Local SEO

local SEO for small businesses that want to be found nearby.

When someone nearby searches for what you sell, you want them to find you, like what they see and get in touch. That is local SEO, without the acronym.

We do it as part of our Improve, Grow and Accelerate plans, on websites we build and look after, alongside turning more of those visitors into customers. We're a web design team that keeps improving your site after launch, not a stand-alone SEO agency.

what the plans do for local search.

At least three-quarters of each month on a plan goes on growth work: how your website is found and how many of those visitors become customers. For being found locally, that means five things.

Your Google Business Profile

Help keeping it accurate and complete, with the right category, services, hours, photos and updates, so it matches your website. It stays your profile, in your name.

A page for the area you serve

A clear page about where you work and what you do there, written for people nearby, rather than a copy-and-paste page for every town.

A routine for reviews

A simple, regular way to ask every customer for a review and to reply to the ones you get. Every customer, not just the happy ones: Google's rules don't allow picking and choosing.

Technical health

Fast pages, a structure search engines can read, page titles that say what each page is, and regular checks that nothing has quietly broken.

Content people search for

New pages and articles that answer the questions your customers type into Google, in their words rather than ours.

Being found is half the job. The rest of the growth work goes on the pages that turn those visitors into enquiries, bookings and sales.

the three plans.

Every plan includes Care and a monthly report, and runs on a 12-month agreement. Grow and Accelerate also include a 30-minute review call each month, and a Grow or Accelerate plan takes 20% off any website build.

Improve
£350 a month plus VAT
5 hours of our time every month
Grow
£600 a month plus VAT
10 hours of our time every month
Accelerate
£1,100 a month plus VAT
20 hours of our time every month

The plans are for websites we build and look after. Builds start from £1,500, every website we host then needs Care from £60 a month or a growth plan from £350 a month, both on 12-month agreements, and anything else is £62.50 an hour, all plus VAT.

what we will and won't promise.

We never promise rankings, traffic or revenue. We commit to the work and report honestly on the results.

Google decides who ranks where, and it doesn't take requests. What we can promise is the work: done properly, every month, with a report that says what we did, the time used, the results and what comes next.

We do not run search growth for two direct competitors in the same town at the same time, so the work we do for you is not also being done for the business down the road.

questions before you start.

Do you sell SEO on its own?

No. Search work comes as part of the Improve, Grow and Accelerate plans, on websites we build and look after, alongside improving how many visitors become customers.

Can you get us to the top of Google?

We never promise rankings, traffic or revenue. We commit to the work and report honestly on the results. Google decides rankings. We do the work that gives your website a fair chance, and show you what changed each month.

Can you do SEO on the website we have now?

We're happy to take a look at the website you have now and tell you honestly what we think. We don't take over looking after websites someone else built. In most cases we recommend a rebuild, so the site can be improved quickly and kept up to date properly. Once the new site is live, search work carries on through a plan.

Do you manage our Google Business Profile?

We help you keep it accurate, complete and up to date as part of a plan. It stays your profile, in your name.

How soon will we see results?

Search work builds up over months, not days. Each monthly report shows what we did, the time used and the results, so you can see how it's going. We don't put a date on results, because we can't control them.

What does it cost?

Improve is £350 a month plus VAT, Grow is £600 a month plus VAT and Accelerate is £1,100 a month plus VAT, each on a 12-month agreement with Care included.

Do you run paid ads or social media?

No. Plans do not include social media management, paid advertising management, print or business plans.

We're in Surrey but not near Staines. Can you still help?

Yes. We look for clients close to home first, but the plans work the same wherever you are, and the first chat is by phone or video call.

want more people nearby to find you?

A free first chat. Tell us what you sell and where your customers are. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you so.
