SEO services in Lichfield
I am an SEO consultant based in Lichfield. You deal with the person doing the work, the report shows rankings, traffic and leads, and if you want to sit down and go through it, I am a short drive away.
In a high competition niche, on a site rebuilt after a Google manual action.
The number that matters, and the one the report leads with.
No account manager relaying messages to someone you never meet.
How Lichfield search works
Most local searches are decided before anyone scrolls
When someone in Lichfield searches for a plumber, an accountant or a clinic, Google shows a map with three businesses on it before any normal results. Those three get most of the calls. Which three appear depends on how relevant your Business Profile is, how close the searcher is standing, and how established your business looks to Google.
Lichfield adds a wrinkle. It is a small city ringed by villages and bigger neighbours, so the same search from Burntwood, Fradley or Whittington returns a different map, and plenty of people searching for a Lichfield service are being shown firms from Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield or Birmingham. Ranking here means being visible across that whole patch, not just the city centre.
What Lichfield businesses get
The work depends on the audit, but most local engagements cover these. Each one shows up in the proposal with hours against it.
How local SEO is run- Google Business Profile rebuilt: categories, services, photos and posts set up to match what people actually search
- Map pack positions tracked across Lichfield and the surrounding postcodes, not from one spot
- A review flow your customers will actually use, because review count and recency move the map
- Citations cleaned so your name, phone and area match everywhere they appear
- Service and location pages written for the searches that bring in work, not for the homepage
- Technical fixes made in the code: speed, indexing, structured data, the things that quietly cap rankings

How much does SEO cost for a Lichfield business?
It is scoped per site rather than sold as a package, because a café competing for one map pack needs far less than a firm competing across the West Midlands. The audit is free and tells you the number before you commit. Work runs as a monthly retainer with a three month minimum.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I am based in Lichfield, so meeting face to face anywhere in the district or nearby is easy to arrange. Most of the work itself happens remotely, and the monthly report is written so you do not need a call to understand it.
How long does local SEO take to show results in Lichfield?
Fixes to a Google Business Profile and on page targeting often move map pack positions within four to eight weeks. Competitive organic terms take longer, usually three to six months, and depend on how much authority the sites above you have.
Do you only work with Lichfield businesses?
No. I work with clients across the UK and abroad. Being local simply means Lichfield businesses get someone who knows the area and can sit down with them.
Will you get us into the Google Maps results?
Map pack position depends on three things: how relevant your profile is, how close the searcher is, and how prominent your business looks to Google through reviews, links and citations. I work on relevance and prominence, which are the two you can change, and I track the result by postcode so you see where you show and where you do not.
