SEO in plain English
SEO that brings in calls, not just traffic
For a local business, SEO isn't about thousands of visitors. It's about appearing in front of the right people nearby at the exact moment they need you. Google has two places that matter:
The map pack
The three businesses shown on the map when someone searches 'plumber near me'. Driven largely by your Google Business Profile — its completeness, activity and reviews.
The normal results
The list of websites below the map. Driven by your website — its content, structure, speed and the links pointing to it.
Why it matters
Those positions get the bulk of the clicks and calls. Visitors from them are free — you don't pay per click like you do with ads.
What's included
Everything that moves the needle for local businesses
We work on both your website and your Google Business Profile, every month.
Local SEO
Show up when people nearby search for what you do — by service and by town.
Keyword research
We find the searches your customers actually use and prioritise the ones most likely to bring in work.
On-page SEO
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, copy and internal links tuned to what each page should rank for.
Technical SEO
Fast, secure, mobile-friendly pages Google can crawl and index — plus sitemaps and structured data.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, posts and a review strategy to help you appear in the map pack.
Service & location pages
Properly written pages for each service and the towns you cover — not thin copy-and-paste pages.

We improve your existing pages so they answer customers' questions and match what they search.

We study who's ranking in your area and why, then build a plan to compete.

Relevant links from local directories and quality sites, with your business details kept consistent.
Monthly reporting

Client reviews
Don't just take our word for it
Genuine Google reviews from business owners we've worked with.
“The mock-up was fantastic and needed hardly any changes.”
“I've worked in marketing, graphic design, and web design for around eight years, so I'm probably more critical than most when it comes to websites. The mock-up was fantastic and needed hardly any changes — a huge compliment coming from me. He understood my vision almost immediately and delivered a professional, modern website in just a couple of days. Easy to work with, listens to what you want, and delivers exactly what he promises.”
“Since the site's gone live we've been getting loads of leads”
“Harry did an amazing job building our website and helping with our SEO. The whole process was really smooth – sales was easy, communication was great throughout, and everything was delivered quickly. Since the site's gone live we've been getting loads of leads and it's brought in a ton of work for us. Performance-wise it's spot on, and honestly for what we're paying it's fantastic value. Can't recommend Harry enough!”
“Harry was absolutely amazing from start to finish.”
“Harry was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He created a fantastic website for my new business and really took the time to understand what I wanted. He was friendly, professional and always quick to respond to any questions or changes. He regularly checked in to make sure I was happy with everything, and the final design looks fantastic. I honestly couldn't recommend Harry enough. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and delivers a great service, definitely get in touch with him.”
FAQ
SEO questions, answered
How long does SEO take to work?+
Local SEO usually starts to show movement within a few months, but it depends on your competition, your website and your starting point. We'll be honest about realistic timescales after our audit.
Can you guarantee I'll rank first on Google?+
No. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and anyone guaranteeing a position should be treated with caution. We do the proven work that improves your visibility and report on it transparently every month.
Do I need a new website to do SEO?+
Not necessarily. If your current site is solid we can optimise it. If it's slow or hard to improve, we'll explain why a rebuild might give you a better return.
What will I actually see each month?+
A clear report showing keyword rankings, Google Search Console clicks and impressions, enquiries where tracked, and what we're doing next — no jargon.
