In short
What is seo?
SEO (search engine optimisation) is improving your website and online presence so you appear higher on Google for the searches your customers make. For local businesses it means three things: your Google Business Profile for the map pack, useful service and area pages for normal results, and clear, consistent information so AI tools can recommend you.

FAQs
SEO questions
Typical ranges in pounds. You get a fixed written quote after a free call.
How much does SEO cost for a small business in the UK?
Local SEO for one area is £250 – £450 a month. SEO across several towns or for an online store is £450 – £900 a month. A one-off audit is £150 – £350 one-off.
How long does SEO take to work?
Google Business Profile changes can help within weeks. New pages usually take 3–6 months to bring steady enquiries, depending on competition.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps you appear when people nearby search for your service, especially in the Google Maps “map pack”. It focuses on your Google Business Profile, reviews, local pages and consistent business details.
What is the difference between local SEO and normal SEO?
Local SEO targets searches with a place in them, or near-me searches, and relies heavily on your Google profile and reviews. National SEO competes across the whole country and relies more on content and links.
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
Usually, yes, if customers search for what you do. Unlike ads, the enquiries keep coming without paying for every click.
Do you guarantee first place on Google?
No honest SEO can. I commit to clear monthly work, honest reporting and focusing on enquiries, not vanity rankings.
Will AI search replace SEO?
No. AI answers mostly draw on pages that already rank well and on consistent business information, so good SEO is also how you appear in AI tools.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every happy customer with a short link straight after the job. I set up the link, message and QR code for you.
Do I need a new website for SEO?
Not always. Many sites can be fixed. If your site is slow, hard to edit or very outdated, a rebuild can be cheaper in the long run.
Is there a contract?
Three months to start, because SEO needs time, then month to month with 30 days’ notice.
