Frequently asked

Do you work with businesses based outside Leeds city centre?

Yes — most of our Leeds-area clients aren't in the exact town centre. Local SEO works on service-area radius, not a postcode boundary.

Are you actually based in Leeds?

No, and we'd rather say so plainly than imply an office we don't have. We're a Manchester agency working with Leeds businesses remotely. That has no bearing on ranking your site in Leeds — local ranking depends on your Google Business Profile, your citations and your site, none of which are affected by where your agency sits. If you specifically want someone who can visit in person, a Leeds-based agency is the better fit and we'll say so.

Is the audit really free for a single location?

Yes, no card details and no obligation to continue afterwards — the same audit we run for every enquiry.

How competitive is SEO in Leeds?

It varies far more by industry than by town — a solicitor and a plumber in Leeds face completely different competitive sets. Rather than quote you a headline difficulty score that means little on its own, the free audit pulls the live figures for the exact searches your customers use.

What makes SEO in Leeds different from a nationwide campaign?

Leeds has a dense professional-services and tech sector where buyers research thoroughly before enquiring, which rewards depth of content over volume of pages.

Do I need a Leeds address to rank for Leeds searches?

Not necessarily a registered address, but a genuine service-area presence matters — Google's local algorithm weighs proximity and relevance, and a Google Business Profile with a defined service area covers a real Leeds presence without needing office space there.

How long before a Leeds business sees ranking movement?

Technical fixes can show within weeks; competitive commercial terms realistically take six to twelve months. Lower-competition local terms move considerably faster than national ones. We'll give you a timeline based on your actual starting point in the audit, not a generic promise.

Do you meet clients in person or only remotely?

We're based in Manchester, so Leeds clients work with us remotely — calls, shared reporting and screen-shares. The audit, the strategy and the reporting are identical either way; the only thing you lose is the option of us sitting in your office, which most clients never use.

What size businesses do you work with?

From single-location independents to multi-site operators — the audit and the plan scale to what your site and market actually need, not a one-size package.

Can you help if I've been burned by an agency before?

It's common — a lot of poor SEO work looks fine until you check what was actually done. The free audit is a genuine second opinion you can run yourself before trusting anyone with a retainer again.

Do you only do SEO, or also PPC and web design?

SEO and PPC (see our SEO + PPC service) — we don't build websites, so if a full rebuild turns out to be the right call we'll say so plainly rather than upselling one.

How do I get started?

Run the free audit on your site, or book a strategy call directly — either way, nothing is quoted or sold before we've actually looked at your specific Leeds market.
