Small Business SEO Services

What is SEO? …. Its £££ you are missing out on!

Small Business SEO Services or search engine optimisation for smaller businesses is the process of getting your website to show higher than your competitors for your chosen keywords.

So, if you are an emergency plumber in Chester, you would want your website to appear on Google and other major search engines for the search term “emergency plumber Chester.”

The search term or keyword “emergency plumber Chester” is worth 70 clicks a month.

If you are on page 2 for this search term and your competitor is on page 1 and position 1, who do you think will get more phone calls?

Well, let me tell you because page 1, position 1, is currently taken by Checkatrade, who are getting 17 clicks a month, and the guy on page 1, position 8, is getting 3 clicks a month, so any plumber on page 2 will be getting nothing.

If any average invoice is £200 to £400, then you do the maths!

The screenshot shows that I could easily rank a plumber for this term, as the difficulty rating is only 7%.

Do I need SEO? …. Being blunt, do you want more money?

Let’s stick with the theme of plumbers and Chester as the location.

As you can see from the screenshot, the search term “plumber Chester” has a monthly search volume of 320.

Position 1, page 1, is again taken by Checkatrade, which enjoys 39 clicks a month from this search term alone.

The business that is on page 1, but position 10, so the bottom of the first page on the search results receives a mere 1 visit a month.

For example, if an average bill to fit a shower is £400 or to fit an entire bathroom is £6000, just a few more clicks could help the guy at position 10.

Could I rank a plumber for this keyword and overtake Checkatrade at position 1? with a difficulty rating of 13% yes I could with some well written content, the correct website structure and a few Google reviews then yes I could.

Frequently Asked Question

I don’t offer a one-price-fits-all option, as every situation is different. The level of competition and what your rivals are doing with SEO is a significant driver. I work to your budget; for example, £80 a month will get you a website audit with recommendations you can implement. Hence, you need to be happy to invest approximately a minimum of £350 to £500 a month to see top results.

For what search term? For example, if you wanted to rank number 1 for kitchen fitter for the whole of the UK, you would need a vast budget; however, kitchen fitter Chester is much more achievable with a much smaller budget.

Be wary of anyone who states they can rank you for any term you choose.

No. Any decent SEO will not offer you a guarantee.

Search engines such as Google explicitly warn companies not to work with SEOs that offer guarantees.

Google also notes that “no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google” and warns companies to “beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings.

You won’t get found and will waste time and money building a website.

You won’t get found and will waste time and money building a website.

Yes and no. What I mean by saying this is that sites I worked on 3 years ago are still ranking well; however, SEO is not all doable in 1 month and doing too much all at once may work against you.

 

Possibly, it depends on how old the site is and, more importantly, how well it is built. Starting from scratch with a website that I build could be a more cost-effective solution.
