Basic SEO
The groundwork that helps search engines understand and show your site.
Get the foundations right
We cover the essentials that every small business site should have. SEO takes time and no one can promise rankings, but getting the basics right gives you a fair chance.
Search engines need to understand what your business does and where. We make sure every page has a clear title, description and headings, images are labelled, and your site is set up in Google Search Console.
We'll also guide you through setting up or improving your Google Business Profile, which is often the most important step for local businesses, and leave you with a plain-English list of what to do next.
Good for: Businesses that are hard to find when people search for them.

Questions about basic seo
Can't see your question? Ask us directly.
How long does SEO take to work?
Changes can take weeks or months to show in search results, and rankings depend on many things outside anyone's control. Basic SEO gives your site a fair chance rather than a guaranteed position.
Is this a one-off or ongoing?
Basic SEO is a one-off set-up. If you'd like ongoing help afterwards, we can talk about including regular checks in a website support plan.
Do you set up my Google Business Profile for me?
We'll guide you through it and check it's complete, but Google requires the business owner to verify the profile, so a few steps need to be done by you.
