SEO
Local SEO for small businesses that want to be found
Do people near you search for what you do, but not find your website? Local SEO helps search engines understand your business and show it to them. Clear prices, and the work listed in writing.
What local SEO for small businesses involves
Local SEO for small businesses means making it easy for search engines to understand who you are, what you do and where you work. When they understand that, they can show your website to people who search for it.
We cannot promise rankings, because only search engines decide where sites appear. We promise the work: we tell you what we will do, we do it, and we show you what we did. We work with businesses across the UK.
The groundwork in every website we build
These come with every website package, at no extra cost.
- Page titles and descriptions for every page
- Structured data, which helps search engines understand your pages
- A sitemap, so search engines can find every page
- Redirects from your old site, so old links still work
- Google Search Console set-up
- Bing Webmaster Tools set-up
What SEO costs
Three ways to get more help with search. The monthly plans list the work we do each month. Every price is also on our pricing page, and our guide to how much a website costs in the UK shows what is included in each website package.

Google Business Profile: only if you meet customers in person
A Google Business Profile is the listing that can appear in Google Maps and local results. Google only allows one if you meet your customers in person, at your premises or where they are.
If you meet customers in person, we set up or tidy your profile as part of local SEO set-up, and you complete Google’s verification. If you work only online or by phone, we will tell you plainly that a profile is not for you. We then focus on your website and Search Console instead.
Search Console and Bing
Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools are tools from Google and Microsoft. They show which searches bring people to your site, and they warn you about pages that search engines cannot read. We set both up and connect your sitemap, so you can see how your site is doing in search.
How long it takes
We agree the timescale for local SEO set-up in your quote. Local SEO and SEO Growth have a 3-month minimum, because search engines take time to notice changes. After that they run month to month, and you can stop with 30 days’ notice.

We do the work
We set up the tools, fix what we find and, on a monthly plan, carry on each month.
We show you what we did
Each month you get a plain-English report of the work we did and the searches we track, along with what Search Console and Bing show about your site.
What we need from you
- Access to your website, or to the person who manages it
- Your business name, the services you offer and the places you serve, exactly as you want them shown
- Whether you meet customers in person, and where
- Access to any Google or Microsoft accounts you already use for your business
Example: a search-first page structure
We built the website for National Bright Sun, an IT and cybersecurity consultancy in Muscat, Oman. It went live on 5 October 2026.
The site has a separate page for each service and for each type of client, written around what people search for. A search for one service can lead straight to the page about it. We use the same search-first structure when we plan pages for our clients.
Questions about SEO
Can you get me to the top of Google?
No one can honestly promise that, because only Google decides where sites appear. We promise the work, and we show you what we did.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
Only if you meet your customers in person, at your premises or where they are. If you do not, Google does not allow a profile, and we focus on your website and Search Console instead.
Is SEO included when you build my website?
Yes, the groundwork is. Every package includes page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, redirects and Search Console and Bing set-up. Business and Bespoke websites also include local SEO set-up.
Can you do SEO for a website you did not build?
Yes. We look at your site first and tell you in your quote what we would do. Our free website check is a good first step: choose ‘Free website check’ in the form.
Is there a minimum term?
Local SEO and SEO Growth have a 3-month minimum, then run month to month with 30 days’ notice. Local SEO set-up is a one-off price.
