The short answer

Local SEO for a St Helens business costs from £225 a month on a 12-month plan, or £249 a month rolling, plus VAT, with Mako Digital. The work covers your Google Business Profile, pages for your services and the St Helens areas you cover, reviews and listings, and being found by AI tools.

Local SEO for St Helens businesses

St Helens has a strong base of trades, manufacturers, logistics firms and local services, many of them clustered along the A580 and the M6 at Haydock. A lot of these businesses have grown on word of mouth, and many have a website and Google profile that have not been looked at in years.

That creates an opening. In plenty of St Helens trades, the businesses at the top of Google are not necessarily the best, just the ones that have kept their Google Business Profile complete, collected reviews and published clear pages about what they do and where.

We will be straight with you: most of our clients are in Wigan borough, and we do not have a St Helens client to point to yet. The approach we bring is the one we use every month for businesses a few miles up the road.

SEO in St Helens: common questions

Who does the work. Mako Digital was founded in Wigan in 2023 by Martin Kenyon, who brings over 7 years of experience in web design and SEO. Mako Digital is the trading name of 24K Solutions Ltd.

Do you have clients in St Helens?

Not yet. Most of our clients are in Wigan borough, about eight miles away, and the approach we use there is the one we bring to St Helens businesses.

Do you cover Haydock and Newton-le-Willows?

Yes. We work with businesses across WA9, WA10 and WA11, including Haydock, Rainford and Eccleston, and nearby Newton-le-Willows.

My business is busy from word of mouth. Do I need SEO?

Not necessarily. If you are fully booked, a complete Google Business Profile and a steady flow of reviews may be all you need. SEO makes sense when you want customers who do not know you yet.

How much does SEO cost in St Helens?

Our plans start at £225 a month on a 12-month plan, or £249 a month rolling, plus VAT. Growth is from £400 a month and Lead Engine, our biggest plan, from £675 a month. Google Ads management is an optional extra, price on request.

How long does local SEO take to work?

Most local businesses see meaningful movement within 3 to 6 months. Fixes to your Google Business Profile can show sooner. Competitive trades take longer.

Do you guarantee first place on Google?

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a position, because Google decides. We guarantee the work: what we will do each month, and a plain-English report showing what changed.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. The 12-month plan gives you the lower monthly price, and there is a rolling monthly option at a slightly higher price with 30 days' notice.
