02 What's included

SEO that compounds, not quick tricks that fade.

01

A technical foundation search engines trust

We start with the groundwork Google actually rewards: fast load times, a mobile-first build, clean site structure, proper indexing and no broken links or duplicate pages quietly holding you back. Get this right and everything else works harder.

02

Local SEO that puts you on the map

For a business serving a town or county, local SEO is where the enquiries are. We optimise your Google Business Profile, get your name, address and phone consistent across the web, and target the local search terms your customers actually type, from your county to nearby towns.

03

Keyword and content strategy

We research what your customers search for and where you can realistically win, then build a plan of pages and content around it. No chasing head terms you cannot rank for in year one, just steady progress on the searches that bring real enquiries.

04

On-page SEO done properly

Every page gets the fundamentals: a clear, unique title and description, sensible headings, helpful copy written for people first, internal links and structured data. This is the unglamorous work that quietly moves you up the results, and it pairs naturally with our web design builds.

05

Honest reporting, no vanity metrics

You get plain reports that show what actually matters: rankings for the terms you care about, organic traffic and, most importantly, enquiries. We tell you what is working, what is not, and what we are doing next. No jargon, no cherry-picked numbers.

06

Work that fits the bigger picture

SEO works best alongside the rest of your marketing. We can pair it with Google Ads for quick visibility while SEO builds, or grow an online store that ranks and sells. One team, one plan.

05 Common questions

SEO, answered honestly.

The questions Irish business owners ask us most before they invest in SEO.

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is a long game, not a switch. For most small businesses you start to see movement in three to six months, with the bigger gains building from six months onward as the work compounds. Anyone promising you the top spot in a few weeks is not being straight with you. We set realistic expectations up front and show you steady progress along the way.

Can you guarantee I will rank number one on Google?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's results, so a guaranteed number one is a promise no honest agency can keep. What we can promise is proper, proven work on the things that genuinely influence rankings, realistic targets for your market, and honest reporting so you always know where you stand.

What is local SEO and do I need it?

Local SEO helps you show up when people nearby search for what you offer, in the map results and the local listings. If you serve a town, county or region rather than the whole country, it is usually where your best enquiries come from. It covers your Google Business Profile, consistent business details across the web, reviews and location-focused pages. For most local Irish businesses it is the first place we look. See the areas we cover for how we target local search.

What is actually included in your SEO?

Technical SEO to fix the foundations, on-page work across your key pages, local SEO where it applies, keyword and content strategy, and clear monthly reporting on rankings, traffic and enquiries. We tailor the mix to your business and your budget, and we tell you what we are doing and why. You can see how it fits with the rest of our services.

How much does SEO cost in Ireland?

SEO is usually a monthly investment rather than a one-off, because it is ongoing work. What you pay depends on how competitive your market is and how fast you want to move. We are transparent about pricing and will recommend a level that makes sense for your goals, never a package you do not need. Our cost guide gives a sense of how we price work.

Do I need SEO if I am already running Google Ads?

They do different jobs and work best together. Google Ads buys you visibility today, which is great while SEO builds. SEO earns you visibility that keeps working after you stop paying per click. Many clients run ads for quick wins and SEO for long-term value, and we can manage both as one joined-up plan.
