🔥 Retainers That Deliver Reports, Not Results
A monthly fee, a monthly PDF full of charts, and rankings that never move. Cheap SEO retainers survive on inertia - by the time you realise nothing's happening, you're a year and thousands of pounds in.

SEO for Small Businesses, Without the Wasted Retainer
Here's the honest truth about small business SEO: you don't need everything. You need the five or six things that matter most for a business of your size in your market - done properly, in the right order, by someone who knows which five or six things they are.
That's what I offer - the same 80/20 approach I've written about for Wix's SEO Hub, focused on the parts of your site where the effort actually pays off. Instead of a bloated monthly retainer, most of my small business work starts with a focused audit and a prioritised roadmap in plain English. You'll know exactly what's holding you back, what it's worth fixing, and what you can safely ignore. Then you choose: implement it yourself with my roadmap, or have me handle it.
It's the same expertise that £1B+ enterprises pay for, scaled to what a small business actually needs.

Where Small Business SEO Budgets Get Wasted
Most small businesses that come to me have been burned before, and the pattern is almost always the same.
🧩 Doing a Bit of Everything, Mastering Nothing
A blog post here, a few directory listings there, some social posts - activity spread so thin that none of it ever reaches the point where it works. With a small budget, doing a few things properly beats doing a bit of everything.
👻 Advice From People Who've Never Ranked Anything
The small business end of the market attracts the industry's least experienced operators, because the clients rarely know enough to check. You deserve better than being someone's training ground.
What do my small business SEO services involve?
Focused SEO Audit
A practical review of your website, rankings and competitors - what's broken, what's missing, what it's worth.
Prioritised Roadmap
A plain-English plan ordered by impact and effort, that you or I can execute - no jargon, no padding.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile, reviews and local landing pages for businesses that serve a local area.
Content That Converts
The handful of pages that actually win customers for a small business, written and optimised properly.
Technical Essentials
Speed, indexing and structure issues fixed - the foundations, without the enterprise-level extras you don't need.
Training & Handover
Learn to run the routine parts yourself and keep your costs down.
Is Professional SEO Affordable for a Small Business?
Cheaper than the alternative. "Affordable SEO" providers charging a few hundred pounds a month have to cut corners somewhere - I've audited the aftermath of enough of them to know what that looks like. Meanwhile every month your competitors outrank you, they're taking customers you never see.
My model keeps senior work within small business reach: a one-off audit and roadmap you can act on immediately, optional implementation where it counts, and training so your team can own the routine work. You invest where the impact is, and nowhere else.
Small Business SEO FAQ
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
With me, it starts with a one-off audit and roadmap rather than an open-ended retainer - you'll know the full cost before we begin. From there, implementation is scoped around the priorities that matter for your business, so you're never paying for activity that doesn't move the needle.
Do you offer small business SEO packages?
Not fixed packages - every small business market is different, and packages force the same work on everyone. What I offer instead is a fixed-price audit and roadmap, then clearly scoped follow-on work. You get certainty on cost without paying for filler.
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
If your customers search for what you do, yes - it's usually the highest-return channel available, because it compounds while paid ads stop the moment you stop paying. If SEO genuinely isn't the right channel for your business, the audit will say so and I'll tell you where to spend instead.
Can I do SEO myself with your roadmap?
Absolutely - that's the point of it. The roadmap is written in plain English with priorities and instructions, and plenty of clients implement it themselves or with their web developer. My training sessions can take that further if you want to build the skills in-house.
How long until a small business sees SEO results?
Local and low-competition wins often show inside 2 to 3 months; competitive keywords take longer. Because the roadmap is ordered by impact and effort, the quick wins land early - which usually funds the patience the bigger wins need.
