FAQ
What is SEO and why does my Tynemouth business need it?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results like Google. For Tynemouth businesses, local SEO is crucial because it helps you appear when potential customers search for services in your area. Without SEO, your website may be invisible to people actively looking for what you offer, meaning you're losing customers to competitors who rank higher.
How long does it take to see SEO results?
SEO is a long-term strategy, and results typically appear within 3-6 months, though some improvements can be seen sooner. Factors affecting timeline include your industry competition, current website status, and the keywords you're targeting. Local SEO for Tynemouth businesses often shows faster results than competing nationally, especially for well-optimized Google Business Profiles.
How much do your SEO services cost?
SEO pricing varies based on your specific needs and goals. I offer flexible packages designed for small businesses and solopreneurs, not large enterprises. Services can range from one-time audits and consulting sessions to ongoing monthly optimization. Book a free discovery call to discuss your business and get a custom quote that fits your budget.
Do you only work with businesses in Tynemouth?
No! While I have particular expertise with businesses in Tynemouth, North Shields, Whitley Bay, and the North Tyneside area, I work with clients anywhere. All services are delivered online, so location isn't a barrier. My local knowledge is an advantage for North East businesses, but my SEO strategies work for businesses across the UK and beyond.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on optimizing your online presence to attract customers in a specific geographic area. It includes optimizing your Google Business Profile, managing local citations, targeting location-specific keywords, and encouraging customer reviews. Regular SEO focuses on ranking for broader, non-location-specific terms. For Tynemouth businesses serving local customers, local SEO typically provides better ROI.
Can you guarantee first page rankings on Google?
No ethical SEO specialist can guarantee specific rankings, as Google's algorithm is complex and constantly changing. What I can guarantee is that I'll use proven, white-hat SEO techniques to improve your visibility, drive more relevant traffic, and position your business competitively in search results. My focus is on sustainable, long-term growth rather than risky shortcuts.
Do you offer SEO training for business owners who want to learn?
Yes! I offer one-on-one SEO training and consulting sessions where I teach you the fundamentals of SEO and help you develop a strategy you can implement yourself. This is ideal for solopreneurs and small business owners who want to build their SEO knowledge and take control of their online presence. Sessions are tailored to your skill level and business needs.
