SEO & Content Strategy
Get found by the people who actually matter
A beautiful website means nothing if nobody can find it. We help small businesses rank on Google, attract local customers, and turn organic traffic into real revenue.
Search engine optimisation isn't magic and it isn't a dark art. It's the methodical process of making your website the most relevant, most trustworthy, and most useful result for the searches your customers are already making. When done well, it brings you a steady stream of enquiries without paying for every single click.
For most small businesses in Croydon and South London, local SEO is where the biggest wins live. When someone searches for your type of service "near me" or in your area, you need to be visible: in the map pack, in the organic results, and ideally in both. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build consistent local citations, and ensure your website sends all the right signals to Google about where you are and what you do.
Keyword research is the foundation of everything. We identify the exact terms your potential customers are typing into Google, assess the competition for each one, and prioritise the opportunities where you can realistically rank. There's no point chasing vanity keywords with millions of searches if a more specific term would bring you better-qualified leads.
Content strategy goes hand-in-hand with SEO. Every page on your site is an opportunity to rank for a relevant search term and provide genuine value to your visitors. We plan and create content that serves both purposes, answering the questions your customers are asking while building your authority in Google's eyes.
Technical SEO ensures nothing is getting in the way. Page speed, mobile usability, crawlability, structured data. These behind-the-scenes factors can make or break your rankings. We audit everything, fix what needs fixing, and set up monitoring so issues are caught before they become problems.
The result is a compounding asset. Unlike paid ads, which stop generating traffic the moment you stop paying, good SEO builds momentum over time. The content you publish today continues bringing visitors for months and years to come. It's the most cost-effective marketing channel for most small businesses, and we'll help you make the most of it.
SEO is also the foundation for the next wave of discoverability: AI Engine Optimisation (AIEO). As more people use tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to find businesses, the same authority, structured data, and content quality that drives SEO success also makes your business more likely to be recommended by AI. It's not a replacement for SEO. It's the next step.
How It Works
Our process
SEO Audit
We analyse your current website, Google Business Profile, and competitor landscape to identify exactly where the opportunities are and what's holding you back.
Strategy
Based on the audit, we build a clear SEO roadmap: target keywords, content priorities, technical fixes, and a realistic timeline for results.
Implementation
We get to work: optimising on-page elements, fixing technical issues, building out content, and strengthening your local search presence across Google.
Monitoring & Reporting
You receive monthly reports showing keyword rankings, traffic growth, and conversions. We continuously refine the strategy based on what the data tells us.
Frequently asked questions
How long until I see results?
SEO is a long game. Most businesses start seeing measurable improvements in 3 to 6 months, with significant results building over 6 to 12 months. Local SEO can sometimes move faster, especially if your Google Business Profile hasn't been optimised yet. We set realistic expectations from day one and track progress monthly so you can see the trajectory clearly.
What's local SEO?
Local SEO focuses on making your business visible to people searching in your area. When someone in Croydon searches 'plumber near me' or 'best coffee shop in South London', local SEO determines which businesses appear in the map pack and top results. It involves optimising your Google Business Profile, building local citations, earning reviews, and ensuring your website signals relevance for your service area.
Do I need a blog?
Not necessarily, but content does matter. A blog is one way to publish helpful, keyword-targeted content that brings people to your site. But it's not the only way. Service pages, FAQs, case studies, and location pages can all drive organic traffic. We'll recommend the content format that makes the most sense for your business and your audience.
Can you guarantee first page rankings?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google's algorithm considers hundreds of factors, and no agency controls all of them. What we can guarantee is a methodical, transparent approach based on proven techniques. We focus on sustainable growth rather than shortcuts that might get results today and penalties tomorrow.
What tools do you use?
We use a combination of industry-standard tools including Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs for keyword research and backlink analysis, Screaming Frog for technical audits, and Google Business Profile Manager for local SEO. You get full access to all reporting dashboards so there's complete transparency into what we're doing and why.
