Rank and rent works for almost any local business
Imagine a lemonade stand that already has a queue
Say you want to sell lemonade. The best spot is the busiest corner in town, but every good spot is taken and it takes ages for people to notice a new stand. So we do the hard part. We build the stand, put it on the busiest corner and wait until people start lining up.
Then we say: “It's yours to run. Pay us the same amount every month, and every customer in that queue buys from you. Nobody else.”
Swap the stand for a website, the busy corner for Google, and the customers for phone calls, and that is rank and rent. If you are a plumber, a physio or an accountant, the people who need you are already searching. We make sure the site they find belongs to you.
Check Your Industry And Area1. We build the stand
A fast website made for your kind of business in your area.
2. We get the queue forming
We rank it on Google until real customers start calling.
3. You rent it
One set monthly fee. Every customer is yours alone.
The simple test: do people Google you?
If most of these are true, rank and rent can probably work for you.
Customers are local
They want someone in their town, not on the other side of the country.
They search before they buy
They type something like “plumber near me” into Google or their phone.
A new customer is worth it
One extra job or client pays for the monthly fee many times over.
You can take the calls
When the phone rings, you or your team can answer and say yes.
Advice people search for when they need it
When someone has a money, legal or property problem, they usually type it into Google and ring the first firm that looks trustworthy. A single new client is often worth hundreds or thousands of pounds, which makes a steady flow of exclusive enquiries very valuable.

Price depends on your trade and your town
Think of two lemonade stands. One is on a huge, busy high street. The other is on a quiet lane. The busy one gets more customers, and more people want it, so it costs more to rent.
It is the same for us. A solicitor in a big city has a lot of searches and each client is worth a lot, so it costs more than a dog groomer in a small town. That is why we quote each area on a call, as one set monthly amount with no per-lead charges.
Why not buy leads instead?
Lead sites often sell the same customer to five businesses, like five kids running at one customer. With rank and rent, only you get the call.
Why not build your own?
You can, but a new site can take many months before anyone notices it. Renting one that already ranks skips the wait.
Live in house clearance, building out from there
House clearance is the one industry where we have sites built, ranking and bringing in calls, and you can see it in our case study. For every other trade on this page, we check the demand in your area first, then build and rank the site, then rent it to you.
Don't see your trade on the list?
If your customers search for you on Google, there is a good chance we can build for you. Tell us what you do and where, and we'll tell you honestly.
