Local SEO for UK small businesses that turns search visibility into real enquiries. On-page optimisation, schema markup, Google Business Profile, location pages, content strategy, and monthly reporting in plain English. Wigan-based, working UK-wide.
Search ranking isn't one thing — it's a stack of technical, on-page, and off-page work that has to all stack up. Here's what we cover, every retainer.
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, internal linking, semantic HTML, optimised images, canonical URLs. The core technical foundations every page needs to compete.
LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Review, Breadcrumb, Organization, Person, Product, AggregateRating — proper structured data for every page type. Gold-star eligible in SERPs.
GBP setup, optimisation, photo strategy, review handling, posts schedule, Q&A management, citations, and ongoing local rank tracking. Map pack visibility starts here.
Dedicated pages targeting specific towns and regions — properly written, locally relevant, with town-specific content. The architecture behind ranking in multiple locations at once.
Keyword research, search intent mapping, content gap analysis, and ongoing content production. Long-tail and commercial-intent keywords prioritised, not vanity terms.
Plain-English monthly reports — what we did, what ranked, what the data says. No 40-page PDFs of vanity metrics. Just the things that matter, explained clearly.
Every retainer level gets these as standard. Not bolt-ons, not optional, not "for an additional fee".
Schema markup, technical audits, Core Web Vitals, GSC, GA4, Yoast — actual hands-on experience, not regurgitated articles. We rank our own site Map Pack #2 in Wigan.
When something needs fixing in the code or schema, we fix it. No "raise a ticket with the developer" — most agencies can't actually edit your site, we can.
Monthly retainers, cancel any time with 30 days notice. We earn your business each month rather than locking you into 12-month commitments.
You get GSC and GA4 access from day one. You see what we see. Every rank, every click, every page indexed. No hiding behind dashboards.
Talk to the person doing the work. No account managers, no junior staff, no offshore teams. Direct line to Martin during business hours.
Monthly reports that actually make sense. What ranked, what didn't, what we're doing next month, why. No vanity metrics, no fluff, no 40-page PDFs.

The questions every UK small business asks before commissioning SEO work. Straight answers below.
Our SEO retainers start at £99/month for single-location small businesses, scale to £249/month for multi-service or multi-location coverage, and £499/month for larger businesses or competitive markets. One-off SEO audits and technical fixes are quoted separately, typically £299-£799 depending on scope. No long contracts, cancel any time with 30 days notice.
Technical fixes (schema, page speed, broken links, missing meta data) can show impact within 2-4 weeks. Content and ranking improvements typically show in 3-6 months. Building topical authority and competitive ranking for high-value keywords usually takes 6-12 months of consistent work. We focus on quick wins early and compound progress over time.
No — and anyone who does is selling you nonsense. Google's algorithm changes constantly and rankings depend on competition, content, technical health, and dozens of other signals. What we guarantee is real, hands-on technical work, transparent reporting, and consistent execution of best practices. Our own site ranks Map Pack #2 in Wigan as proof we eat our own dog food.
Local SEO targets searches with geographic intent — "plumber Wigan", "hair salon near me", "accountants Bolton". It involves Google Business Profile, location pages, local citations, and area-specific schema. General SEO targets broader queries — "how to install a boiler", "best WordPress themes". Most UK small businesses need local SEO. Most B2B SaaS companies need general SEO. We do both.
No agency overheads, no junior account managers, no Manchester office I'm paying for, no salesperson commission. I'm the SEO consultant, the technical implementer, and the person who reports to you. That removes about 70% of the cost a comparable agency carries. Same quality work, lower price, direct access to the person actually doing it.
Yes — most of our SEO clients have sites built elsewhere. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom platforms. We can audit and improve any platform with proper access. If your site's on a platform we can't fully edit, we'll tell you upfront and either work around it or recommend a migration.
Plain-English monthly report covering: rank tracking for your target keywords, GSC clicks/impressions/CTR data, GA4 organic traffic and conversions, work completed that month, work planned next month, and key wins or issues to flag. Plus a 30-minute call to walk through it. No vanity metrics, no 40-page PDFs of charts you don't need.
Both. We can optimise existing location pages with proper schema, content, and internal linking. Or build new ones from scratch following hub-and-spoke architecture — RADCaT has 10 location pages across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, and Cheshire built this way, all indexed and ranking. New location pages are typically £99-£199 each depending on length.
Yes — included in our Authority retainer (£499/month). Manual outreach to relevant UK directories, trade associations, local business listings, and industry publications. We don't buy links, we don't do PBNs, we don't use sketchy networks. Just legitimate, lasting links from real UK sites. Slower than dodgy alternatives but won't get you penalised.
Other ways we can help with your website, your visibility, and your local market.
