FAQs
How do I get my business to show up on Google?
Claim and optimise your Google Business Profile. Add photos, hours, and reviews—it’s the fastest way to appear locally.
Do online reviews really impact local rankings?
Yes—Google favours businesses with frequent, high-rated, and keyword-rich reviews. They also boost trust with potential customers.
How long does SEO take to see an increase in visibility?
Most see results in 3–6 months, but local SEO can show wins in weeks with the right setup.
Should I pay for ads or invest in SEO?
Ads bring instant traffic; SEO builds long-term value. Ideally, use both—but SEO gives better ROI over time.
What keywords should I target?
Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest. Focus on local intent, e.g., “plumber in Leeds” or “café near me.” Our experts will help with this
How do I rank in the Google Map Pack?
You need a verified profile, consistent NAP info, recent reviews, and regular posts or updates—Google loves activity.
Why isn't my website getting traffic?
Poor search results could be because of slow load speed, poor SEO, no local optimisation, weak content, or even bad website design. An audit will tell you exactly why.
Do I need a blog for SEO?
Not always—but helpful blog content can target long-tail keywords and answer common customer questions. Great for trust and traffic.
Can social media help my SEO?
Indirectly, yes. Social posts drive traffic, brand mentions, and engagement—all of which Google sees as trust signals.
For best results, a full digital marketing campaign is always recommended. This ensures search visibility, user experience, and brand awareness are always factored into each campaign.
How do I know if SEO is working?
Track rankings, traffic, enquiries, and calls from Google. Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console for proof.
While SEO audits and a clean content strategy are great, what really matters is online visibility and if it translates to results. We make sure you can follow our process from day one.
