SEO for Small Businesses
FIND OUT WHY CUSTOMERS CAN'T FIND YOU.
Plain-English help for owners who want to know why they aren't found online and what is worth paying for.
We diagnose before we recommend. Rankings and AI mentions are never guaranteed.
WHY IT HAPPENS
Most small business owners have been sold SEO at some point, paid for a few months, and still can't say what changed. The usual problem isn't effort. It's that nobody worked out what was actually stopping the business from being found before starting the work.
For a small business, a few things usually matter most: being found when someone searches for the service in your area, a Google Business Profile if you serve customers in person, reviews, and a website that tells people clearly what you do and how to contact you.
Who this is for: Owner-run businesses, shops and local service businesses: salons, gyms, restaurants, trades, consultants, agencies and similar.
WHERE WE START
- Whether people searching for your service can find you at all
- Your Google Business Profile and reviews, if you serve customers in person
- Whether your website says clearly what you do, where, and how to get in touch
- What you've already paid for, and whether it's working
Which of these apply to you is what the diagnosis finds out.
COMMON QUESTIONS
I paid for SEO before and nothing happened. Why would this be different?
We start by finding out what's actually holding you back, and tell you what's worth doing and what isn't, before you spend anything more.
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
It depends on what the problem turns out to be. We agree scope and cost in writing after the diagnosis, so you're not paying for work you don't need.
Can I do some of it myself?
Yes. Often the most useful thing we give a small business is a short, clear list of what to do, and what to stop doing.
