Can you guarantee my website will rank first?

No, and anyone who promises that isn’t being straight with you. What I can guarantee is a site structured properly for search, a Google Business Profile that’s set up correctly, and content that stacks the odds in your favour. That’s the honest version.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Usually months, not weeks. It depends on your competition and how established your site already is. Local pack improvements can happen faster than organic ranking improvements, which is one reason Google Business Profile work matters so much for service businesses.

What's the difference between SEO and local SEO?

SEO is about ranking generally. Local SEO is specifically about showing up when people search with a location in mind, whether that’s typed (“plumber Durham”) or implied (“plumber near me”). For most service and trade businesses, local SEO is where the real enquiries come from.

Do I need a new website for SEO to work?

Not always. Sometimes the fix is restructuring and adding content to what you’ve already got. Sometimes the underlying site is holding you back and a rebuild is the honest recommendation. I’ll tell you which one applies rather than assuming you need a full rebuild by default.

What's Google Business Profile got to do with my website?

For service-area businesses, your Google Business Profile is often what gets found first, before anyone reaches your website at all. Getting it set up and categorised properly is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost things you can do.

Do you report on rankings?

Yes, but I’d rather talk about what it means for your enquiries than hand you a table of keyword positions. Numbers without context don’t help you run your business.

SEO & Local SEO, Ranking For The Searches That Turn Into Enquiries

If someone searches “plumber near me” or “specialist contractor Durham” and your competitor shows up first, you’ve lost that enquiry before your phone even rings. This isn’t about gaming Google, it’s about being clear enough, in the right places, that search engines and humans both understand what you do, who it’s for, and where you do it.

Proof it works

A holiday rental business badly hit by the pandemic relaunched with a full rebuild focused on clarity and local search. Their ranking moved from position 48 to position 7, and bookings stayed strong for the following two years. Hydro North East, a newly launched bathroom specialist, ranked third locally for competitive plumbing searches within months of going live, with a Google Map Pack placement ahead of bigger, more established competitors.

Who this is for

Service businesses and specialists who want enquiries from people actively searching for what they do
Trades and service-area businesses who need to show up in the local map pack, not just organic results
Businesses with more than one town or service area worth targeting properly

Who this isn’t for

Anyone expecting a guaranteed position or a fixed timeline. Nobody can honestly promise that, and I won’t pretend otherwise.
Anyone who wants SEO instead of a proper website, rather than as part of one. Rankings without a site built to convert just means more visitors who leave without getting in touch.
Anyone chasing traffic volume for its own sake. I care about enquiries, not visitor counts.

If that’s you, no hard feelings, but we’re probably not the right fit. I’d rather tell you now than waste your time later.

What you get

A site structured to rank, not just to look good

Search engines need clarity as much as customers do. That means individual service pages instead of one page trying to cover everything, question-based headings that match how people actually search, and content that answers the question in the first sentence.

Google Business Profile, properly set up

For service-area and bricks-and-mortar businesses, the map pack often matters more than your organic ranking. I make sure your profile, categories, and website details are consistent and complete, so you’re in that map pack, not just somewhere on page one.

Local pages that mean something

If you serve more than one town, you need more than your homepage mentioning them in passing. Proper location pages, built around what you actually offer in that area, not the same paragraph with the town name swapped out.

Honest reporting, not vanity metrics

You’ll know what’s ranking, what’s changed, and what it means for enquiries, not a spreadsheet of keyword positions that don’t translate into anything you can act on.
