Our SEO process in Manchester
01 Keyword Research
We dig into Semrush data to find the searches your local customers really run. The focus is terms with proven demand and a sensible chance of ranking, so the work earns its place by showing up where enquiries come from.
02 Website Build
A brand new website comes as standard, no templates and no shortcuts. We build it from scratch on Wix Studio around your business and your customers, fast loading and mobile friendly, with clear ways for visitors to call, message or book.
03 GBP Optimisation
Your listing in Google Maps and the local 3 pack comes from your Business Profile, and it is where most trades enquiries start. We set it up the right way, optimise every detail and keep it fresh over time.
04 Local SEO
Each page is pointed at a single local search, from service pages to location pages to monthly blogs. Together they cover the range of terms customers use, so your business is visible across local searches.
05 Link Building
Every month brings new links from credible sites pointing at yours. Google treats them as endorsements, so quality links mean better rankings. We do not buy cheap links, we earn them through proper outreach.
06 Reporting
Monthly reports lay out the work completed, your latest rankings and where your enquiries come from, all in plain English. We use real Google Search Console screenshots, and you have direct WhatsApp access to both founders.
