Small business SEO

SEO for small businesses

A practical plan to get found on Google, Google Maps and AI search, with clear monthly prices and a report you can read in five minutes.

Where to start

Where small businesses lose customers on Google

These are the problems we see most often in small-business audits, and the first things we fix.

One page for everything

A single “Services” page cannot rank for every service. Each one needs its own page.

An unfinished Google profile

Missing categories, hours or photos keep you out of the Google Maps box.

Slow on phones

Most searches happen on a phone. A slow page loses the visitor before it loads.

Few recent reviews

Between two similar businesses, people pick the one with more recent, answered reviews.

No tracking

Without call and form tracking you cannot tell which work brings customers.

The wrong keywords

Broad terms are hard to win. Specific searches with your service and town bring buyers.

The plan

A 90-day SEO plan for a small business

The same order we follow with every new client. You will see quick wins in the first month and steady growth after that.

  1. Month 1: fix the foundations

    Free audit, technical fixes, Google Business Profile, and call and form tracking.

  2. Month 2: pages that can rank

    A page for every service and the areas you cover, written for the searches that bring buyers.

  3. Month 3: trust and links

    Reviews, directory listings and the first links from relevant local and UK websites.

  4. Every month after

    New content, more links and a plain-English report: what we did, what changed, what is next.

FAQ

Questions small businesses ask

Something else on your mind? Email [email protected] and a specialist will reply, not a bot.

Is SEO worth it for a small business?

Usually, if your customers search Google for what you sell or for a business like yours nearby. SEO keeps bringing enquiries without paying for each click. If you need calls this week, Google Ads is faster, and many small businesses use both for a few months.

How much does SEO cost for a small business?

With us, Local SEO starts at £249 a month + VAT with a one-off £99 setup, and National SEO at £449. There is no minimum term. Your quote is tailored to your area and competition.

Can I do SEO myself?

You can do the basics: complete your Google Business Profile, ask for reviews and give each service its own page. Our Google Business Profile quick wins guide is a good start. Most owners hand it over when they run out of time.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes and a better Google Business Profile can show within weeks. Steady growth in rankings and enquiries usually takes three to six months, depending on your market, your competitors and where your website starts.

Can you guarantee I will be first on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings. What we promise is clear work every month: the fixes, pages, listings and reviews that make you a stronger choice, and a plain-English report with your rankings, calls and enquiries.
