background

The challenge

When JDN Property Services first partnered with Yell, they were a small team trying to break through in a crowded market. Like many damp proofing businesses, they were spending long days on site and late nights on admin – with little time or expertise to market themselves effectively.

They needed a trusted partner to take marketing off their hands, deliver a reliable flow of quality leads, and give them time back to grow the business.
