FAQs
Questions about SEO in Leeds
What does “one business per postcode” mean?
We only take on one business in each industry in each postcode area. Once you're in, we won't work with a competitor targeting the same local customers.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Leeds and cover the whole of Yorkshire, including York, Harrogate, Bradford, Wakefield, Sheffield and Hull. Get in touch to check your industry is still available in your area.
I already have a website. Do I need a new one?
Not always. We'll look at your current site during your free check and tell you honestly whether it can be improved or needs rebuilding.
Do you run Google Ads?
Our packages focus on organic local search and the Google map results, so Google Ads aren't included. If it's something you'd like, we can set it up alongside your package. Just ask and we'll talk it through.
Do you optimise for AI search, like ChatGPT?
Yes, it's part of every package. ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot use Bing's search results, so we set you up on Bing as well as Google, with Bing Webmaster Tools and a Bing Places listing. We also make sure your website and listings clearly explain what you do and where, so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Copilot can understand your business. On Growth and Dominate we check what they say about you each month. Nobody can guarantee an AI tool will recommend you, but the work that helps you rank on Google helps here too.
Will I know straight away when someone enquires?
Yes. Every website we build texts you the moment someone fills in your form, with their name, number and what they need, and texts them to say you've got their enquiry. After each job, you can text customers a link to leave you a Google review from a private page on your phone. It's included in every package.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Any local business that wins customers from its area, from trades and home services to clinics, salons, shops and professional services. If people search for what you do near them, we can help.
