SEO in Huddersfield

Getting found by people already looking for you.

Most SEO is sold on mystery. Ours isn’t. You get told what’s wrong, what we’re changing and what actually moved — in plain English, with the numbers next to it. And if you’re already doing fine on the searches that matter, we’ll tell you that and save you the money.

Detail

The technical bit, done once and done properly

Google can’t rank what it can’t read. Page speed and Core Web Vitals, heading structure, schema markup, sitemaps, canonicals, redirects, internal linking — none of it is visible to a visitor and all of it decides who goes above whom. It’s built into every site we make, and we’ll retrofit it to one we didn’t.

Local search, which is where your work actually comes from

Nobody in Bristol is hiring us to fit a shopfront in Holmfirth. The things that move the map pack are unglamorous: your Google Business Profile categories and services filled in properly, the same name, address and phone number everywhere from Yell to Apple Maps, reviews coming in and getting replied to, and pages that mention the towns you genuinely work in — with jobs you genuinely did there.

Content that answers what someone actually typed

A page called “Our SEO Services” ranks for nothing. “Do I need planning permission for a shop sign in Kirklees” is a real question with real intent behind it, and nobody round here has bothered to answer it. That’s the sort of page that earns its keep, picks up links on its own, and brings people in already halfway to buying.

Questions

The things everyone asks
before they ring.

How long before I see anything?

Technical fixes can show up within a few weeks — speed, indexing and crawl problems move quickly once they’re sorted. Local and competitive terms are more like three to six months, because you’re waiting on Google to re-evaluate you and on content to age in. Anyone promising you page one inside a fortnight is either lucky or lying.

I’m already on Google. Do I need this?

Being on Google and being found are different things. Plenty of businesses rank beautifully for their own name and nowhere at all for the thing they actually sell. The first job is finding out which one you are — and if it turns out you’re already top for what matters, we’ll say so rather than invent work.

What does it cost?

It depends whether you want a one-off audit and a round of fixes, or ongoing work month to month. Either way you get the scope written down and a figure agreed before anything starts — no open-ended retainer that quietly renews itself.

Can you do it on a site you didn’t build?

Yes, and we often do. We’ll tell you honestly if the site is fighting you — some platforms make decent technical SEO genuinely hard — but most sites can be improved a long way without rebuilding anything.

Will you tell me if it’s not worth doing?

Yes. If you’re a trade business getting everything through word of mouth and referrals, SEO might be the wrong place to put your money, and we’d rather say so than take it.
