Most local SEO problems aren't mysterious: slow pages, duplicate content, broken redirects, a neglected Google Business Profile. We find them, fix them, and then build on a sound foundation. Because we build websites too, nothing gets lost between "the SEO people" and "the web people" — they're the same people.
Crawlability, canonical and redirect hygiene, sitemaps, structured data and Core Web Vitals — the plumbing that quietly decides whether the rest of your SEO can work.
Profile optimisation, consistent business listings and review strategy — the levers that decide who shows in the map pack for "near me" searches.
Titles, headings and page copy matched to what customers actually type — written for humans first, with the keywords carried naturally.
What people in your area search, how often, and who currently wins those searches — so effort goes where it can actually move the needle.
Product and category page optimisation for stores — structure, schema and content that get products found. Pairs with our e-commerce builds.
What we did, what changed, and what it means — rankings, traffic and enquiries in a report you can read in five minutes, not a 40-page data dump.
How it works
We crawl the site, review Search Console and check your local presence — then tell you plainly what's holding you back and what it's worth fixing.
Technical issues first: speed, redirects, canonicals, indexing. These fixes often do more on their own than months of content work on a broken foundation.
Then the growth work — page content, local signals, Google Business Profile, reviews — prioritised by what your customers search, not by what's fashionable.
Clear monthly reporting against the baseline we set at the start. You'll always know what you're paying for and whether it's working.
The honest bit
We won't guarantee you the top spot on Google — nobody honest can, because nobody outside Google controls the results. We won't hide behind jargon, and we won't sign you into a long contract that outlives the work.
What we will do: fix what's measurably broken, build what's measurably missing, and show you the numbers either way. SEO is compounding work — it usually takes months to show its full value, and we'd rather tell you that on day one than surprise you on day ninety.
Good questions
Technical fixes can show results within weeks — especially if something was actively broken — but competitive local terms usually take three to six months of consistent work to move meaningfully. Anyone promising page one in a fortnight is either targeting terms nobody searches or planning to disappoint you. We set a baseline at the start so progress is measured, not claimed.
No — and neither can anyone else, because only Google decides its rankings. What we can guarantee is the work: a thorough audit, fixes done properly, content built around real search demand, and honest reporting on what changed. Treat ranking guarantees from any agency as the red flag they are.
For a business serving Swadlincote, Burton or Derby, the big levers are your Google Business Profile (categories, photos, posts and reviews), consistent name–address–phone details across directories, location-relevant page content on your website, and local links from real organisations. Done together, these decide who appears in the map pack when someone nearby searches for what you do.
Both exist, honestly. A one-off audit-and-fix is right when a site has specific problems — a drop after a rebuild, indexing issues, broken redirects. Ongoing SEO is right when you're competing for valuable local terms and need content, reviews and authority built steadily over time. We'll tell you which you actually need; sometimes the one-off is enough.
Goes well with
Tell us your website and what you'd like to rank for. We'll take an honest look and come back within one working day — what's broken, what's missing, and whether SEO is even the right spend for you yet.
