ABOUT · EST. 2016

Built by an engineer.

PhD Networks was built in 2016 by Danny Doherty, who came from network engineering and got tired of watching tradespeople pay for marketing they could not understand. Today we look after trades and home-services businesses across Leeds and Yorkshire, measured, not guessed.

Our story.

    The company starts

    PhD Networks & Systems Ltd is registered at Companies House, company 10223515. The first work is IT support and websites for local Leeds businesses.

  2. The ask

    “Can you get my phone to ring?”

    Clients keep asking the same question, so the work shifts to what actually wins them jobs: Google Ads, local SEO, paid social and proper conversion tracking.

  3. The method

    Networks and systems, pointed at leads

    The habit from network engineering carries straight over: measure everything, keep what works, cut what does not. The same rigour that keeps a network up, aimed at your pipeline.

  4. Today

    14 live client sites

    We host and run 14 live sites for trades and home-services firms across Yorkshire, rated 5.0 from 6 Google reviews.

What we believe.

We speak human

If we cannot explain it in a sentence you would understand at the pub, we should not be doing it. No 60-page decks, a phone call and a number.

We show you the data

Leads, cost per lead, what is working and where the money went. The real numbers, not vanity metrics.

No lock-in

A three-month minimum so the work can compound, then rolling monthly. Long enough to matter, short enough that we have to keep earning it.

An engineer’s mindset

A network-engineering background, the same systems-thinking that keeps a network up, pointed at winning you work.

AI team, human judgement

Specialist AI agents watch every account around the clock and turn raw numbers into next moves; our people make the calls.

Enterprise quality, local price

Enterprise-grade systems and standards, sized and priced for a trades business, not a national brand.
