SEO built for Market Harborough businesses that need results
Most SEO in Market Harborough 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 with SMEs across Market Harborough and the Harborough district on SEO, PPC and email marketing. Some are local service businesses, others are B2B firms with longer sales cycles. In both cases the aim is the same: more qualified enquiries, not just more traffic.
If you want steady organic growth, clear reporting, and a straight answer when you ask a question, that is what I offer. The full range of SEO services I cover is listed on my services page, alongside specialist work that may apply to your business.
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 crawl and understand your site, it can’t rank it, however good the rest of your SEO is.
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 Market Harborough 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 Market Harborough 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.
SEO in Market Harborough: what the data shows
We recently audited the organic search visibility of 85 businesses across the Harborough district as part of a wider seo study of Leicestershire SMEs.
The findings were striking. 61% of Market Harborough businesses in the study showed no estimated organic traffic from Google at all. 9 in 10 received fewer than 100 estimated visits per month. Not one business in the dataset reached 500 monthly visits from organic search.
The sectors most affected were the ones that dominate the town’s economy: construction, professional services, accountancy, and engineering.
This isn’t a criticism of local businesses — it reflects how competitive and technically demanding search has become, and how little support most small businesses have received in navigating it. The opportunity for businesses that do invest in SEO is significant, precisely because so few competitors have.

OpenIntro
OpenIntro is a curated expert-booking platform that lets founders, operators and investors connect directly with experienced leaders. When they came to us, strong technical fundamentals were missing and search engines were struggling to fully explore the site.

Creative studio • Letterpress printing, Leicestershire

FAQ
Frequently Asked Question?
Read our frequently asked questions about SEO services in Market Harborough
How long does SEO take to work?
Most businesses see meaningful movement in three to six months, with bigger gains building after that. I’ll give you a realistic timeline for your market at the review stage.
Why work with a consultant rather than an agency?
You deal with the person doing the work, from the first call to the monthly report. I’m based in Kibworth, a few miles from Market Harborough, so meeting in person is easy.
Do you manage Google Business Profiles?
Yes. I’ll optimise your GBP listing to help you appear in the Google Map Pack and generate more local calls.
How long do I need to commit for?
It depends on the work. SEO takes a few months to build momentum, so we agree a term at the start, and you’ll know exactly what you’re signing up to before any work begins.
Can you help eCommerce stores in Market Harborough?
Absolutely. My eCommerce SEO services help Shopify and WooCommerce sites increase visibility and sales.
What’s included in your SEO reports?
I provide monthly reports on keyword rankings, traffic, conversions, and ROI – all in plain English.
Do you work with Market Harborough businesses?
Yes. Most of my local work is with SMEs across the Harborough district. I’ve also audited the search visibility of 85 local businesses, so I know where the common gaps are.
Can SEO help my small business in Market Harborough?
Definitely. SEO is one of the most effective ways to sustainably bring in local customers, whether you’re a shop, café, or service provider. PPC can also be effective in the shorter term but they work best when used together.
How do you get to know my market?
I start every engagement by looking at what your customers search for, who ranks for it, and where the gaps are. That shapes the plan, rather than a template.
How do you track progress for Market Harborough clients?
I provide monthly reports with keyword rankings, traffic data, and local performance so you always know how things are going. Data is reliably collected using tools like Google Looker Studio, which also means I can easily share reports that can be accessed from anywhere for no additional cost
What are your favourite spots around Market Harborough?
If I’m not having a pint by the boats at Foxton Locks, you might find me at Mercado Lounge or Cherry Tree, or browsing the independent shops on the high street.
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.
