The Challenge

What Wasn't Working

Five different local businesses — a builder in Poynton, an estate agent in Wilmslow, a dentist in Alderley Edge, a cleaner in Congleton, and a mechanic in Cheshire — all struggled with the same problem: they were invisible in local Google searches. None ranked on page one for their primary service keywords, and organic enquiries were minimal or nonexistent.

The Solution

What We Did

For each business, we built or rebuilt their website with local SEO as the priority. This included Google Business Profile optimisation, location-specific content, local schema markup, citation building, review generation, and technical speed improvements.

The Results

What Changed

  • All 5 businesses achieved page one rankings for primary keywords within 3-6 months
  • Organic enquiries increased by an average of 140% across all businesses
  • Google Business Profile views increased by 200-400% per business
  • Cost per acquisition dropped by 50-70% as organic replaced paid leads
  • 3 businesses were able to reduce or eliminate paid advertising spend
I used to think SEO was just for big companies. Seeing my small building firm on page one next to national brands changed my mind completely.

FAQ

More About This Project

Initial improvements appeared in 4-8 weeks. Strong page one rankings took 3-6 months depending on competition and starting position.

Three needed full rebuilds. Two had decent sites that just needed local SEO optimisation, schema markup, and content improvements.

The emergency plumber and dentist saw fastest results because they had less competition and higher search intent. The estate agent took longest due to a more competitive market.
