Want in on a secret? Search engine optimisation isn’t going anywhere. For decades, it’s death has been greatly exaggerated. In fact, it’s just as strong and important today as it was 10 years ago. That’s especially true if you’re running a business in Norfolk and you can’t get traction.
So, what exactly is SEO – search engine optimisation? In its simplest terms, it’s optimising your website so that it’s easily found on Google and other search engines, like Bing. To get a little bit more in detail, it’s where you optimise a website around specific keywords and themes so that you appear when people search for them. An easy example is cakes. If you sell birthday cakes and wedding cakes, you want to be on Page 1 of Google, ideally at the top of page 1, when people search ‘where to buy wedding cakes’ ‘best birthday cakes’, etc.

Why does all this matter? It matters because if you’re in the business of cakes and you’re not showing when people search for them, your competitors certainly are. That means money – or cake, if you will – for them and not you.

What Does Good SEO Look Like?
SEO isn’t one thing. It’s not a single switch you flip on and magically start ranking. Good SEO is layered, strategic, and done properly, it can take your business from the shadows of Page 5 to proudly sitting at the top of Page 1. Here’s what’s actually involved:
Keyword Research – This is the bit where we figure out exactly what people are typing into Google when they’re looking for your service — not what you think they’re typing, but what they actually are. It’s a mix of data, intuition, and a nose for commercial intent. We go after keywords with the right mix of traffic, buyer intent and achievability — not vanity phrases no one’s searching.
On-Page Optimisation – Once we know what people are searching, we optimise the pages of your site to reflect that — page titles, headings, image names, metadata, the works. Not in a spammy, robotic way either. Proper, well-structured, useful pages that read like a human wrote them (because they did).
Technical SEO – This is the under-the-bonnet stuff — site speed, mobile responsiveness, crawling, indexing, and fixing all those pesky 404 errors you didn’t even know were there. If your website feels like it was built on dial-up, Google’s not going to be your biggest fan. We sort it.
Content – Good content is the lifeblood of SEO. Not just blogs for the sake of blogs, but helpful, well-written pages that position you as the expert in your space. Whether it’s a service page, a location page, or an in-depth article, it should answer your customers’ questions and give Google something solid to chew on.
Backlink Building – This is where authority comes into play. Google sees backlinks — links from other websites to yours — as a vote of confidence. But not all backlinks are equal. Ten high-quality links from respected sites are worth more than 10,000 spammy ones from dodgy directories. We focus on quality over quantity, always.
UX (User Experience) – If your site looks like it was built in 2009 and takes seven seconds to load, people are going to bounce. Google notices that. So we help make sure your site is clean, easy to navigate, mobile-friendly and pleasant to use. Because a good experience keeps people around, and that’s good for rankings.
Internal Linking Structure – Think of this like giving Google a map of your website. Internal links help search engines understand which pages matter most and how your content connects. Done right, it also helps visitors find what they’re looking for faster — which is exactly what Google wants.
Schema – This one sounds techy but it’s basically structured data — little bits of code that help search engines understand your site better. Schema can lead to rich results like star ratings, product details, and FAQs right there in search results. It’s subtle, powerful, and often overlooked. We don’t overlook it.
Local SEO – If you serve a specific area, like Norfolk, this one’s essential. It means optimising your site and presence across the web so that you show up when someone nearby is searching. It’s part technical, part content, part review management. And yes, it works — when done properly.
Analytics and Monitoring – Once you’re up and running, we don’t just disappear. We track everything — rankings, traffic, conversions, bounce rates, the lot. It tells us what’s working, what needs tweaking, and where the biggest opportunities are. You’ll always know what’s going on with your campaign, in plain English.
The Pitfalls of Doing it Yourself
Look, we love a bit of DIY. We’re not going to judge you for wanting to take a crack at your own SEO. But here’s the honest truth: SEO is the sort of thing that looks deceptively easy… right up until you realise it isn’t.
Here’s where most people go wrong:
- Chasing the wrong keywords – You go after terms like “cheap cake” because it sounds good, only to realise later it brings in time-wasters, not buyers.
- Overusing keywords – You’ve heard of keyword stuffing, right? It’s when every sentence sounds like: “For birthday cakes in Norfolk, our Norfolk birthday cake business bakes the best birthday cakes in Norfolk.” Google hates it. So do humans.
- Buying dodgy backlinks – We’ve seen businesses wiped out of search results for this. If someone offers you thousands of backlinks for pennies, it’s a scam. And it can take months to clean up the mess.
- Ignoring the technical side – Slow loading times, broken links, and poor mobile usability will quietly destroy your rankings while you’re scratching your head wondering what went wrong.
- Not tracking anything – If you’re not using tools to monitor your traffic, keyword positions, or conversions, you’re basically flying blind.
SEO isn’t just about getting found. It’s about getting found by the right people, for the right things, and turning them into customers. If you don’t know how to do that (yet), it’s probably smarter — and cheaper in the long run — to work with someone who does.
Why Us?
Because we live and breathe this stuff. We don’t follow cookie-cutter templates or outsource your campaign to someone who’s never heard of Norfolk, let alone knows the difference between Dereham and Diss.
We actually care whether your phone rings. We want to see more sales coming in. More leads in your inbox. More customers walking through your door. And unlike some agencies, we’ll never bombard you with jargon to hide behind mediocre results. If something’s working, you’ll know. If something’s not, we’ll fix it.
We treat every client like they’re our only client. Which means if we’re working with a bakery in Cromer or a roofing company in Thetford, you’re getting a bespoke SEO strategy tailored around your market, your keywords, and your goals — not just generic advice lifted from a blog written in 2013.
