SEO and AI search for local businesses
A great-looking website is only half the job. Good local SEO is what makes it show up on Google when a customer near you is ready to buy. It comes built into every site I make, at no extra cost.
A website nobody can find can't bring you work
You can have the best-looking site in the Dales, but if it doesn't show up when someone searches, it sits there quietly earning you nothing. Getting found is the part that actually turns a website into phone calls and bookings.
So every site I build comes with the SEO groundwork done properly from day one: fast pages, clean structure, the right local signals, and your Google Business Profile set up to match. No add-ons you didn't ask for, no jargon, just a site that gets found.
What's included in every build
Found in your area
Your business set up to rank in your town and the places nearby you actually serve, from Settle to Skipton, Burnley and Colne.
On the map
Google Business Profile built and connected, so you show up in the local map results, not just the main list of links.
Fast and mobile-first
Quick-loading pages that work on every phone, which is exactly what Google rewards. Nothing launches until it passes my pre-launch speed check.
The technical bits, handled
Structured data, sitemaps, clean page titles and descriptions, all done as standard. You never have to think about any of it.
Written for real customers
Clear, honest copy about what you actually do, never stuffed with keywords to game a search engine.
What about AI search?
Search is changing. More people now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI for a recommendation instead of scrolling through results. I build your site so those tools can pick it up too.
Here's the part most won't tell you: for a local business this is still a small slice of how customers find you today, so I won't oversell it. But doing it right costs nothing extra, and it puts you ahead of businesses who haven't thought about it yet. When it does matter more, your site is already ready.

Does my business really need to worry about AI search?
For most local businesses it's a small slice of traffic today, so I won't oversell it. But building your site so AI tools can read it costs nothing extra and puts you ahead.
How quickly will I show up on Google?
Your map listing can start showing within weeks. Ranking in the normal search results builds over time. I set the foundations right so it keeps improving rather than stalling.
