SEO questions, answered clearly

Packages and retainers start at five hundred pounds a month. What you need depends on how competitive your market is and how much ground there is to make up. I will tell you after a free Growth Plan, not before.

No. Work is month to month. If it is not working, you leave. I earn the next month by what I did in the last one.

Yes when a rebuild is the right call. Many sites can be fixed without a full rebuild. If you need a new site, I offer web design built for speed, enquiries and search.

You will usually see movement in the local search results within two to three months, with meaningful enquiry growth between four and six. Local SEO moves faster than national work. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either lying or targeting terms nobody searches.

National SEO usually takes longer than local work because competition is broader. Expect early technical and on-page gains within the first couple of months, with stronger ranking movement as content and links compound over three to six months and beyond. See SEO services.

Rankings often move first. Enquiries follow once you hold stable positions on commercial terms and your pages convert. Most clients see a clearer enquiry lift between four and six months when the foundations are solid.

After a discovery call and Growth Plan, most retainers start within one to two weeks. New website builds are scoped separately and depend on content readiness.

Link building earns mentions and links from trusted websites. Search engines treat those as votes of confidence. Most competitive local and national campaigns need some authority work alongside on-page and technical SEO. See link building services.

No. I build links through relevant outreach, digital PR and genuine placements. Cheap link schemes can damage a site and are not worth the risk.

There is no fixed number. What matters is relevance, quality and whether the links support the pages you want to rank. I set targets from competitor gap analysis, not vanity volume.

Yes. Authoritative mentions and clear entity signals help large language models trust and cite a brand. Link building sits alongside content and schema work for AI visibility.

No. Local SEO work is accurate to your towns, not mine. I also run national SEO and link building for businesses across the UK.

Yes. Multi-town coverage usually needs location pages, Google Business Profile strategy and consistent NAP citations so each area you serve is clear to search engines and customers.
