What We Do

Four Pillars of Effective SEO

Our SEO work is built on four disciplines that work together to improve your visibility in Google search results.

Keyword Research

Find the Words Your Customers Actually Use

Effective SEO starts with understanding exactly what your potential customers are searching for. Our in-depth keyword research uncovers the phrases and questions that Dorset customers type into Google — giving your website the best chance of being found.

On-Page Optimisation

Make Every Page Work Harder for You

On-page SEO is about ensuring each page on your website sends the right signals to search engines. We optimise the elements Google reads most closely — from your page titles and headings to your internal links and image alt text — so every page has the best possible chance of ranking.

Optimised meta titles and descriptions
Heading structure (H1–H4) refinement
Keyword placement and content density
Internal linking strategy
Image alt text and filename optimisation
URL structure and canonical tag setup

Technical SEO

A Website Google Can Crawl and Trust

Even the best content can struggle to rank if your website has underlying technical issues. Our technical SEO work ensures search engine bots can crawl, understand, and index your site correctly — and that users get a fast, smooth experience on every device.

Mobile-first indexing compliance
XML sitemap creation and submission
Robots.txt configuration
Broken link and redirect audits
HTTPS and site security checks

Structured Data

Stand Out in Search Results with Rich Snippets

Structured data (Schema markup) is code added to your website that helps search engines understand your content in detail. This can unlock rich results — star ratings, FAQs, business hours, and more — that make your listing stand out and attract more clicks.

SEO That Understands Dorset

We're based in Bridport and work with businesses across Dorset every day — from tradespeople in Weymouth and Dorchester to hospitality businesses in Beaminster and Sherborne.

Local SEO is different from national SEO. It requires deep keyword research into location-specific search terms, structured data that signals exactly where you operate, and on-page content that genuinely speaks to a Dorset audience.

We combine that local knowledge with technical rigour — so your website doesn't just look good, it performs in search results when local customers are looking for exactly what you offer.

Bridport

Our home town — we know local search intent here inside out.

Dorchester

Competitive local market — we target both county town and surrounding villages.

Weymouth & Portland

Seasonal and tourism-driven search patterns we know well.

Sherborne & North Dorset

Rural and market town SEO for businesses reaching wide catchment areas.

Nationwide

All our technical and on-page work scales to UK-wide campaigns too.

How It Works

Our SEO Process

A clear, structured approach to improving your search rankings

1

Free SEO Audit

We start by reviewing your current website — checking technical health, existing rankings, page structure, and any structured data already in place. You get a clear picture of where you stand before we start.

2

Keyword Research & Opportunity Mapping

We research the search terms your customers use — locally in Dorset and more broadly. We map keywords to pages, identify gaps, and build a content and optimisation plan around real search demand.

3

Technical SEO Fixes

Before optimising content, we make sure the foundations are solid. Site speed, crawlability, mobile performance, redirects, and indexing are all reviewed and improved where needed.

4

On-Page Optimisation

We work through your pages systematically — refining titles, meta descriptions, headings, content, and internal links. Every page is aligned to its target keywords and user intent.

5

Structured Data Implementation

We add and validate Schema markup appropriate to your business — LocalBusiness, FAQ, Service, Review, and more — to maximise your eligibility for rich results in Google.

6

Reporting & Ongoing Refinement

We track rankings, traffic, and conversions, providing clear monthly reports. SEO evolves — we keep your strategy current as Google updates its algorithm and your market shifts.
