What we do

A focused SEO agency plan for Stoke on Trent, built around local search demand, technical quality and the way buyers now compare options through search and AI answers.

Local SEO for the six towns

We build hyper-local strategies that target customers in Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Tunstall, Fenton and Stoke. Your service pages, content and technical structure are optimised to win searches across the towns that matter to your business, not just city-wide terms. Our local SEO work connects your services with the searches buyers are already making.

AI search optimisation

AI-driven search engines need clear, authoritative content to recommend your business. We structure your website data, answer customer questions in detail, and position your brand as the definitive local answer for generative search results and AI overviews. We also shape pages for AI search optimisation, so your offer is easier for answer engines to understand.

Technical SEO and content strategy

We fix the technical issues holding your rankings back, from page speed and mobile performance to crawlability and site structure. Then we map local demand to the service pages that should win it, so your content connects search visibility to enquiries. That is supported by stronger SEO content and technical fixes that help key pages perform.

Our process

A simple route from diagnosis to action, so you know what is changing and why it matters.

2. Map local demand to service pages

We identify the searches customers use across the six towns, then build or strengthen the service pages that should rank for them. Every page is optimised for local relevance and enquiry conversion.

3. Fix technical foundations and optimise for AI

We resolve technical issues, improve site speed and mobile performance, and structure your content so AI search engines can recommend your business with confidence.

Stop losing local enquiries to better-ranked competitors

No vague reports, just practical actions that support growth.

FAQs

Yes, if you serve customers across the six towns. Dedicated service area pages help you rank for town-specific searches like ‘tree surgeon in Burslem’ or ‘training courses in Hanley’. We build these pages with genuine local relevance, not thin content, so they support both rankings and conversions.

AI-driven search engines like Google’s Search Generative Experience and ChatGPT recommend businesses based on clear, authoritative content. If your website doesn’t answer customer questions in detail or isn’t structured properly, AI tools won’t suggest you. We optimise your content and data so you appear in AI-generated answers and recommendations.

Absolutely. Your website and Google Business Profile work together. We align your profile services and categories with customer searches, connect service pages and reviews, and build local content that strengthens both organic and Maps rankings. A strong website improves your prominence and relevance signals.

Start with technical foundations: page speed, mobile performance, crawlability and site structure. If these are weak, new content won’t rank properly. We audit your technical SEO first, fix the issues that matter, then build content on a solid foundation that supports long-term visibility.

We look at three things: the searches customers actually use, the pages currently ranking for them, and where competitors or directories are taking enquiries you should win. We prioritise the opportunities that will bring qualified local demand to your business fastest, not vanity metrics.
