Is there enough search traffic in North Devon to make SEO worthwhile?

Yes, for most trades. A tradesperson needs only a steady handful of enquiries a month, and local searches can supply that. There are also fewer firms chasing each search than there are in a city.

How soon will I see a difference?

Changes to the Google Business Profile can show within weeks. New website pages take longer, usually a few months. You see the movement in your report each month.

I work from home. Can I be on the map without showing my address?

Yes. Google lets you hide the address and list the areas you serve. We set that up for you.

Do you write the pages for each town?

Yes, with your help. You tell us about the jobs you have done there and we write the page. You approve it before it goes live.

Can you help me get more Google reviews?

Yes. We give you a short link and a simple routine for asking customers. We never write or buy reviews.

Start with the listing, then the website

For most North Devon trades the quickest win is the Google Business Profile. It is free, it feeds the map results, and many local firms have left theirs half finished. We complete it: the right categories, every service listed, your service area set properly, photographs added and a routine for collecting reviews.

The website comes next. It needs a page for each service and each main town, written for people, with titles that match what they type.

Think in postcodes

It helps to plan by postcode. Barnstaple is EX31 and EX32, Braunton EX33, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe EX34, South Molton EX36, Torrington EX38 and Bideford EX39. Few businesses need all of them. We ask which ones bring you the best jobs and concentrate there first.

A typical first three months

Month one: find and fix
A full check of the website and your Google Business Profile, then the technical fixes: speed, mobile layout, broken pages, missing titles.
Month two: build
New or rewritten pages for the services and places you want work from. The Google Business Profile is completed and a routine for asking for reviews is in place.
Month three: widen
Listings on the main directories are corrected to match, links from relevant local and trade websites are sought, and the next set of pages is planned from what the first report shows.

What you see every month

One report, written in plain English. It shows where you rank for the searches we agreed, and the enquiries that came through the website. If something has not moved, the report says so and says what we are doing about it.

SEO is steady work and not a switch. Technical fixes can show within weeks, and good local positions usually take a few months. We tell you what is realistic for your trade before you spend anything.
