Fast pages, clean code, page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, and Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools set up correctly.
SEO services for small businesses.
Search engine optimisation that a small business can afford and understand: a technically sound website, local SEO that gets you into the map results, and content built around what your customers actually search for. Plain-English reporting, and no ranking guarantees.
/ What we do
Small business SEO, without the jargon.
Most small businesses do not need an enterprise SEO retainer. They need the basics done properly, then steady work on the searches that bring in customers. That is what we do.
Local SEO
Your Google Business Profile completed and kept active, your details consistent across directories, and pages for the areas you serve.
Content that answers buyers
Service pages and guides written around the questions your customers type into Google, not keyword-stuffed filler.
Reviews
A simple way to ask happy customers for Google reviews, and replies that show prospects you care.
Links and listings
Directory listings, partner links and citations that build trust, without spammy link schemes that can get you penalised.
Plain-English reporting
What changed, what it did to your traffic and enquiries, and what we will do next.
/ Local SEO
Local SEO for small businesses.
When someone searches for a service “near me”, Google shows a map with three businesses before anything else. Getting into that map is local SEO, and for most small service businesses it is where the enquiries come from.
- Google Business Profile completed: categories, services, hours, photos and posts
- A steady flow of genuine Google reviews, with replies
- The same name, address and phone number everywhere online
- Pages for each service and each area you cover
- LocalBusiness structured data so Google understands your trade and location

/ Common questions
SEO questions from small businesses.
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
Technical SEO is included in every website we build, from $2,500. Ongoing SEO work, such as new content, local listings and monthly improvements, is quoted to what your business actually needs, and our care plan includes monthly SEO checks for $200 a month.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes are picked up within weeks, but rankings for competitive searches usually take three to six months or more, especially for a new website. Low-competition and local searches often move sooner. We will tell you what is realistic for your market before you spend anything.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google’s results. What we can promise is the work: a technically sound site, a properly set up Google Business Profile, and content aimed at the searches that bring in customers.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that helps you appear when people nearby search for what you do, including the map results. It is mostly your Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent business details across the web, and pages for the areas you serve.
Do you offer SEO for websites you did not build?
Yes, where the site is on a sound footing. Send us the link and we will review it first. If the site itself is what is holding you back, we will say so and quote a rebuild instead.
Do I get reports?
Yes, short and in plain English: what changed, what it did to your visibility and enquiries, and what comes next. No 40-page exports nobody reads.
Do you work with small businesses in the US and UK?
Yes. We work remotely with small businesses in the US, the UK and Europe, with calls in your time zone and prices in dollars, pounds or euros.
