01 What you get
What working with me gets your business
The point of SEO is more customers from Google. This is what the monthly work is for, and how you’ll know it’s working.
More local customers find you
Service and area pages planned around what people in Suffolk search for, so you show up when they’re looking for what you do.
More of them get in touch
Pages written to turn a visit into a call, a booking or an enquiry, and a monthly report that shows whether they did.
A website that’s looked after
Fixes, updates and new pages every month, on a rolling monthly plan with no long contract.
Your budget goes on the work
Each month’s fee pays for pages, fixes and upkeep that bring in traffic and enquiries, and you see what was done.
A straight answer first
If I don’t think I can grow your site, I’ll say so before you spend anything and point you somewhere better.
When an agency suits better
If you need SEO, paid search, social and design running at once, at pace, with cover when someone is on holiday, that is a team, and I am not one. I am the better answer when the thing you want is depth on search, done by someone who will still be the one doing it in six months.
02 Who it’s for
Who I work with locally
Trades and local services
Plumbers, builders, salons and clinics who need to be found by people searching for what they do, in their town.
Shops and places people visit
Where the map results and your Google Business Profile matter as much as the website itself.
Professional firms
Accountants, surveyors, solicitors and estate agents with a site that is dated or does not show up.
03 The monthly plan
Start with an audit, or go straight to monthly
One monthly fee for the website and the SEO. No setup fee and no minimum term. The plan covers the audit, the fixes and the pages, in the order your roadmap sets.

06 How it works
What actually gets done, in the order it gets done
Local SEO gets sold as a checklist. It is really a sequence: each step is wasted if the one before it has not happened.
- 01
Find out why you are not showing up
Most local sites have one or two specific problems doing most of the damage — a slow build, pages that were never indexed, a Google Business Profile that does not match the website, or simply no page for the thing people search. The audit finds which it is instead of guessing.
- 02
Fix the site itself
Crawl errors, redirect chains, page speed on real pages rather than the homepage, missing structured data, the mobile experience. Not a report telling you what is wrong — the fixes, implemented, then rechecked once Google has recrawled.
- 03
Win the searches that come with a postcode
Google Business Profile filled in properly, business details consistent everywhere they appear, and a review approach that does not rely on you remembering to ask. This is where most of the map-pack visibility comes from, and it is usually the most neglected part.
- 04
Build pages for what people actually type
Real search terms with real volume, turned into pages worth landing on — including the questions you will never charge for, because those are what make Google treat you as the answer rather than a candidate.
- 05
Report it honestly, every month
What I did, what moved, what is next. Clicks and enquiries, not impressions — impressions go up when you rank 47th instead of not at all, which is not a result and I will not report it as one.
Where the clients are
Most of the work is remote wherever the client is, Suffolk included. The difference locally is that meeting in person is practical.

He explains everything clearly and sends detailed updates so I always know what’s being done and what the next steps are. I appreciate that he focuses on building a solid long-term strategy rather than quick fixes.”
★★★★★
“I was looking for someone to go through my website and determine why my pages weren’t ranking with Google. Mike did exactly that and was able to pinpoint the issues and come up with a solution. He even fixed the ones he could before we moved onto the next project.”

08 Questions
Common questions
Do you only work with Suffolk businesses?
No — roughly half my work is US-based and I work across the UK. But I am based in Mid Suffolk, I know the local market, and if you want to sit down in person that is genuinely possible here in a way it is not for most of my clients.
How much does SEO cost?
The free audit costs nothing. The full audit is £399 ($529), fixed price, and included with any monthly plan. Monthly plans start at £499 ($649) a month. Everything is scoped before you commit, and there are day rates for ad-hoc work — full detail on the pricing page.
How long before anything happens?
Technical fixes can move rankings within weeks. Content compounds more slowly — expect the curve to bend somewhere between month three and month six. Anyone promising page one next month is selling you something else.
Do I need a new website?
Usually not. Most sites can be fixed. I will tell you plainly if yours is the exception. A new small business site is built inside the monthly plan: the core pages in month one, then built on every month.
What if SEO is not right for my business?
Then I will say so. For some local businesses the honest answer is paid ads, or the Google Business Profile alone, or fixing what happens after someone gets in touch. I would rather tell you that than take a monthly fee for work that will not pay for itself.
