Case Study #1

Local Plumbing Company – Birmingham

Challenge: A family‑run plumbing business in Birmingham had an outdated website, an unverified Google Business Profile, and inconsistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across directories. They received only 5–10 calls per month from online sources.

Solution: We optimised their GBP with proper categories, service descriptions, and weekly photos. We fixed citation inconsistencies across 50+ directories, built local service pages (e.g., “Plumber in Edgbaston”, “Emergency Plumber in Sutton Coldfield”), and added schema markup to their website.

Results: Within 5 months, organic traffic increased by 340%, map pack rankings improved from #14 to #3, and monthly calls grew from 8 to over 45 qualified leads. The client now receives consistent bookings without paid ads.

Monthly calls: 8 → 45+
Map pack position: #3 (top 3)
Case Study #2

E‑commerce Store – Manchester

Challenge: A Manchester‑based online fashion retailer had good products but very low organic traffic. Their product pages lacked optimised meta tags, had duplicate content issues, and the site speed was poor (LCP > 4s).

Solution: We conducted a full technical SEO audit, rewrote product descriptions with high‑intent keywords, implemented schema markup (Product, Review, Breadcrumb), fixed duplicate content, and optimised images and caching to improve Core Web Vitals. We also built localised category pages for “fashion in Manchester” and surrounding areas.

Results: After 4 months, organic traffic grew by 210%, product pages started ranking on page 1 for 35+ search terms, and monthly online sales increased by 180%. The site’s LCP improved to under 2.5 seconds.

Organic traffic: +210%
Online sales: +180%
Core Web Vitals: Passed
Case Study #3

Dental Clinic – London

Challenge: A dental clinic in Central London had a slow, non‑mobile‑friendly website and a poorly optimised Google Business Profile. They were losing potential patients to competitors who appeared in the map pack.

Solution: We redesigned their website with a mobile‑first approach, improved page speed, and added local landing pages for each service (e.g., “teeth whitening in Kensington”, “emergency dentist near Soho”). We optimised their GBP with accurate hours, high‑quality photos, and regular posts. We also implemented a review generation strategy that added 35+ new 5‑star reviews.

Results: Within 3 months, the clinic appeared in the top 3 of the local map pack for “dentist London” and “emergency dental care London”. Organic traffic increased by 120%, and new patient bookings rose by 65%. The website’s mobile usability score went from 58 to 98.

Organic traffic: +120%
New patient bookings: +65%
Map pack position: Top 3

Home Renovation Company – Leeds

Another example of how we helped a local service business dominate local search.

Challenge: A home renovation company in Leeds had an old, slow website and almost no organic visibility. They relied entirely on paid ads, which were expensive and inconsistent.

Solution: We rebuilt their website with a focus on local service pages (e.g., “kitchen renovation in Headingley”, “bathroom fitters in Roundhay”), optimised their GBP, and built high‑quality local citations. We also created a content strategy around home improvement FAQs.

Results: After 6 months, organic traffic increased by 280%, the website started generating 20+ qualified leads per month from organic search, and they reduced their ad spend by 40% while maintaining revenue. They now rank on page 1 for 15+ local service keywords.

Organic traffic: +280%
Monthly leads: 0 → 20+
Ad spend reduced: 40%
