Setup and technical fixes
Titles, indexing, speed basics, and broken links fixed on the pages that bring customers.
The Problem
You're Great at the Work, but Google Shows Your Competitors First
Small businesses lose search traffic quietly. The website was built once, the owner is busy with customers, and nobody has time to learn what Google wants this year.
One-page site
All your services sit on one page Google can't sort.
One-page site
We give each service its own page aimed at what customers search.
Lost forms
Contact forms email an inbox nobody checks.
Lost forms
We test every form and track each call and enquiry in GA4.
No time
You'd fix the site, but evenings go to quotes.
No time
We write new pages from a short monthly call, in your own words.
Vague reports
Past SEO offers sent rankings but didn't say what changed.
Vague reports
Every report lists our changes next to the calls and forms they brought.
A customer tells you they almost didn't call because they couldn't find you on Google. You search your own service and town, and a handful of competitors show up first, one with worse reviews than yours. Your website lists everything on one page, and the contact form emails an inbox nobody checks. The last SEO offer you got was a cold email promising first place. You'd fix it yourself, but evenings are for quotes and invoices.
We start with the few pages that bring customers: your services, your locations, and your contact page. Our developers fix what stops Google from reading them, and our writers turn a short monthly call into new pages in your words. Calls and forms get tracked, so you see what search brings in. It's SEO that runs alongside your business instead of on top of it.
30 minutes of your time
One short monthly call covers approvals, questions, and the details for new pages.
Calls and forms tracked
Reports count enquiries from search, not just rankings you can't spend.
Fixes done inside your site
Our developers make changes in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or Webflow themselves.
Our Small Business SEO Process
From First Call to Steady Leads in Five Simple Steps
You give us a short call and read-only access. We handle the fixes, pages, and tracking, and you approve anything that changes what customers see.
We look at your website, your Google Business Profile, and the searches your customers use, then compare you with the businesses that show up first. You get a short list of what to fix and a plan price.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from business owners we have built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Owners Pick a Small Business SEO Company With Developers
A small business can't afford SEO that only sends advice. These habits keep the work inside your site and the reporting in plain English.
We guard your time
We keep requests to one monthly call and short email approvals. Your attention belongs to customers, so we plan our questions before we ask them.
Plain English, no jargon
Reports explain changes in everyday words: what we did, why, and what it brought in. If a term needs explaining, we explain it.
Prices you can plan around
Each plan lists its monthly price and what it includes. If something new comes up, we quote it before starting, so there are no surprise invoices.
No tricks that risk your site
We follow Google's spam policies: no bought links and no mass-produced pages. Shortcuts that work for a month can cost a small business its rankings for a year.
Checked on a phone
Every page we touch gets tested on a phone before it goes live. That's where most of your customers will find you, often while standing in a parking lot.
Everything stays in your name
Your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console, and GA4 stay in your accounts. If you leave, you keep every page and setting we built.

Good fit
Owners who are their own marketing team
You run the business, answer the phone, and do the marketing at night, so SEO has to work without hours of your time.
Service businesses with one location
Your website is a few years old, and customers still find you through referrals while competitors show up first on Google.
Shops and studios on Wix or Squarespace
You built your site on Wix or Squarespace yourself, and you want SEO for small business sites that works inside those builders.
Owners burned by a cheap SEO deal
You paid for affordable seo services for small business owners before, got a monthly PDF, and couldn't tell what anyone changed.
Agencies with small business clients
You build sites for local businesses, and clients keep asking for SEO you can't staff at their budget.
Not a fit
Several markets, bigger budget
You compete in several cities or service lines and can spend more than $1,750 a month. Our SEO Services program adds more content, links, and developer time.
Rebuild needed first
Your website is slow, broken on phones, or hard to edit. Small Business Website Design should come first, because SEO on a failing site wastes the budget.
Doing it yourself
You have time to make changes yourself and only need a plan. Our SEO Consultant engagement gives you a ranked to-do list and review calls.
Budget under $750 a month
Your SEO budget is under $750 a month. A one-time SEO audit from our SEO Audit Services gives you a fix list to work through at your own pace.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
SEO is worth it when customers search for what you sell in your area or niche. If people type your service into Google, pages that rank can bring calls month after month without paying per click. If almost nobody searches for your offer, referrals or ads are a better use of money. When referrals already fill your calendar, we'll say so before we quote.
Buyers often check Google before they call, even after a friend recommends you. If your site doesn't show up, or looks outdated when it does, they call the next result. Search also keeps working while you're on a job, which matters when nobody on your team has time for marketing.
Our small business SEO services start at $750 per month for one location and a simple site. The $1,100 plan adds more pages and link outreach, and the $1,750 plan covers up to 3 locations or service lines. Every plan includes the free audit, technical fixes, new content, and a plain-English monthly report.
Setup fixes go live in about 2 weeks. Rankings for less competitive searches often move within 3 to 6 months, while crowded markets can take 6 to 12 months. Google's SEO starter guide says some changes take effect in a few hours and others take several months, so we report progress monthly.
Yes, when the basics are in place. The site has to be technically sound, each service needs its own page, and Google needs reasons to trust you, such as reviews and local links. It works gradually: fixes show quickly, but competitive rankings take months. Google itself warns that no one can promise a #1 ranking, so be wary of anyone who does.
Ask what they'll change on your site each month and how they'll report calls and forms. Google suggests asking for examples of past work, whether they follow Google Search Essentials, and what results to expect in what timeframe. Walk away from anyone who promises first place or a special relationship with Google.
The best fit is the one that matches your budget, does the work inside your site, and reports in calls and bookings. Large agencies suit multi-location brands. Among seo companies for small business, look for published prices, named deliverables, and someone who can edit your website directly rather than send instructions.
About 30 minutes a month. We hold one 30-minute call each month and use part of it to interview you for new pages, so you don't write drafts. You approve page changes by email, and our team handles everything else, from fixes to the report.
Not usually. Most small business sites on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or Webflow can rank once titles, page structure, speed basics, and service pages are fixed. A rebuild makes sense when the site is broken on phones, too slow to fix, or impossible to edit, and then Small Business Website Design comes first.
You keep everything we created: the pages, articles, fixes, tracking setup, and reports. Our work lives in your website, your Search Console, and your GA4 account, not in ours. Nothing gets removed when you stop, and we hand over a short note on what's live and what to watch next.
