Bedfordshire Digital Marketing & SEO Services
Let’s not mess about — if you’re running a business in Nottinghamshire and wondering why you’re not getting more leads or sales online, it probably comes down to one simple thing: people aren’t finding you.
And no, it’s not because you’ve got a bad product or your prices are too high. It’s because when people go on Google and search for what you offer, you’re not there. Or if you are, you’re buried on page 4 where no one ever looks.
That’s where SEO comes in.

Now, I know what you might be thinking — “Isn’t SEO a bit old hat now?” Not even close. Search engine optimisation is still one of the most powerful things you can do for your business, especially if you want long-term visibility and leads coming in without having to constantly throw money at ads.
And if you’re based in Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark, or anywhere else across the county, SEO matters just as much here as it does anywhere else in the country. People are searching — every day, every hour — and someone’s showing up. Why shouldn’t it be you?
So, what exactly is SEO?
Let’s strip it back. SEO is about getting your website to appear in Google (and Bing, if anyone’s still using it) when people type in stuff related to what you do. Not vague traffic, not random visitors from across the world — we’re talking about actual potential customers, searching for exactly what you sell.
If you’re a roofer in Nottingham and someone types in “roof repairs Nottingham”, you want to be the first thing they see — not your competitor down the road who sorted out their SEO five years ago and has been sitting at the top ever since.
That’s what we do. We get you seen. Properly.
Local SEO in Nottinghamshire
Local SEO’s where it really starts to matter for small and medium businesses. If you serve a specific town or region — say you’re a plumber in Mansfield or a hairdresser in Arnold — you don’t need to rank nationwide. You just need to dominate your patch.
Google’s smart now. It knows where people are and tries to show them nearby businesses that actually make sense. That little map with the three listings underneath? That’s the local pack, and it’s gold dust. Getting into that pack can be the difference between steady enquiries and total silence.
We do that by:
- Optimising your Google Business Profile
- Getting your business listed (correctly) in local directories
- Helping you collect and respond to customer reviews
- Writing location-based content (yes, the actual towns matter)
- Making sure your website has all the right signals
If you want your business to show up when someone nearby searches “best [your trade] near me”, this is how you do it.

What good SEO actually looks like
SEO isn’t one big thing. It’s a load of smaller things all working together. Here’s how we break it down:
Keyword Research – This is where it starts. You’ve got to know what your customers are searching for. It’s not always what you expect. A cleaning company might assume people search for “domestic cleaning services”, when actually it’s “house cleaners near me” or “deep clean Nottingham”.
We do the digging, look at the data, and make sure we’re targeting keywords that people are actually using — and that bring in customers, not just clicks.
On-Page Optimisation – This is about making sure each page on your site is clearly focused on a specific topic or service. Proper titles, headers, meta descriptions, and copy that includes the keywords in a natural way — not robotic nonsense.
We also check that your pages load quickly, are easy to use on mobile, and don’t look like they were built in 2008.
Technical SEO – The behind-the-scenes stuff that most people ignore — but Google doesn’t. Site speed, broken links, crawlability, SSL certificates, structured URLs. All the boring-sounding bits that can quietly ruin your rankings if they’re not right.
We fix all that. No drama.
Content
This is a big one. Content still runs the show when it comes to SEO. Not just random blog posts about irrelevant topics — we’re talking useful, targeted, well-written pages that actually help your customers.
Things like:
- FAQs people are already Googling
- Guides that explain what you do and how it works
- Location pages if you serve multiple towns
- Articles that give real value, not just tick boxes
Good content ranks. Great content brings in sales.
Backlink Building – Google sees backlinks as proof that your site’s trustworthy. But not all backlinks are equal. Ten decent links from respected sites are better than a thousand dodgy ones from spammy directories.
We help you earn proper backlinks the right way — local mentions, industry sites, press features, guest content. Real links from real places that actually move the needle.
UX (User Experience) – Google’s smart enough now to know if people are landing on your site and then clicking straight off again. That’s a red flag. So we make sure your site is easy to use, quick to load, and doesn’t confuse the life out of people.
Simple layout, clear calls to action, and a good experience across desktop and mobile. You want visitors sticking around, not bouncing straight back to search.
Internal Linking – Linking between your own pages helps Google figure out your site structure and keeps visitors moving through your content. We tidy it up and build logical pathways that help both users and search engines.
Sounds basic, but it works.
Schema Markup – Schema helps search engines understand what your content actually is. It also adds those little extras in search results — reviews, star ratings, opening hours, and so on. Not essential, but it can help you stand out.
We add this behind the scenes. One of those quiet wins.
Analytics and Monitoring – If you’re not tracking results, you’re just guessing. We use real data to see what’s working, what’s not, and what needs improving. Rankings, traffic, enquiries — it’s all measured. No mystery. No fluff.
PPC – When you want leads right now
Now don’t get me wrong — SEO is brilliant, but it takes time. If you need results yesterday, PPC (pay-per-click) is your best friend. Google Ads done properly can bring in leads within hours. Done badly, it’ll burn through your budget like no tomorrow.
We do PPC properly:
- Targeted keywords that convert
- Smart bidding strategies
- Ad copy that actually gets clicks
- Landing pages that match the message
- Proper tracking so we know what’s working
If you’ve tried ads before and got nothing but empty clicks, we can almost guarantee it was down to poor targeting or a bad setup. We fix that. Reach out for a no-pressure chat on 01282 452096 or [email protected].
