What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps you show up when people nearby search for what you offer, for example “electrician near me”. It covers your Google Business Profile, Google Maps rankings, reviews, local pages on your website and consistent business details across the web. For most local businesses it is the fastest way to more calls.
What do SEO services include?
Our SEO covers technical fixes (speed, indexing, structure), on-page optimisation of your key pages, helpful content that answers what customers search for, quality links, your Google Business Profile and monthly reporting. We start with an audit, agree priorities with you, then work through them month by month.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and quick wins often show movement within weeks. Sustained ranking and traffic growth usually builds over three to six months, depending on your market, competition and starting point.
Do Google Ads work for small businesses?
Yes, when they are set up well. Google Ads (PPC) brings visitors from day one, and you only pay when someone clicks. We target the searches that lead to enquiries, track every call and form, and cut spend on what does not convert. Most businesses get the best return using Ads for speed while SEO builds in the background.
How do I show up in AI search like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
AI tools recommend businesses they can clearly understand and trust. That means a fast website with clear answers, structured data, consistent details across the web, strong reviews and helpful content. We build this into every plan. Read our guide to AI search for the full picture.
How much does an SEO audit cost?
Our website audit is free. You can run the instant audit in about a minute, or ask us for a free review where a specialist looks at your site, your Google rankings and your competitors and tells you what to fix first.
How do I choose an SEO agency?
Look for clear pricing and contract terms, plain-English reporting and a team that explains what they will do and why. Be wary of guaranteed #1 rankings. Ask to see the plan before you sign, which is exactly what our free audit gives you.
Is there a minimum contract?
Only for websites and webshops. They have a 12-month first term because we design and build the site at the start, then run month to month with 31 days’ notice. SEO, Google Ads, social ads, social posts and extras have no minimum term: they run month to month with 31 days’ notice, and you can move up or down a plan at any time. While you are on a website or webshop plan, the site we build belongs to SEORAPID; if you want to own it outright, you can buy it out at the price set out in your quote.
Can you work with my existing website?
Yes. We work with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and custom builds. If your site is holding you back, we will tell you and quote for a rebuild separately.
How will I know it is working?
You get a monthly report in plain English covering rankings, traffic, leads, ad spend and what we are doing next, plus access to live dashboards.
