What the work involves
I work alone and take on a manageable number of clients because of it. Your project is not competing for attention with dozens of others inside an agency workflow. When you contact me, I respond. When we agree on an approach, I carry it out. There is no one between you and the person doing the work.
I'm based in Telford, 15 miles from Shrewsbury, and have worked with businesses across Shropshire for a number of years. All work runs remotely as standard, but for Shrewsbury clients who would prefer to meet in person at any point, that is straightforward to arrange. I know this market in a way that a developer based in a major city typically would not.
Common questions
The first layer is technical, and most businesses don't know there's a problem until I look. A site can appear perfectly functional while quietly underperforming in search: pages that load too slowly to hold attention, content that search engines can't read properly, or basic signals about your business that are either missing or contradicting each other across the site. On a new build, I take care of all of this from the start. On an existing site, I audit first and fix in order of what's causing the most damage.
On-page SEO is about making your content accurate and useful at every level. Page titles that describe what each page actually contains, a logical heading structure, content that reflects the searches your customers are making, and internal links that give the site a sensible structure. For a Shrewsbury business, local signals are particularly important: the area's independent and specialist character means customers often search with local intent, and a site that clearly signals its location and services will outperform one that doesn't. The competition for many Shrewsbury searches is modest enough that well-executed on-page work produces results faster than it would in a larger city.
Google Business Profile is often the most direct route to local visibility for a Shrewsbury business. Map results appear prominently for most service and product searches, and for independent businesses competing against both local competitors and national brands, being visible there matters. Setting GBP up properly means accurate categories, a complete services list, consistent details and regular maintenance. Citation building, getting your business listed correctly across directories and local sites, provides the supporting signals that GBP needs. Because the Shrewsbury search market is less competitive, this work tends to deliver faster and more lasting results.
