Search optimisation, built into the pages.

Search optimisation decides whether your pages can be understood and trusted. We fix the structure, titles, headings, speed and local details, then show you what changed. There is no monthly retainer and no ranking promise, because nobody can honestly make one.

The short answer

Structure, speed and honest content. Not a ranking guarantee.

Most of the value in small business SEO comes from the unglamorous work: one clear purpose per page, a title that says what the page is, headings that follow each other, fast pages, and a business name, address and phone number that agree everywhere they appear.

What we change on the page

Technical and local

Sitemap, robots rules, canonical URLs, structured data and consistent business details across your profiles. For local businesses that also means the details that get you into map results: a consistent name, address and phone number, opening hours, and a service area you can actually deliver to.

How you can tell it worked

Search Console shows which queries bring impressions, which pages get clicks and what is indexed. We set it up so you can read it without us. Expect measurement in weeks and movement in months — anyone promising faster is guessing.

Ongoing SEO

If you want ongoing work — new pages, articles, integrations — we scope it as its own fixed-price piece rather than billing you monthly for the same report. Our cost research found agency SEO retainers between $400 and $2,000 a month; you do not have to buy that to have a sound site.

Questions

How long before I see results?

Measurement first, movement second. Ranking and indexing data in Search Console changes within weeks; meaningful movement usually takes months, and it depends on competition and what your pages already do. Any studio promising a position in days is not describing search.

Do you write the content as well?

Yes, when you want us to. We write around what you tell us about the business — services, prices, service area — and you approve every claim. We do not invent reviews, awards or years of experience.

How do you price a project?

With one fixed price, agreed in writing before anything starts. The quote sets out the scope, the revision allowance and the delivery date. There is no hourly meter running while we work, and no retainer afterwards.

Who owns the finished website?

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the email addresses are registered in your name, not ours. If we disappeared tomorrow, your website would not notice.

How long does it take?

Simple sites take days. Larger builds depend on their scope, and every quote includes an expected delivery date. Revisions inside the agreed scope are part of the deal, not an extra.

Tell us what you need. Send a few rough lines and we will come back with a scope, a fixed price and a delivery date in writing.
