Mako Digital works with businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester that need a website which does more than look the part. We build WordPress websites and deliver local SEO that puts you in front of people actively searching — whether that is "web designer Manchester", "plumber near me", or your specific service in a specific area.
Manchester is a competitive market. There are thousands of businesses fighting for the same search results. The difference between getting found and getting buried usually comes down to how well your website is built, how fast it loads, and whether your SEO is actually targeting the right searches. That is what we focus on.

We build websites that do one job well — convert visitors into enquiries. No template sites, no bloated page builders, no sites that take ten seconds to load.
Every site we build runs on WordPress — one of the most trusted and widely used platforms on the web. You get full ownership, the ability to update your own content, and a system that grows with your business. No proprietary platforms, no monthly builder fees, no lock-in.
A one-page site works well if you offer a single service and want a fast, focused online presence. If you cover multiple services or areas across Manchester, a multi-page site gives each one a dedicated page — which means more opportunities to rank in Google.
Most local searches in Manchester now happen on mobile. We design for phones first, then scale up. Every page is optimised for speed — compressed images, clean code, fast hosting. Google measures this, and so do your visitors.
Your website exists to generate business. Every page we build has visible contact details, strong calls-to-action, click-to-call buttons, and enquiry forms placed where people actually see them. No burying your phone number in the footer.
A well-built site means nothing if nobody finds it. Our SEO services help Manchester businesses rank where it counts — in local search results, the map pack, and the searches your customers are actually running.
Manchester SEO is not a set-and-forget job. The competition is real, and the businesses that rank consistently are the ones investing in it month after month. We are straightforward about timelines — expect three to six months before you see sustained results. But the return on that investment, once it lands, outperforms almost every other marketing channel for local businesses.
Manchester has no shortage of web agencies. The city is full of them — from large studios with 50-strong teams to freelancers working out of co-working spaces. So why work with us? Because we focus on outcomes over output. We do not pad proposals with services you do not need. We build what works, we make sure it ranks, and we keep it running.
A lot of Manchester agencies charge city centre rates for work that gets passed to junior developers or outsourced overseas. With Mako Digital, you deal directly with the people building your site and managing your SEO. No account managers relaying messages. No five-day response times. When you need something, it gets done.
We also think beyond launch. A website is not a one-off project — it is a tool your business relies on every day. We offer ongoing hosting, support, and SEO so your site stays fast, secure, and visible. Not just the week it goes live, but every week after that.
We work with Manchester businesses that rely on local customers. If your enquiries come from search, we can help.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, joiners, plasterers, landscapers, gas engineers. In a city this size, the tradespeople who rank on page one get the calls. We help you get there and stay there.
Accountants, solicitors, mortgage brokers, financial planners, architects, consultants. Your website is the first thing a potential client checks. If it looks amateur or loads slowly, they move on to the next firm.
Restaurants, cafes, bars, salons, barbers, independent retailers. Manchester has a thriving high street and food scene. People search before they visit — your website and Google listing need to be ready for them.
Cleaners, personal trainers, dog walkers, mobile valeting, photographers, event planners. A clean website with local SEO foundations is the most reliable way to fill your calendar without paying for ads every month.
We work with businesses across Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Didsbury, Chorlton, Altrincham, Stretford, Eccles, Wythenshawe, Prestwich, Middleton, Swinton, and the wider Greater Manchester area. Whether you operate from a city centre office or cover the whole region from a van, we build websites and SEO strategies that target your actual service area.
Common questions from Manchester businesses looking for web design and SEO.
One-page websites start from £149.99 as a one-off build. Multi-page sites are quoted based on scope and complexity. We give you a clear, fixed price before any work starts — what we quote is what you pay.
Manchester is one of the most competitive local markets in the UK, so timelines vary. Most businesses see measurable progress within three to six months. We set honest expectations from the start and focus on rankings that hold, not quick fixes that disappear.
With a larger agency you often get passed between account managers and junior staff. With us, you deal directly with the people doing the work. Faster turnaround, clearer communication, and pricing that reflects the job — not the overheads of a city centre office.
Yes. We set up or optimise your Google Business Profile, configure service areas and categories, advise on review strategy, and manage regular posts. For Manchester businesses, appearing in the map pack is often the fastest route to new enquiries.
