Our SEO Services

Keyword Research

Keyword research is a pivotal part of the SEO process. If your focus is wrong, you won't attract the right traffic to your website.

By working collaboratively to understand your industry, your competitors, and your customers, we will plan and execute keyword research to ensure you are targeting the right users, with the right intent.

SEO Audit

Auditing your existing site and providing recommendations on how you can improve your position in Search Engines.

During this process we cover all on-page, off-page and technical factors, and finish by providing a well-presented report, covering the findings and actionable suggestions to improve your organic performance.

On Page (Content)

Having identified your target keywords, we will create well-written, unique, and engaging content for your website.

We will ensure that your keywords are incorporated throughout your landing page, optimally placed to give your website the best chance of appearing at the top of search engines for your target search terms and phrases.

Technical

Key aspects of Technical SEO include the optimisation of your website for site speed, mobile, and link structure.

We help to ensure your website is crawlable, indexable, and navigable, ensuring search engines can effectively scan your website, and users have the best possible experience with your site, allowing you to rank more favourably.

Off Page & Link Building

Having backlinks from reputable websites in your field is important for your long term organic visibility. 

This helps to increase your authority in the eyes of Search Engines, as well as giving signals about your website content, helping you to rank for the keywords and search terms you want to be visible for.

Local SEO

If you are a local business, with focus on local traffic, whether that’s physical footfall, or digital traffic, local SEO is for you!

Looking to be more visible on local search results? We will identify methods you can use to ensure that relevant customers find you when looking for the goods or services you sell, helping to raise awareness of your brand locally.

Our Process

Step 1

Website review & introduction

Request a website review above and we will be in touch with any further questions and to learn more about your business goals.

 

We will then provide the website review, focusing on technical aspects, visibility in search engines, and design fundamentals, with a view to providing actionable feedback and a way forward.

Step 2
1

Follow up meeting

If you are happy with the website review, and wish for us to help, you can find our packages for the appropriate service which will give you a good idea of the cost of your campaign.

Step 3

Frequently Asked Questions

SEO (search engine optimisation) is the process of ensuring your website is optimised through on-page, off-page and technical SEO to give it the best chance of appearing high up in Search Engines such as Google.

As a rough guide, work on 3-6 months. It’s impossible to say for sure with SEO and varies case to case.

 

For some industries, where there is little competition, it’s possible to make improvements quickly, whereas other can take a little longer.

It also depends on your current ranking. If you have rankings on page 2 or 3 that are missing a few easy fixes, it might be that these pages are easier to rank on page 1 more quickly. Again, dependent on the industry.

SEO is a time consuming process, which is complex in parts. As an SEO Agency, we have the time, resource and expertise to research, plan and execute an SEO strategy.

 

Improving organic ranking isn’t something that happens overnight, and it requires hard work and persistence. Even when you get to a point where you feel like you are succeeding, you can’t take your foot off the gas, as it can drop away as quickly as it improves.

Whether you sell b2b, b2c or both, if your ideal customers are searching online for your products or services, SEO is relevant for you!

Our SEO campaigns carry a minimum term of 3 months, as it can take up to that long, as a minimum, to see a performance improvement. After this point there is a rolling 30-day notice period.

We report on efforts and progress on a monthly basis. Here we also talk about next steps and how our developments align with your longer term goals.

We work with all sectors. We have seen lots of success with home improvement/trades, hospitality, events and menswear/fashion to name but a few.

If you want a quick fix, pay per click through mediums such as Google Ads, or Facebook, is the way to go.

That’s not to say that there are not merits to running both a PPC and an SEO campaign, and we would recommend a balanced approach using both paid and SEO as an approach to ensure you are maximising your online potential and findings your customers online.

We can work across the UK due to the nature of our work. 

The majority of our clients are in Yorkshire, covering areas such as Ilkley, Guiseley, Leeds & Harrogate.

Keywords are crucial in the success of an SEO campaign and should be chosen using your experience, with the assistance of an SEO Agency, very carefully at the beginning of the project.

Without the right keyword targeting, attracting the right customer with the right terms is extremely difficult.

You might end up ranking for a keyword, but ultimately the keyword should fulfil your objectives and lead to enquiries/sales for the business.

I had quite a few companies approach me to do this work but I wanted someone LOCAL who knows the area and actually answers the phone! Tom came up with a personalised approach to my business and I am already seeing results; if SEO isn't the part of your business you enjoy, leave it to Tom. I actually enjoy it more now because he is fun to work with and I am learning from him. If you're not sure about something - just ask- he is so happy to help and very responsive.

Thanks very much for the feedback Steph, I'm glad that you're finding SEO enjoyable - something you never thought you'd say 🙂 Cheers, Tom
