Which page fits your situation
Pick the row that describes how you trade; the geography comes next in the town index. Each row says what we set up first, because that is what differs between the situations, not the SEO itself.
| Your situation | Start with | What we set up first | Budget band |
|---|---|---|---|
| One shop, clinic, office or restaurant serving one town | Your city page below, or Local SEO UK | Google Business Profile, one location page, citations and a review process | Local, from £300 a month |
| A tradesperson or home-services firm covering a county or several boroughs | The city page nearest your base | A keyword map of the towns you actually drive to, then pages only for those | Local, priced per location |
| Two to twenty branches across one region or the whole UK | Managed SEO UK, read with your main city page | Per-branch profiles and pages, consistent citations, enquiries reported per branch | Multi-branch from £800; managed from £2,000 |
| A professional firm or B2B company selling nationally with no walk-in trade | SEO Services UK | National keyword map and content plan; local work only for the office postcode | Managed, from £2,000 a month |
| A website that needs rebuilding before local SEO can work | Web Design London · Web Design Manchester | Build scoped from the enquiry path and the local keyword map, so it ranks from launch | Quoted per project |

UK city pages
Find your town or borough
This is the only place on the page where geography is listed, so use it as the lookup. Most searches that reach us name a town or borough rather than a city; find yours and the third column says which page covers it. It is a routing table, not a promise of a page per town: we only build location pages where you genuinely trade.
| Region | Towns and boroughs | Covered on | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| London boroughs | Fulham and Hammersmith, Newham, Harrow, Croydon, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Ealing, Brent, Barnet, Enfield, Bromley, Kingston, Richmond and the City of London | SEO Services London | Each borough has its own map pack; the London page explains how borough pages are scoped |
| Greater Manchester and the North West | Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Wigan; Liverpool, Warrington, Preston, Chester | SEO Services Manchester | Ten councils, ten packs; Merseyside and Lancashire served from the same team |
| West and East Midlands | Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell; Nottingham, Leicester, Derby | SEO Services Birmingham | Birmingham page covers the West Midlands conurbation; East Midlands towns are scoped under it |
| Yorkshire and the North East | Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, York, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Hull; Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough | SEO Services Leeds | Leeds page for West Yorkshire; South Yorkshire and the North East quoted per location |
| Scotland | Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Paisley, East Kilbride, Stirling, Inverness | SEO Services Glasgow | Scottish directories, regulators and terminology, not an England template |
| South West and Wales | Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Exeter, Plymouth; Cardiff, Newport, Swansea | SEO Services Bristol | Welsh-language pages scoped separately where they matter |
| South, East and Northern Ireland | Brighton, Southampton, Portsmouth, Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Norwich, Ipswich; Belfast | Local SEO UK | No city page yet; scoped per location under Local SEO UK with the same process |
Local SEO vs national SEO in the UK
Local and national SEO are different jobs, and the mistake we see most in the UK is paying for a national programme when the customers choose by town, or the reverse. The table shows what each layer covers so you buy the right one; prices are in the pricing table further down.
| Layer | What it covers | Who needs it | How you know it is working | Detail page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local SEO (one location) | Google Business Profile, a city or borough page, UK citations, reviews | Anyone whose customers search “[service] [town]” or “near me” and then visit or call | Map-pack position in your town and calls or direction requests from the profile | Local SEO UK |
| Multi-location managed SEO | The local layer repeated per branch, plus national content, technical and link work | Chains, franchises, multi-office firms | Enquiries per branch, not one blended number | Managed SEO UK |
| eCommerce SEO | Category and product pages, technical fixes, revenue reporting | Retailers and DTC brands shipping UK-wide | Organic revenue by category on google.co.uk | eCommerce SEO UK |
| International SEO from the UK | Keyword maps, hreflang and content per market | Exporters and groups expanding from the UK | Impressions and enquiries by country, not just UK rankings | International SEO UK |
