Somebody within ten miles of you is searching for what you sell right now. SEO is the work of making sure they find you and not the firm down the road.
We stick to the parts you can check yourself: your Google listing, where you come up locally, and how many enquiries actually arrive.
We only sell the SEO work you can check for yourself.
A lot of SEO gets sold on things a client has no way of verifying. We would rather not work that way. If you can't see the difference, we shouldn't be charging you for it.
So we work on your Google listing, the searches that bring local customers, and the number of enquiries you get. You can check all three without taking our word for anything.
How local search really works
For a local business, the map is the prize.
Search for a plumber near you and look at what sits above the ordinary results. A map, with three businesses in it. That's where the calls come from.
Your Google listing comes first
A properly filled-in Google Business Profile with real reviews does more for a local business than almost anything on the website. It's free, and most firms leave it half-finished.
Then the site has to back it up
Google checks that your website says who you are, where you are and what you do, and that it opens quickly when somebody taps through.
Then you keep at it
SEO builds up slowly. Three to six months before you see real movement is normal, and anybody promising faster is selling you something.
What the monthly work covers
From £495 a month, with no tie-in longer than we'd want ourselves.
Google Business Profile
Set up, verified and kept current, plus help getting reviews out of your customers. Reviews are the bit that moves the map.
Local keywords
The searches people round here actually type, rather than the vanity ones. We'll tell you which we're going after and why.
On-page work
Titles, headings, descriptions and internal links sorted across the site so Google can read it properly.
Speed counts too
Google measures how fast your pages open and uses it when ranking. This is where our hosting does double duty.
Content
Pages and posts aimed at what your customers ask before they buy. Written to be useful rather than stuffed with keywords.
A report in English
Where you rank, how many people found you, how many got in touch. One page, and no dashboard you'll never open.
How we start
We'd rather find out you don't need us than take a retainer for work that won't help.
Free review first
We look at where you show up now, what your listing looks like, and whether the site is holding you back. You get that whether or not you go ahead.
Agree the target
We'll tell you which searches we're going after and what a realistic result looks like. If your market is too competitive for the budget, we'll say so.
Work and report monthly
£495 a month, itemised, with anything optional on its own line so you always know what you're paying for.

SEO works better when the site underneath it is sound.
Websites
A quick, well-built site makes every pound of SEO work harder.
Including the ones we'd want answered if we were buying it.
Three to six months for real movement on local searches. Your Google listing can improve faster than that. Anybody promising page one in a fortnight isn't being straight with you.
No, and nobody honestly can. Google doesn't sell rankings, so anyone guaranteeing them is guessing.
No long tie-in. SEO needs a few months to be worth anything, so we ask you to give it a fair run, but you're not locked in.
Say so and we'll quote for that on its own. It's often the highest-value thing a local business can do, and it doesn't need a monthly retainer.
Not necessarily. If you need customers now, start with ads. If you're playing a longer game, start with SEO. We'll tell you which fits.
We don't sell that. Google discounts spammy links on its own for almost every site, and the spam scores you see quoted are third-party numbers that don't affect your ranking. We'd rather spend your money where you can see the result.
Find out where you stand today.
The free review shows you where you come up for local searches, what your Google listing looks like next to your competitors, and whether the website is helping or getting in the way.
We use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful. It sets a
cookie. Nothing is collected until you say yes, and we do not sell anything
to anyone. What we collect.
