  • Pages written for real searches

Good SEO is three jobs done together

Your Google Business Profile has to be strong enough to get you into the map. Your site has to be quick and easy for Google to read. Your pages have to answer the searches your customers make. We do all three, and every month we show you what's working in plain English.

What changes when your pages start to rank

When SEO works, four things change, and you'll see each of them in your enquiries.

  • Found for the job
  • Found in your town
  • Enquiries you can count
  • Quoted by AI answers

What we work from

The tools behind every page

  1. 01

    Keyword research in Semrush before any page is planned. Real search volumes decide which pages get written.

  2. 02

    Google Search Console to see what Google shows: the searches, the pages and the clicks. It's your account, so you can check it too.

  3. 03

    A page plan before any writing starts. It sets out the service, the town and the search each page is for, so no two pages compete.

  4. 04

    Writing rules every page is checked against: written in full, no town names swapped into a template, and no filler.

  5. 05

    A monthly report showing which pages moved, which searches they moved for and what we did to get them there.

Where your business can show up on Google now

A search for a local service no longer returns a simple list. You might see ads, a map with three businesses, an AI answer and the normal results, all on one screen.

Each needs different work. The map depends on your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how close you are. The normal results depend on your pages and your site. The AI answer quotes pages that explain things clearly.

They don't replace each other. A strong site can still miss the map with a thin profile. A business in the map can still be left out of the AI answer. So we work on all three at once.

What our SEO work includes

01

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

We get your profile complete, accurate and active, so you're in the running for the map results near you.

02

Technical SEO

We fix what slows your site down or stops Google reading it, from page speed to broken links and site structure.

03

Pages written for real searches

One page for each service and each area you cover, written around what people type in when they need you.

04

Pages AI answers can quote

Clear answers to the questions your customers ask, so ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can pick your pages up.

05

Reports you can read

A monthly report in plain English, taken from your own Search Console, with what's planned next.

How it works

From research to results in three steps

  1. 1

    Research

    Keywords, competitors and a page plan, agreed with you first.

  2. 2

    Write

    One page per search, written in full, never a template.

  3. 3

    Report

    Every month, from your Search Console, with what's next.

One report, set out the same way every month

It comes from your own Search Console, so the figures are Google's, and you can open the source whenever you like.

Every month
Clicks from Google—
How often you appeared—
Pages that moved—
Searches they moved for—
Pages published—
Enquiries from Google—
  • Which pages moved, and for which searches
  • What we published and why
  • What's planned for next month, so you can have your say

Rankings are shown as the route to enquiries. If a page climbs and the phone stays quiet, the report tells you.

Local pages

SEO for the towns you cover

  • We build local SEO one town at a time.
  • Each town you cover gets its own page, written in full.
  • No page is a copy with the town name swapped.
  • We check how many people search in each town first.
  • We're based in Manchester and work across Greater Manchester.
  • Choose a town to see what we do there.
  • Not listed? Ask, and we'll check the searches for you.

The people who do the work

We're an SEO agency that does the work in-house, with our own Manchester team. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor you'll never speak to.

  • SEO and copywriting specialist plans your pages, researches the searches and writes the copy.
  • Web developer handles the technical side, from page speed to site structure.
  • Account manager sends your monthly report and is the person you speak to.

A lot of our work comes from referrals

SEO takes a while to show results, so a client only recommends us once they've seen it work. That makes every referral count.
