Local SEO
Your Google Business Profile, the same business details everywhere you are listed, pages for the services and towns you actually cover, and a fair, simple way to ask customers for reviews.
SEO & Digital Growth
SEO and Google Ads that turn searches into enquiries
Local SEO, technical SEO and Google Ads management for businesses that need to be found by the right customers, with prices published below. Based in Gloucester, working with businesses across Gloucestershire and the UK.
What we do
Get found, then get the enquiry
Technical SEO
Pages search engines can read and index, fast loading on phones, structured data, sitemaps, and redirects that keep what already ranks when a site is rebuilt.
Search strategy
Which searches are worth winning, which page should win each one, and a content plan that stops your own pages competing with each other.
Google Ads management
Campaigns set up around the searches that bring enquiries, managed and reported monthly. Your ad budget is paid to Google directly, so you always see the spend.
Conversion optimisation
Clear next steps, shorter enquiry forms and pages that answer the questions people ask, so more of the visitors you earn get in touch.
How it works
An audit first, then a monthly plan you can see
We start by looking at what you already have: how search engines index your site, which searches it already appears for, and what your Google Business Profile and directory listings say about you. That tells us where the quickest gains are and what is holding the site back.
Then you get a monthly plan and a monthly report: what we did, what changed and what comes next. Our own website is run the same way, with prerendered pages, structured data and one consistent business record across every listing.
If your website itself is the problem, we will say so. Our website packages are built with search in mind from the first page.
What we won't do
- Promise rankings. Nobody controls them, and our agreements say so.
- Buy links or publish pages written only for search engines.
- Write reviews, or ask only happy customers for them.
- Hide a minimum term. If there is one, it is in your proposal before you sign.

Questions
SEO and Google Ads questions
How long does SEO take to work?
Usually months rather than weeks. Technical fixes can be picked up within days of a page being recrawled; competitive local searches take sustained work. We report every month on what was done and what has moved.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Google Ads puts you at the top of the results while you pay for each click. SEO earns the unpaid listings below the ads, which takes longer but does not stop when the budget does. Many businesses use Ads while SEO builds.
Do I need a new website before you start?
Not necessarily. We start with an audit of how your current site is indexed and what it already ranks for. If the site itself is holding you back, we will say so and explain why.
Do you work with businesses outside Gloucestershire?
Yes. We are based in Gloucester and work with businesses across the UK. Local SEO is about the towns your customers search from, wherever that is.
Can you guarantee a first-page position?
No. Anyone who guarantees a ranking is guessing. We tell you what we will do each month and show you the results honestly.
