SEO services built around how your customers search
SEO is our main service. Every engagement starts with a free audit, so the first work we do is the work most likely to bring enquiries.
Keyword research
We find the searches your customers actually use, how hard each one is to win, and which page should rank for it.
On-page SEO
Titles, headings, copy and internal links reworked so each page clearly answers the search it is meant to rank for.
Technical SEO
Crawling, indexing, speed, structure and schema, fixed by an engineer who reads the code rather than a report.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile, Maps and local pages for businesses that serve customers in a particular area.
Link building
Relevant links earned from real websites in your industry and area, so Google has reasons to trust your pages.
SEO audit
A free, plain-English review of what is holding your website back in search, and what we would fix first.

How much does SEO cost?
It depends on your goals, your website and how competitive your market is. A focused local campaign needs a different level of investment from a national one. After an initial conversation and review, we’ll give you a clear proposal that sets out the scope, what’s included and the cost before you commit to anything.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and on-page improvements can show early effects within weeks. Growth in visibility and enquiries usually takes several months. We’ll set realistic expectations at the start and report on progress throughout.
Is the initial SEO audit really free?
Yes. The initial audit is free, and requesting it doesn’t commit you to any paid work. We’ll explain what we found in plain English and outline what we’d prioritise.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google’s results. We commit to doing the agreed work properly and reporting honestly on what it achieves.
Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. We’re based in Manchester and work with businesses across the UK. If you’re local, we can also meet in person. You can read more about our SEO services in Manchester.
Will a website redesign affect my search rankings?
A poorly planned redesign can lose hard-earned visibility. We map existing pages, set up redirects, preserve valuable content and check everything after launch.
Get found. Stand out. Grow online.
Tell us your website and we’ll tell you plainly what search could do for your business and what we’d fix first.
