Most SEO reporting hides behind impressions and average position, so this one reports three numbers instead: where you rank, how much organic traffic you get, and how many leads it turned into.

The problem

Most SEO reports are built to be hard to argue with.

Impressions are up. Average position improved. Visibility score increased. None of that tells you whether the phone rang.

A report that leaves ranking position, organic traffic and leads off the same page is a defence rather than a report.

What most agencies lead with
  • Impressions
  • Average position
  • Visibility score
  • Keywords "in the top 100"
  • Domain authority, a score Google does not use
What you get instead
  • Position for the terms that actually sell
  • Organic traffic to the pages that convert
  • Leads and calls tied back to those pages
  • A log of what changed on the site and when
  • Plain English. No glossary needed

Case study

A penalised site, taken to position one.

The site arrived under a Google manual action with no visibility for the term its whole business depends on. It now sits at position one for that term and brings in close to 200 leads a month. If your own site has been hit, here is how Google penalty recovery works.

Before

No ranking for the core term

How it works

Four steps, and you own the first one.

The audit is yours whether or not you hire me. If someone else can act on it faster, use them.

Audit

Technical crawl, keyword and SERP analysis, and what your competitors rank for that you do not.

Plan

A ranked list of fixes and pages, ordered by what moves commercial terms first, with timelines.

Execute

The work gets done, not handed to your developer as a list. Code, pages and links.

Report

One page a month: position, traffic, leads, and what changed. Good month or bad.

Ways to work

Scoped per site, not sold as a package.

A plumber in one town and a national supplier do not need the same work and do not pay the same, so send the site and you get a scope and a number rather than a discovery call.

What moves the number

One off audit

Full technical and content audit, prioritised. Yours to keep, or to hand to your current agency.

One off

Monthly retainer

Technical, content and links, every month. Three month minimum, because nothing meaningful moves faster than that.

Monthly

Build and rank

A new site built to rank from the first day, then the SEO work that makes it rank.

Build, then monthly

Questions

The four you are probably about to ask

Ask these of any SEO you are considering, because the answers tell you more than the case studies do.

Get a price for your site
What does an SEO agency actually do?

Three things in order, fixing what stops Google indexing and ranking the site, building the pages that match what buyers search for, and earning the links that let those pages compete, with everything after that being the reporting on whether it worked.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can show inside weeks, while competitive commercial terms usually take three to six months, and you will see ranking position move before the leads do, which is why position is reported alongside leads rather than instead of them.

How much does SEO cost?

It is scoped per site rather than sold as a package, since a plumber in one town and a national supplier do not need the same work, and the number is shaped by how competitive your terms are, how much is broken and how many pages you need.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes, the work is remote and clients sit across the UK and internationally, with local SEO for a city abroad working the same way as it does for a UK town, tracked by postcode or zip rather than one average for the area.

A first pass on the three things holding it back and whether they are worth fixing, with no deck and no discovery call booked to book another call.
