Audits and reporting
Know where your website stands
Before you can improve your search results you need to know what is holding them back. An SEO report shows the current SEO status of your site, and correctly configured search tools show you what Google and Bing themselves recommend.
These are a good starting point, and they feed directly into our monthly SEO packages.
Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools
We set up and monitor your search settings, including Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and act on up to three Google or Bing recommendations per month.
SEO status reports
An SEO report showing your site’s current SEO status, so you can see what is working and what needs attention. All of our monthly packages include a monthly local audit, and our SEO Gold package adds an ongoing technical audit and monthly reporting.

Be recommended by AI search and virtual assistants
Being visible now also means being mentioned by AI assistants and AI-powered tools such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and the AI answers shown in Google search. Businesses that adapt early have a real advantage: they become the ones AI recommends first, connecting them with motivated customers.
We improve the likelihood that your business is found, understood and mentioned, and we make your website easier for AI agents to access. No one can guarantee what an AI assistant will say, but a well-prepared site gives you the best chance.
AI search builds on solid SEO, so our SEO packages and local SEO work give you the foundation. Contact us for a quote for AI search optimisation on your site.
We work on the things AI tools rely on to decide who to mention:
Clear, helpful content that answers the questions your customers ask
Structured data (schema markup) so your business, services and prices are machine-readable
Accurate, consistent business information across your website and listings
A strong Google Business Profile and Bing profile
Reviews and trusted mentions that back up your credibility
Improve AI agent access to your website
AI agents and assistants need to be able to reach and read your website. We check and improve:
Whether AI crawlers can access your pages, and a sensible policy for which they can use
Clean, well-structured pages that load quickly and read well for machines as well as people
Machine-readable details such as services, prices, opening hours and contact information
Clear routes for customers to contact or book you
FAQs
SEO: your questions answered
SEO
What is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)?
A website must be optimised for search engines (SEO) in order to rank on Google. Showing up high in Google’s organic search demonstrates your site’s relevance, trustworthiness, and authority. To stay at the top, your website needs to implement the latest SEO practices.
How does an SEO agency work?
SEO agencies specialize in improving search engine rankings for websites, businesses, and individuals. Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo use hundreds of ranking factors to determine what results to present every time someone types in a search term. The number of daily searches is estimated at over 6 billion. As well as constant updates, these algorithms remain top-secret. Therefore, SEO is a highly specialized skill and is an investment for businesses that want to receive more highly targeted traffic to their sites.
How long will SEO results take to improve?
It can be anything from one month to six months, depending on a number of different factors. For example, if you want to rank for your own brand and you have an established website, it can take just a few weeks if there is limited competition. It may take 6 months if you have an unoptimized domain, no backlinks, and you are competing for a high volume, high difficulty keyword or phrase. Understanding that SEO is a long-term investment is useful, even if it reduces your reliance on advertising.
Do you need access to my website to perform SEO?
Once the SEO audit has been completed, we will need to make changes to your website. Therefore, we would need access to your content management system (e.g. WordPress). For us to gain access, we have a specific secure login procedure.
How do you stay in the know about Google's updates?
A Google algorithm update can have a significant impact on businesses from all industries every now and then. We are kept informed of these updates through a number of tried and trusted channels. Our award-winning agency team can then react accordingly and implement any necessary measures to keep you in the top spot.
Do I need to use organic search engine optimisation or only PPC advertising?
SEO produces a higher ROI than PPC! It makes sense to use PPC when you’re first launching your company – it’s a great way to build brand awareness and get your name out there. On the whole, SEO traffic can provide a better ROI than paid media in the long run and certainly costs less than PPC. We can help with that if you want. If you’re interested, give us a call today.

Local SEO
What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps your business show up when people search for products or services near them. It focuses on things like your Google Business Profile, local keywords and consistent business details.
What does the Google Business Profile service include?
We set up your listing, optimise it for local search, add photos and business information, remove outdated or incorrect details from existing listings and monitor recommendations based on Google advice. It is a one-off service at £495.
Audits and reporting
What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit looks at how well your website is set up for search engines, covering things like meta data, headings, images, duplicated content, responsiveness and technical issues, and shows you what to fix first.
What is Google Search Console?
Google Search Console is a free Google tool that shows how your site performs in Google search and flags problems. Bing Webmaster Tools does the same for Bing. We set both up and monitor their recommendations.
How often will I get a report?
The SEO report is £55 per report per month. Our monthly SEO packages include monthly reporting as part of the service.
AI search
What is AI search optimisation?
It is the work of improving how often and how accurately your business is mentioned by AI assistants and AI-powered search tools, and making your website easier for AI agents to read and use. You may also see it called generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO).
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google AI will mention my business?
No. No one controls what an AI assistant says. We improve the likelihood by making sure your content, structured data, business information and online presence give AI tools good reason to mention you.
Is this different from normal SEO?
It builds on it. Good SEO remains the foundation, and AI search optimisation adds work on structured data, clear answers and making your site accessible to AI agents.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your website and what is needed, so please get in touch and we will give you a quote.
