SEO from someone who lives and works in Manchester
I'm based in Prestwich, a few miles north of the city centre, and I help businesses across Greater Manchester get found on Google. Most of my clients hire out bouncy castles, marquees and other event kit, but I also work with trades, shops and service firms closer to home.
When you work with me, you deal with me. I plan the pages, write the content, build the links and report back, so there's no account manager passing messages along and no junior staff learning on your budget.
What I can do for a Manchester business
- Local SEO: a Google Business Profile that's complete and active, consistent business details across the web, and a steady flow of genuine reviews.
- Area pages: pages for the boroughs and towns you actually serve, written about those places rather than copied with the name swapped.
- Content writing: service pages, product pages, FAQs and guides that answer what your customers ask before they pick up the phone.
- Link building: relevant links from local and industry sites that make sense for your business.
- Technical checks: fixing the things that hold a site back, such as slow pages, broken links, missing titles and pages Google can't find.
Covering the whole of Greater Manchester
Customers search by place, so the towns you cover matter as much as what you do. A typical plan might include pages for:
| Area | Places customers search for |
|---|---|
| North | Prestwich, Whitefield, Bury, Radcliffe, Rochdale, Heywood |
| West | Bolton, Wigan, Leigh, Salford, Eccles, Worsley |
| South | Stockport, Sale, Altrincham, Didsbury, Chorlton, Stretford |
| East | Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Hyde, Denton |
| City | Manchester city centre, Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Salford Quays |
I don't build pages for places you don't serve. Pages for areas you can't deliver to bring the wrong enquiries and can look like spam to Google.
Meeting up
If you're nearby and would rather talk in person, I'm happy to meet for a coffee in north Manchester. Otherwise email works just as well. Plenty of my clients are in Ireland, Scotland and the US, and we've never met.
Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with hire businesses?
No. Hire businesses are my speciality, but the same approach works for any local business that relies on people searching for a service in their area.
How long does SEO take to work?
It depends on how competitive your searches are and where your site starts from. Small fixes and Google Business Profile improvements can help within weeks. New pages and links usually take a few months to show their full effect.
Do I need to be based in Manchester to work with you?
Not at all. I work with businesses across the UK, Ireland and the US. Being local just makes it easier if you'd like to meet.
