What My SEO Service Includes

Ranking on Google isn’t one silver bullet. It’s dozens of small, evidence-based things working together across technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content, local signals and backlinks. My service covers the full picture across West Sussex. For the detailed checklist, see my local SEO checklist.

Technical SEO Audit & Fixes

Full technical SEO audit covering crawl errors, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, broken links, redirect chains, schema markup and XML sitemaps. Fixing the technical foundation makes everything that follows work harder.

Keyword Research & Search Intent

I research the exact commercial and informational queries your West Sussex customers are using — including service + location variations and long-tail terms. You get a prioritised keyword map matched to specific pages on your site, with search volume, keyword difficulty and search intent.

On-Page SEO Optimisation

Page titles, meta descriptions, H1/H2 structure, internal linking, image alt text, schema markup, canonical tags and semantic keyword coverage — all tuned to your target rankings. I rewrite pages myself rather than handing over PDFs of recommendations.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

For most West Sussex businesses, local SEO is the biggest lever. I optimise your Google Business Profile, build local citations, fix NAP inconsistencies, earn reviews, and create location-specific content that wins local pack and map results.

Content Strategy & Topic Clusters

Rankings follow useful content. I plan topic clusters around your core commercial services, write blog posts that target specific queries with clear search intent, and make sure every piece internally links back to the pages that drive enquiries.

Monthly Reporting

Plain-English monthly reports showing exactly what I’ve done, what’s working, what’s moved in rankings, traffic trends and what’s planned next. No vanity metrics — just the numbers that matter.

SEO West Sussex — FAQs

How long does SEO take to work?

Expect meaningful local SEO results in 3–6 months, and 6–12 months for competitive national terms. Anyone promising page-one in weeks is either targeting zero-competition keywords or being dishonest.

How much does SEO cost in West Sussex?

My SEO packages start at £250/mo for Local SEO Starter, £500/mo for Growth, and £1,000/mo for Premium. One-off audits are £295. Most West Sussex small businesses sit on the Growth plan.

Which towns do you cover in West Sussex?

I cover every town in West Sussex remotely. Dedicated SEO pages available for: Worthing, Crawley, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Hassocks, East Grinstead, Arundel, Hove, Goring-by-Sea. If your area isn’t listed, get in touch for a quote.

Do I need ongoing SEO or can I do a one-off project?

One-off audits get solid initial wins. But SEO is fundamentally ongoing — a static site optimised 12 months ago will lose ground to competitors still investing. Monthly retainers compound.

Is SEO still worth it in 2026 with AI search?

Yes. AI Overviews pull from the same pages that rank in traditional search — being optimised for Google is still the foundation for being visible in AI results too. What’s changed: rankings now reward genuine expertise, entity authority and well-structured content.

Do you work with businesses outside West Sussex?

Yes — my SEO service is UK-wide. Based in Brighton, I support clients across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and beyond. All work is delivered remotely, so location is no barrier.
