SEO
Technical SEO, local visibility and structured content for Kent businesses — built into every new site, or as standalone SEO work on an existing one.
Most small business websites fail SEO for fixable reasons: slow load times, weak page structure, missing local signals, or content that does not answer what people actually search. The work below is what gets scoped, prioritised and implemented — on a new build or an existing site.
Most ranking problems start with fixable technical issues — slow pages, broken links, poor crawlability, or structure that stops Google understanding your site. I audit what is holding you back and implement priority fixes: metadata, heading hierarchy, sitemaps, redirects and performance basics.
If you rely on local customers, your site and Google Business Profile need to tell the same clear story. I align on-page location signals, schema markup and town-level content so you show up for searches like “metal fabrication Sittingbourne” or “web designer Canterbury”.
Kent web design hubGoogle rewards pages that directly answer what people search. I improve page titles, internal linking, service page structure and content gaps — so each important page has a clear job and connects logically to the rest of the site.
Slow, awkward mobile experiences hurt both rankings and enquiries. I fix load times, layout stability and mobile usability issues that often get overlooked on older or template-built sites.
AI search tools cite businesses with clear, factual content — not keyword-stuffed pages. I structure service pages, FAQs and supporting files like llms.txt so tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity can reference your business accurately.
SEO work is agreed upfront — no vague retainers, no mystery reports. Scroll through how a typical project runs from first review to handover.
