SEO & Local Search
Get found by the people already looking
Local search, done properly, not sold as a subscription nobody can audit.
We build the technical foundations, write the content, claim and complete your Google Business Profile, and report back in plain English every month. No jargon invoices, no traffic graphs with the axis removed.
Fifteen minutes, no pitch. You will come off the call knowing what is realistic and roughly what it costs.
The honest bit
Most SEO retainers are a black box
You pay a monthly fee, you get a PDF with some graphs going up and to the right, and you have no way of knowing whether that is because of the work being done or because it is a Tuesday. Most agencies count on you never asking what actually happened this month.
Meanwhile the basics get skipped. Pages that were never properly indexed. A Google Business Profile that was claimed and then abandoned. Title tags that still read the theme's default. You can spend a year paying for SEO and never once have anyone check whether Google can actually read your site.
SEO is not magic and it is not instant. It is a list of specific, checkable things done properly, on a page that is fast and structured to begin with. We tell you what we did, we show you the number that moved, and if nothing moved we tell you that too.
What you get
What actually moves the needle
Not a feature list. These are the things we check and fix on every account, in order of what actually matters.
Technical foundations first
Indexing, site speed, structured data, broken links and redirects. If Google cannot crawl and understand your site properly, nothing else on this page matters yet.
Content with something in it
Pages written to answer the actual question someone is typing, with a real answer in them, not five hundred words of padding around one keyword.
Google Business Profile, properly run
Claimed, verified, categorised correctly, kept current, and posted to. For a local business this is often worth more than everything else on this page combined.
Reporting you can actually read
Rankings for the terms that matter to you, calls and form fills, and what we did that month to move them. No vanity metrics, no dashboards you need training to open.
Local search
The map pack is where most of your customers are looking
For a trade, a nursery, a clinic or any business with a physical patch, the three-pack that shows up above the normal search results is often worth more than page one. It runs on different signals: your Google Business Profile, reviews, local citations and how consistent your name, address and phone number are everywhere they appear.
We audit all of it, fix what is broken, and build a review process that does not rely on you remembering to ask. Consistency beats cleverness here.
No surprises
What it costs
Monthly retainers, no long lock-in, and a one-off health check if you just want to know where you stand first.
Questions
Things people ask
How long before I see results?
Technical fixes can show up within weeks. Rankings and traffic are a job that runs for months, usually three to six before you see a clear trend. Anyone promising faster than that is either doing something that will get you penalised or lying.
Will you guarantee page one?
No, and nobody honest can. Google's algorithm is not something any agency controls or can promise a position in. We will tell you what is realistic for your market and your competition.
Do I need a new website for SEO to work?
Not necessarily. We can work with your existing site, though if it is genuinely broken (slow, uneditable, not indexing) we will say so rather than pouring content into a leaking bucket.
Is this a contract?
No lock-in. Thirty days' notice, and you keep everything we have built, the content, the profile, all of it.
What do I actually get every month?
A report showing what changed, what we did, and what is next. Not a dashboard export, an actual explanation.
Do you do SEO for ecommerce sites?
Yes, the mechanics are the same with product and category pages added to the mix. Ask on the call and we will scope it properly.
