That's the kind of gap I find as standard. Ask me and I'll pull the real numbers for your town specifically before we start.

That's before any geo-grid rank tracking, Google Business Profile work or content. The stuff that actually moves the needle.

How it works

From first message to ranking properly.

  1. 01I look at what you rank for now and what your customers actually search
  2. 02I build or restructure the site around those searches and areas
  3. 03I set up and tidy your Google Business Profile
  4. 04I track what's working and adjust the plan
Common questions

Still deciding?

Can you guarantee a page-one ranking?

No. Nobody honest can guarantee a specific Google ranking. What I can do is build the site and content properly so it has a real chance of ranking for the searches that matter to your business.

How long until I see results?

Local SEO is gradual. Some things (like a properly set up Google Business Profile) can help within weeks; on-page and content work usually takes a few months to show up clearly.

Do you only do local SEO for businesses in Essex?

Essex is where I'm based and where most of my work is: Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend and the towns between. The same approach works anywhere, so I take on businesses outside Essex too.

Is local SEO worth it if I don't have a website yet?

A website is the foundation local SEO builds on, so most people start there. It isn't sold as a separate product here: it comes with the monthly plan. Google Business Profile setup and one post a month are included, and managed Google Business Profile is an optional add-on.

Covering Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend and everywhere between.
