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.
“Yell took the time to understand our challenges and worked within our budget to deliver exactly what we needed. Having one trusted point of contact and regular reviews gave us the clarity and confidence to move the business forward. Jay is now part of the JDN team – I run everything past him.”

Their account manager James Smith recommended Yell’s Accelerate solution to drive high-intent enquiries and build JDN’s brand for long-term growth:
🔍 Targeted ads on Google & Bing to generate ready-to-buy leads
🌐 SEO-optimised website boost visibility and organic rankings
📍 Listings on 50+ directories to dominate local search
📱 Free app to easily manage reviews, social, and track performance
🤝 One point of contact for ongoing support and strategic guidance (hi, James!)
results & improvements
In just 7 months, JDN has gone from juggling everything and relying on word of mouth to running a predictable, high-value pipeline of work with Yell.
They’ve scaled across the central belt, strengthened their brand, added new services like insurance reinstatement and fire & flood restoration, and freed up time to focus on growth – not firefighting.
