SEO services

SEO that ships with the build — not bolted on later.

Practical search engine optimisation for UK businesses: technical foundations, clearer pages, content that earns enquiries, local visibility where it matters, and reporting you can actually read.

Overview

SEO that respects how your site is built

Search visibility dies when technical debt, weak pages and vague “content strategies” fight each other. I treat SEO as part of the product: crawl health, page intent, speed, schema, and content that earns enquiries — not vanity traffic.

Foundations ship with every website I build. Deeper audits, content programmes and local SEO are scoped as clear deliverables so you only pay for work that moves the needle.

If you’re stuck on page four, we’ll prioritise honestly: technical fixes vs content vs local — so we don’t polish the wrong thing first.

Details

What SEO with Jamie includes

Pick a focused audit, layer SEO into a new website, or run an ongoing programme. Every engagement has written deliverables — not a mystery “we’ll do SEO” line item.

Technical SEO audit

Find what’s holding the site back under the bonnet before you pour money into content.

  • Crawl and indexation review (coverage, blocked pages, orphans)
  • Core Web Vitals and performance priorities
  • Mobile usability and render issues
  • Redirect chains, soft 404s and thin/duplicate pages
  • Schema opportunities that match the business

On-page optimisation

Make key pages clear for people and search engines — same message, no stuffing.

  • Title tags and meta descriptions that earn clicks
  • Heading structure and internal linking
  • URL and breadcrumb logic
  • Page intent mapping (which URL owns which query)
  • Image alt and media hygiene

Keyword & content strategy

Know what to publish — and what to ignore so you don’t write into a void.

  • Priority keyword map tied to real services
  • Content gaps versus competitors
  • Editorial briefs your team can actually write from
  • Cannibalisation checks (two pages fighting for the same term)
  • Topic clusters for blogs and service pages

Local SEO (UK)

Show up where nearby customers search for what you do.

  • Google Business Profile tidy-up and categories
  • NAP consistency (name, address, phone)
  • Local landing page structure
  • Reviews and trust-signal guidance
  • Maps and “near me” readiness where relevant

Analytics & Search Console

Measure enquiries and sales signals — not just “sessions went up”.

  • Google Search Console setup and coverage hygiene
  • Form / CTA / phone event tracking
  • Baseline snapshots before work starts
  • Plain-English monthly or project reporting
  • Priority list of next fixes, ranked by impact

Launch, migrations & ongoing care

SEO that keeps improving after go-live instead of rotting.

  • Foundations on every new site I build
  • Migration redirect maps that protect rankings
  • Content refresh sprints
  • Retainer options for continuous improvement

In practice

How I approach SEO (without the theatre)

Search visibility dies when technical debt, weak pages and vague “content strategies” fight each other. I treat SEO as part of the product: crawl health, page intent, speed, schema, and content that earns real enquiries — not vanity traffic charts.

Foundations ship with every website I build: sensible structure, titles and meta, sitemap and robots, performance discipline. Deeper audits, content programmes and local SEO are scoped as clear deliverables so you only pay for work that moves the needle.

I won’t promise “#1 in 30 days”. I will promise transparent priorities, work you can inspect, and reporting that explains what changed and why it matters.

Outcomes

What good SEO work looks like

A healthier technical base

Pages that can be crawled, indexed and loaded without fighting the CMS or host.

Clearer money pages

Service and product pages that match search intent and guide the next step.

A content plan with priorities

What to write first, what to skip, and how pages link together.

Local visibility (when relevant)

Maps, GBP and local pages that match how nearby customers search.

Reporting you can use

What improved, what’s next, and what needs your input (content, reviews, offers).

Difference

Why clients stick with Jamie

Direct access

You talk to the person designing and coding — not a sales desk. No account manager retelling your brief for the third time.

Written scopes

Clear deliverables, timeline and price before work starts. Scope changes are agreed in writing, not sprung as a surprise invoice.

Built to last

Clean structure, performance and handoff your team can actually use. No mystery page-builder spaghetti.

Aftercare

Hosting, updates and friendly help when something breaks at 5pm Friday. Optional retainers if you want ongoing peace of mind.

Already live but stuck on page four?

I’ll audit priorities first — technical fixes vs content vs local — so we don’t polish the wrong thing.

Process

SEO engagement process

Whether it’s an audit or an ongoing programme, the path is the same: diagnose, prioritise, ship, measure.

01

Baseline

Access, Search Console, analytics and a crawl. We capture what’s broken and what’s already working before changing anything important.

02

Priority plan

A ranked list of technical, on-page and content actions — with effort vs impact so we don’t polish the wrong thing first.

03

Implement

Fixes and optimisations ship in batches. You get plain-English notes on what changed and what to watch in Search Console.

04

Measure & iterate

We review coverage, queries and conversions. Next sprint focuses on the biggest remaining gap — not random busywork.

Fit

Who this is for

A good fit if you…

  • UK business site that needs proper technical + on-page SEO
  • You want deliverables and priorities, not mystery link packages
  • Migrations that must protect existing rankings
  • You’re willing to improve content and offers, not just “do keywords”
  • You can grant Search Console / analytics / CMS access

Not the right fit if you…

  • Guaranteed #1 rankings overnight
  • Spammy bulk link building as the only tactic
  • No website access or content ownership
  • You only want a one-page PDF of “keyword ideas” with no implementation
  • Black-hat schemes that risk a penalty

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is SEO included with a new website?

Foundations ship with every site I build: structure, titles/meta, speed discipline, sitemap and robots. Deeper campaigns, content programmes and local SEO are scoped separately so pricing stays honest.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No honest SEO person should. Rankings depend on competition, content quality, links and Google’s systems. I guarantee transparent work, clear priorities and reporting you can understand.

How long until SEO works?

Some technical wins show in weeks. Competitive keywords usually take months of consistent work. I’ll set expectations based on your niche, not a generic promise.

Do you build backlinks?

I focus on technical health, on-page quality, content and local signals first. Link outreach can be discussed as a separate, ethical activity — never spammy bulk packages.

Can you fix SEO after a site redesign?

Yes. Redirect maps, URL strategy and post-launch monitoring are critical on redesigns and CMS moves. Don’t launch a pretty site that orphans your rankings.

What do you need from me?

Access (CMS, Search Console, analytics), clarity on services/locations, and time for content decisions. SEO fails when nobody owns the words on the page.

Is local SEO different from “normal” SEO?

Local adds GBP, NAP consistency, reviews and location pages on top of solid technical and on-page work. Service businesses often need both.
