Get Found For What You Sell, Not Just Where You Are
Your map listing gets you found by people searching near you. Your website gets you found by people searching for the job. Those are two different customers and most local businesses only ever work on one of them. We build the second.
Plans from 299 dollars a month, published on the site. You do not have to request a quote to find out.
Local SEO Or Website SEO. Which One Do You Need
This is the question we get asked more than any other, so here is the plain answer before you read anything else.
Local SEO
- Gets you into Google Maps and the map pack
- Built on your Google Business Profile
- Wins near me and city searches
- Usually produces phone calls
- Best if you serve a defined area and people search by location
Website SEO
- Gets your own pages into the regular results below the map
- Built on your website
- Wins service, problem and question searches
- Usually produces form fills and better qualified enquiries
- Best if you sell specific services people research before buying
You are on this page.
Most service businesses need both, and they are not either or. The map pack sits at the top, the organic results sit underneath it, and appearing in both on the same search is how you take up most of the screen. If your budget only stretches to one right now, book a call and we will tell you which one is costing you more.
Why Your Website Ranks For Your Own Name And Nothing Else
It was built to look good, not to be found
Most local business sites are a brochure. Beautiful homepage, a services list, a contact form. Nothing on it targets a single thing a customer types into Google.
Six services, one page
One page cannot rank for six different searches. Each service you sell needs a page of its own or it competes weakly for all of them.
Nothing technical has ever been checked
Pages Google cannot crawl, duplicate URLs, missing tags, a slow mobile load. Invisible to you, obvious to a search engine.
No reason for anyone to link to it
A site with nothing useful on it earns nothing. Organic rankings need something worth pointing at.
What Website SEO Includes
Technical audit and fixes
Crawling, indexing, speed, duplicate pages, broken links, mobile problems. We fix what is stopping Google reading your site properly before we write a word.
Keyword and intent research
The words your buyers use, not the words the industry uses. We separate the searches that end in a booking from the ones that end in a blog reader.
Service pages
One page per thing you sell, written to answer the question the searcher actually has, with a clear way to book at the top and the bottom.
Location pages
Real pages for the areas that bring you revenue, with content specific to each. Not a template with the town name swapped out.
On-page optimization
Titles, headings, internal links, images and schema, applied page by page. See on-page SEO →
Citations and local links
Consistent listings and links from the businesses and organizations around you. See off-page SEO →
Four Steps, And You See The List First
Audit
We go through your site, your rankings and the three competitors beating you, and write down exactly what is wrong. You get that list on the call, before you have paid anything.
Prioritize
Biggest impact first. Usually that means the pages closest to a sale, not the blog.
Build and fix
Technical fixes, new pages, rewritten pages, internal links and schema. Done in reviewable steps so your live site never breaks.
Report
Monthly. Rankings, traffic, and the number that actually matters, which is how many people contacted you.
What It Costs, Without A Discovery Call First
Search for SEO pricing and you get a page of guides explaining why agencies will not tell you. We publish ours.
Plans from 299 dollars a month
Published on the site with what is in each one. You can read it before you speak to anybody.
Month to month
No long term contract. We would rather keep the work by earning it than by locking you into twelve months.
SEO Questions, Answered Straight
What is the difference between local SEO and organic SEO
Local SEO gets you into the map pack at the top of the page and runs on your Google Business Profile. Organic or website SEO gets your own pages into the results underneath it and runs on your website. Different mechanics, different searches, and on a lot of searches you can appear in both.
How much does SEO cost
Ours starts at 299 dollars a month and the plans are published on the site with what is included. Across the wider market you will see anything from a few hundred to several thousand a month. If an agency will not tell you a starting figure before a discovery call, that is usually a pricing strategy rather than a complicated answer.
How long does SEO take to work
Usually three to six months before the trend is clear, sometimes faster on low competition service terms. Technical fixes can show up within weeks. Anyone promising first page in thirty days is selling something else.
Do I need both local SEO and website SEO
Most service businesses benefit from both, because the map pack and the organic results are two separate slots on the same page. If your budget only covers one, we will look at where your customers actually search and tell you which to start with.
Do you rewrite my whole website
No. We start with the pages closest to a sale and work outward. Most of the time we optimize what is already there rather than rebuild it.
Will working on my site break it
No. We work on a staging copy or make changes in reviewable steps, and you see what changed before it goes live.
Do you work on WordPress
Yes. WordPress is what we build and maintain in house. We can work on other platforms as well, and we will tell you on the call if yours is going to limit what is possible.
Do you only work with businesses in the United States
Most of our clients are US based local and service businesses, and we work internationally as well.
