SEO built for Leicestershire businesses that need results
Most SEO in Leicester is sold by an agency with a sales team out front and juniors doing the work behind them. That is not how I operate. You get someone who has spent two decades in B2B marketing, including four years as a group marketing director, on your account from day one.
I work mostly with manufacturers, engineers, construction firms and professional services businesses across Leicester and the wider East Midlands. These are sectors with long buying cycles and specific audiences, where generic SEO advice falls flat. I know how to reach a technical buyer, because I have done it for years.
If you want steady organic growth, clear reporting, and a straight answer when you ask a question, that is what I offer. You can see the full range of SEO services I offer across the East Midlands.
My SEO services
Good SEO is not one thing. It is several disciplines working together.
Here is what each one does for your business.
On-page SEO
Every page on your site should be built around a term someone in your market is actually searching for, then structured to earn its place in the results.
Technical SEO
Site speed, crawlability, indexation and structured data — the foundations that let everything else work. If Google can’t understand your site, your Leicester competitors who’ve fixed theirs will outrank you.
Content Marketing
Content that does more than fill a blog. I create search-led content around the questions your customers are actually asking, mapped to the terms they use and structured to rank.
Link Building & PR
Credible, earned backlinks that build real domain authority. For competitive terms, the strength of your link profile is often what separates page one from page two.
Local SEO
Map pack rankings, Google Business Profile optimisation and the local signals behind “near me” searches. For most Leicester businesses, this is where the enquiries come from.
GEO / AI Search
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews now answer questions your buyers used to Google. I help businesses get cited in those answers.
I also work on ecommerce SEO, international SEO, site migrations and content hub strategy – speak to me if any of these apply to your business.
How I work
Here is how an SEO engagement with me runs.
1.
Free review
We start with a no-obligation look at your site and where you stand against your Leicester competitors. It is high-level, enough for you to see the opportunity and decide whether to go further. No cost.
2.
Proposal
If it is a fit, I build a proposal around your goals: the priorities, the plan, and what it costs. Where a full audit is the right first step, that is paid work in its own right, and I will tell you so upfront.
3.
A conversation
We talk it through, in person, by video or by phone. You ask the awkward questions. I give you straight answers.
4.
The work begins
Once we agree, I get to work. You get a single point of contact and monthly reporting you can actually read, built in Google Looker Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions
SEO in Leicester: common questions
How much does SEO cost in Leicester?
It varies with the size of your site and how competitive your market is. My local packages start at £125 a month for a self-service option and £450 for full-service, with national packages from £800. You can see the full breakdown on my seo packages page. The key thing is you will always know the price upfront, with no hidden retainers.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is a medium-term investment, not an overnight fix. Most businesses start to see meaningful movement in three to six months, with the bigger gains compounding after that. Anyone promising you page one in a fortnight is either misinformed or not being honest. I will give you a realistic timeline for your specific market at the review stage.
Do I need to be based in Leicester to work with you?
No. I work with businesses across Leicester, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands, and I take on national clients too. Most of the work happens remotely, and we can meet in person, by video or on the phone, whatever suits you.
Will I work with you directly, or an account manager?
You work with me. I am a one-person consultancy by design, so the person you speak to at the start is the person doing the work throughout. Nothing gets handed to a junior.
What makes you different from an SEO agency?
I am a qualified marketer with over 20 years in B2B, not a technician who only knows one channel. That means I look at SEO as part of your wider commercial picture, your buyers, your pipeline, your margins, rather than just chasing rankings for their own sake.
Do you offer one-off SEO audits?
Yes. You can commission a standalone audit as a piece of work in its own right, without an ongoing commitment. It gives you a clear, prioritised list of what to fix, whether or not you go on to work with me afterwards.
Should I choose an SEO consultant or an agency?
It depends on what you need. An SEO consultant typically means lower overheads and direct access to the person doing the work. A larger SEO agency can offer more resource at scale. For most Leicester SMEs looking for professional SEO without agency overheads, a specialist consultancy is the more practical choice. That is what I offer.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. Small business SEO is the core of what I do. Most of my clients are SMEs across Leicester and the East Midlands: manufacturers, professional services firms, and growing businesses that want an SEO marketing service done properly without a large agency price tag. If you run a small business and want to know whether SEO is worth it for you, start with a free review.
Why work with me?
I am a CIM-qualified marketer with over 20 years in B2B, not a technician who learned one channel. That means I look at SEO as part of your wider commercial picture – your sales pipeline, your buyers, your margins – rather than chasing rankings for their own sake.
You work with me directly, from the first conversation to the monthly report. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior doing the work while a senior takes the credit.
My background is in manufacturing, engineering and technical businesses. I know how to reach a specialist buyer because I spent years doing it in-house, not because I read about it.
If something is working, I will tell you. If it is not, I will tell you that too.
Ready to get found in Leicester?
If your business is not showing up when Leicester customers search for what you do, that is lost revenue every month. Let me fix it.
Start with a free, no-obligation review. I will look at where you stand, where the opportunity is, and give you a straight answer on whether SEO is worth it for you.
