Problems I solve

What's usually holding a site like yours back

Lack of local presence

Competing against larger rivals while building a local presence can be daunting. From managing your Google Business profile to penning copy for your landing pages, I'll help you tap into your local target audience in Birmingham.

Ranking for the right keywords is a headache

Whether you want to target top-of-funnel keywords that grab the most traffic or bottom-of-funnel keywords that attract buying customers, we'll work together to perfect your keyword strategy.

Struggling to convert visitors into leads and customers

Traffic doesn't matter much if it doesn't lead to business results. That's why I also work hard to push your conversions up along with your traffic.

How it works

FAQ

Questions people ask before we start

How can a Birmingham SEO consultant help my business?

Most Birmingham businesses don’t need more traffic. They need the right traffic, the kind that comes from prospects five miles away who are ready to buy. My job is to design a custom SEO strategy to help you show up for those people, personalised to your business.

How much does SEO cost for a Birmingham business?

If you want work that moves the needle, expect to invest at least £1,000 a month, covering the basics done properly, technical fixes, content, and local optimisation. Bigger businesses that serve multiple areas across the West Midlands usually spend £1,500 to £3,000. Before we start, I’ll walk you through what’s realistic and what kind of return you can expect.

How long does it take for SEO to work in Birmingham?

If your website has been around for a while and Google already knows it exists, you’ll usually start to see small improvements within four to eight weeks. Leads often follow after three to six months, once the technical work, content, and local signals start to kick in. If your site is brand new, it can take longer. You can speed that up by earning local reviews, building a few good links, and getting mentioned on Birmingham sites.

What if my business covers several areas around Birmingham?

Then we build our strategy around those areas too. Each area, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Harborne, gets its own page, helping people find you in their part of town and giving Google the clarity it needs to rank you there.

Can you guarantee page one rankings?

No, and no one credible should. I can show you what’s achievable and what other Birmingham businesses are ranking for, but Google decides who shows up first. What I do guarantee is consistent, transparent work that moves you toward more leads.

How do you choose which keywords to target?

I start with your goals, what services bring profit and what areas you want to grow in, then research how people in Birmingham actually search for those services, and map the best keywords to specific pages based on search intent and conversion.

How do I get local backlinks for my Birmingham business?

Link building in Birmingham is about showing Google you’re a real part of the city. That means sponsoring something local, listing your business in local directories, getting featured in local media, teaming up with other Birmingham businesses, and working with Birmingham universities on partner content.
