What goes into the cost of a small business website: planning, writing, design, speed, hosting and updates, plus the hidden costs and questions to ask first.

We work from your real Google data: which searches you already show up for, where you're losing the click, and which pages are missing. Then we fix it and report back every month.
Start with the data you already have
Google Search Console shows exactly which searches your business appears for, how high, and how often people click. Most small businesses have never looked. It's usually the fastest win in local SEO: you'll find searches where you're already on page one but nobody clicks, and searches you show up for with no page that actually answers them.
What we do every month
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, hours, holiday hours, service areas, photos and a website link that actually works. Your profile is often seen more than your website.
Reviews
A simple way to ask happy customers for reviews, and prompt, professional replies to every one, including the bad ones.
Technical fixes
Pages Google can't reach, slow mobile pages, broken redirects, missing titles, duplicate content. We find them in Search Console and fix them.
Pages for real searches
A dedicated page for each service and area people search for, written to answer the question, not stuffed with keywords.
Consistent listings
Your name, address and phone the same everywhere Google cross-checks: your site, your profile and the major directories.
A plain-English report
What changed, what's working, what we're doing next. Calls and form leads, not vanity numbers.
See where you're losing the click
A free assessment shows which searches you already show up for and which pages are missing.
What we won't do
We don't guarantee rankings (nobody honestly can), buy links, stuff keywords into your business name, or write hundreds of near-identical town pages. Those shortcuts can get a business suspended from Google Maps. Local SEO that lasts is a well-built site, an accurate profile, real reviews and useful pages, done consistently.
Works best with a solid site
If your current website is slow, hard to change or missing pages for your main services, SEO work will be fighting it. Often the best first step is a rebuild, with SEO running from launch day.
Questions we get
How long does local SEO take?
Fixes to your Google Business Profile and technical problems can show up within weeks. New pages usually take a few months to settle into their positions.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Anyone who guarantees rankings is either selling something risky or something meaningless. We commit to the work and report what it's doing.
Do I need a new website for SEO?
Not always. We'll audit what you have first. If the site is holding you back, we'll tell you, and why.
