Who it’s for
SEO for businesses that want more enquiries
Our SEO is built for UK small and growing businesses that rely on their website to bring in customers.
Local service businesses
Trades, clinics, salons, studios and other businesses that serve customers in a town, city or region and want more enquiries from local searches.
Independent shops and online sellers
Businesses selling products online that need category and product pages people can find, understand and trust.
Professional services
Consultants, agencies, accountants, solicitors and other firms whose customers research carefully before getting in touch.
New and rebuilt websites
Businesses launching or redesigning a site that want search built in from the start, rather than fixed afterwards.
The problems we solve
What’s holding your website back
Most search problems are fixable. These are the ones we see most often on small business websites.
Your website is hard to find
Customers search for your services and find competitors instead. Often the cause is a mix of technical issues, unclear pages and missing local information.
Pages Google can’t crawl or index
Broken links, blocked pages, missing sitemaps or duplicate content can stop good pages from appearing in search at all.
Slow or awkward on mobile
Most searches happen on phones. Slow pages and layouts that jump around while they load make people leave before they read your offer.
Service pages that don’t say enough
Thin or vague pages make it hard for people and search engines to understand what you do, where you do it and why you’re the right choice.
Inconsistent local details
A Google Business Profile that is incomplete, or a business name, address and phone number that differ across the web, can weaken local visibility.
No clear picture of what’s working
Without Search Console set up and regular reporting, it’s hard to know which searches bring visitors, which pages need work and whether changes are helping.

How it works
Start with direction. Keep improving
A simple, repeatable process, so you always know what we’re working on and why.
Start with a clear picture
We begin with a £99 site audit or a review of your website, goals, customers, services and the areas you cover.
Agree your plan
We agree the searches, pages and locations to prioritise, with a clear order of work and what each month will focus on.
Fix the foundations
Technical and indexing issues come first, so the rest of the work isn’t held back.
Improve key pages and content
We strengthen your service and location pages, then build out the content plan around customer questions.
Report and refine
Each month you get a plain-English report and we agree next month’s focus based on what the data shows.
What to expect
Honest timelines, no empty promises
SEO builds over time. Here is how the work usually unfolds, without promising rankings or dates.
Setup and quick wins
Search Console and tracking in place, the audit findings prioritised, and the first technical fixes and page improvements made.
Foundations in place
Technical issues resolved, key service and location pages improved, and the first new content published. Search engines need time to recrawl and reassess changes, so early signs are often more pages indexed and more searches showing your site.
Steady, compounding progress
As content builds and pages improve, the aim is more of the right visitors and more enquiries. The pace depends on your starting point, your competition and the work agreed, and we report on it honestly every month.
SEO performance and search positions cannot be guaranteed. Google itself says no one can guarantee a top ranking. We commit to agreed work, clear reporting and informed recommendations.

Questions
Good to know
How long does SEO take?
Think in months, not weeks. Search engines need time to process changes, and the pace depends on your starting point, your competition and the work required. We explain early progress and longer-term priorities without promising a fixed date for results.
Can you guarantee page one?
No. Search engines decide which pages to show, and results vary. We commit to agreed work, clear reporting and informed recommendations. We do not sell guaranteed rankings, traffic or leads.
What’s included each month?
Work is agreed in your plan and usually combines technical SEO, on-page improvements, local SEO where relevant, new or improved content, and a plain-English monthly report with next steps.
Can you work on my existing website?
Yes. We review the platform, access and any technical restrictions first. Standalone SEO is £750 per month. If substantial redevelopment is needed, we explain why and quote for it separately.
Is local SEO relevant to me?
If you serve customers in particular areas, local pages and accurate business information can help. Google Business Profile work is included where it is appropriate for your business. See our local SEO services.
Do you write the content?
Yes. We plan and write buyer-focused articles and service pages in your voice, and share them with you to check before they go live.
Do you work with clients in the United States?
Yes. SEO is open to clients everywhere, including the United States, and so are site audits and creative work. Website design and build projects are only available to clients outside the United States, because our build contracts are built around UK law and we can’t yet meet the separate US legal requirements.
What do you need from me?
Access to your website and Google Search Console (or permission to set it up), a short conversation about your services, customers and areas, and quick feedback on new content.
Does SEO still matter with AI search?
Yes. Google says the same SEO best practices apply to its AI features, so clear, helpful, well-structured pages remain the foundation.
Why is my website not on Google?
Usually for one of a handful of reasons: the site is new and not yet indexed, something is blocking search engines, pages are hard to crawl, or the pages do not match what customers search for. Our guide to why a website is not showing on Google explains how to check each one, and a £99 site audit will find them for you.
Does website speed affect SEO?
Speed is one of many things Google considers, and slow pages also lose visitors before they read your offer. We check Core Web Vitals as part of technical SEO. See why websites are slow and how to fix them.
Not sure where to start?
A £99 site audit reviews your search foundations alongside design, mobile experience and conversion, and gives you a prioritised plan.
