What Is SEO?

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher on search engines like Google.

It’s about making sure people in your local area can find you when they need you. That means showing up for searches like:

  • beauty salon Dunfermline

  • builders Fife

  • best local plumber Kirkcaldy

 

When your customers search, you want your business to appear on page one. That’s what SEO delivers.

How often should my website be updated for SEO?

+
How do backlinks help my SEO?

Backlinks are links from other reputable websites pointing to yours. They act as “votes of confidence” for search engines, signalling that your site is trustworthy and authoritative. We help develop a sustainable link-building strategy to improve your site’s credibility.

+
What is a Google Business Profile and why is it important?

Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is what appears in local search results and Google Maps. Optimising it helps your business show up when customers search for services “near me.” We ensure your profile is complete, accurate, and appealing to local customers.

+
How do you choose the right keywords for my business?

We conduct detailed keyword research using industry tools and local data. We focus on search terms your customers actually use in your area, balancing high-volume, competitive keywords with long-tail phrases that are easier to rank for and often lead to higher conversions.

+
Do you provide SEO for e-commerce websites?

Yes! We can optimise e-commerce sites to improve product page rankings, drive organic traffic, and increase sales. Our e-commerce SEO includes optimising product descriptions, images, categories, site structure, and technical elements for better visibility in search results.

+
What is the difference between on-page and off-page SEO?

On-page SEO involves optimising elements on your website, such as titles, meta descriptions, headings, content, images, and internal links. Off-page SEO focuses on external factors like backlinks from other sites, social signals, and brand mentions that boost your site’s authority and rankings.

+
Do I need SEO if I already run Google Ads?

Yes! Google Ads provide instant visibility, while SEO builds long-term, organic traffic. The most effective marketing strategies use both: Google Ads for quick results and SEO for sustainable, cost-effective growth.

+
Can you guarantee #1 rankings on Google?

No reputable SEO provider can guarantee #1 rankings for every search. Search results depend on many factors, including competition and algorithm updates. We focus on ethical, effective strategies that improve visibility and deliver sustainable results.

+
How much do SEO services cost?

Our SEO pricing is flexible, depending on the size of your website and the level of service you need. We offer affordable options for small businesses and always provide clear, transparent quotes with no hidden fees.

What is SEO and why does my business need it?
