through clear advice, practical fixes, and one-to-one consultations.

I'm often described as an online business problem solver — because most of my work is about fixing the things that stop good businesses getting chosen online.

I'm not an agency.
I'm not here with jargon, fancy dashboards, or pushy sales tactics.
I'm just a honest guy who genuinely enjoys helping local tradespeople get more calls, more reviews, and more visibility on Google — without the faff.

Truth be told, I'm turning 60 soon, my knees are knackered, and a "normal" job isn't exactly in the cards anymore.
So I built a business I can run calmly with a coffee in hand and my wee dog Lillie at my side — and one that actually helps hardworking tradespeople who deserve to get noticed.

Because let's be honest…
Most tradespeople are brilliant at what they do — but their Google profile?
It's sitting there like an empty takeaway box on your vans passenger seat.

That's where I come in.

Who I Work With

I work with tradespeople and small businesses across the UK who rely on local visibility and phone calls to win work. Most come to me for clarity — not jargon — and want straight answers about what actually matters.

WHY I WORK WITH TRADES (AND NOT EVERYONE ELSE)

I've worked with local businesses for years, but tradespeople… well, tradespeople are different:

✓ Straight-talking

✓ Honest

✓ Hardworking

✓ No nonsense

✓ Hate waffle

✓ Appreciate clear help

✓ Prefer WhatsApp to email

✓ Don't have time to mess about with "SEO advice"

That's MY kind of people.

You don't want corporate nonsense.
You don't want jargon.
You don't want fluff.

You want:

More calls
A profile that looks the part
More reviews
More visibility
Clear guidance
Someone friendly you can message anytime

That's exactly what I do.

WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH ME

Working with me is dead simple:

1

You message me on WhatsApp

2

I check your Google profile

3

I show you (in plain English) what's holding it back

4

If you want help, I fix it and keep it growing

5

You get more calls — that's it

No contracts. No pressure. No hidden fees. No "marketing funnels".

Just honest help that actually works.

🧠

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

Here's what you get with me that you'll NEVER get from an agency:

✔️ Friendly, human support

You talk directly to me — not someone who doesn't know what a combi boiler is.

✔️ WhatsApp first

Trades don't want to send emails. I don't want to send emails. So we don't.

✔️ Simple updates, no jargon

I tell you what matters — not page 16 of a PDF.

✔️ Built around your life

Missed calls cost YOU money. That's why I include full call-handling in my Pro package — it's one of my favourite features.

✔️ A genuine interest in helping

I like seeing local tradespeople win. It feels good to help the good guys.

❤️

A business they're proud of
A simple, friendly expert they can rely on

That's the goal.

And we'll get there one trade at a time.
