  • Google Business Profile, kept correct and consistent with the site
  • Monthly reporting that names its sources and says what moved
  • Brighton-based, working across the UK

What sits under SEO

Eight pieces of work. Pick the one that fits.

Start with an audit if you do not know what is wrong. Start with Local SEO or your Google Business Profile if you are missing from the map. Start with Technical SEO if pages exist but are not indexed. Two of the pages are written for specific sectors. For sites we build and host, local SEO and reporting are part of the monthly fee.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How long it takes, what you get each month, and what SEO cannot fix.

How long before SEO does anything?
Months, not weeks. Cruz reached position 1 locally within four months. Honeys went from zero page-one rankings to 78 over ten months. Both started from very little, and your range depends on your competitors and your starting point. A site with existing pages and some history moves faster than one launched last month.
Do I need to rank nationally?
Almost certainly not. A local service business fills its diary from a few miles around it. National rankings bring traffic that can never become a customer. The target is being the obvious answer nearby, which is narrower and much more winnable.
Is my Google Business Profile part of this?
Yes, and for most local businesses it is the single biggest lever. It is also the one most often left half-finished. Categories, services, hours and photos all need to say the same thing the website says, or you are competing with yourself.
What do I get each month?
A report showing what moved, what did not, and what happens next, written in plain English rather than a dashboard export. If a number is going the wrong way, the report says so plainly rather than burying it.
Will SEO fix a website that is not working?
Sometimes not. If the site is slow, awkward on a phone, or has no page for the service you want found for, SEO alone cannot fix that. We will say so before you spend anything, because sending more traffic to a site that does not convert is an expensive way to prove a point.
