Why Choose a Local SEO Consultancy in Shropshire?
Working with a Shropshire-based SEO consultancy means you get someone who understands the local market, not a distant agency treating you like a number.
Based in Telford, I work directly with business owners across Shropshire and the wider West Midlands who want clarity, not jargon.

If you’re based in Telford, Shrewsbury, or anywhere in Shropshire and want an SEO partner who genuinely understands your market, let’s talk.
What ‘Foundational SEO’ Really Means for Your Business
This isn’t about gaming Google or chasing quick wins. Foundational SEO is about giving your business a solid base for long-term search visibility – whether you’re just getting started or fixing what’s been holding you back.
My approach to SEO foundations for small businesses centres on:
- Technical clarity: Fixing site speed, crawlability issues, and structural problems that hold your site back from ranking
- Content relevance: Creating or optimising pages that match what your customers actually search for (not what you think they search for)
- Strategic keyword targeting: Focusing on keywords you can realistically rank for, rather than impossible broad terms
- Site structure and user experience (UX): Helping both people and search engines navigate your site with ease, improving dwell time and reducing bounce rates
- Realistic growth planning: Matching SEO effort to your capacity and goals, whether that’s a one-off project or ongoing monthly support
This service is built for SMEs in Telford, Shropshire and across the UK who are tired of second-guessing their SEO and ready to build something sustainable. If you’ve been burned by agencies making unrealistic promises, I offer a different approach: honest, strategic, and grounded in what actually works.
Is This SEO Service Right For You?
My SEO foundations and ongoing support services are ideal if:
- You’re a small or medium business owner in the UK looking for sustainable growth
- You’re based in Telford, Shropshire or the West Midlands and want local expertise
- You’re unsure if your current SEO setup is helping or hurting you
- You want a clear, jargon-free explanation of what’s holding you back
- You’re ready to build visibility the right way — with focus and intention
- You want the option of ongoing SEO support rather than just a one off audit
- You prefer working directly with a consultant, not a large agency
Not right for you if:
- You’re looking for guaranteed #1 rankings (no honest consultant offers this)
- You want instant results (SEO takes 3-6 months to show meaningful impact)
- You’re not willing to invest time in understanding the strategy
If you’re a Shropshire SME ready to invest in sustainable SEO, not just quick fixes, I’m ready when you are.

FAQs: SEO Foundations & Retainers for Shropshire Businesses
Do you offer ongoing SEO retainers for SMEs?
Yes, but only if it makes sense for your business. Many clients start with the SEO audit and foundations phase to get clarity on what’s needed. From there, you can choose to: – Implement improvements in-house (I can train your team) – Work with me on a monthly SEO retainer for ongoing optimisation – Engage for quarterly strategy reviews My SEO retainers for Shropshire businesses are flexible and scale with your growth.
What does an SEO retainer include?
A typical monthly retainer includes: – Ongoing technical SEO monitoring and fixes – Content optimisation and creation support – Keyword performance tracking and strategy adjustments – Regular reporting (clear and actionable, not buried in data) – Direct access to me for questions and guidance
The scope varies based on your needs – some clients need full-service support, others want strategic oversight whilst managing implementation themselves.
Is this technical? I’m not a developer.
Not at all. I keep everything clear, with minimal jargon. If something is highly technical, I explain exactly what needs doing, why it matters, and what options you have. Many of my SME clients in Shropshire have no technical background – that’s exactly why they value working with someone who translates SEO into plain English.
Will this guarantee rankings?
No honest SEO consultant can guarantee rankings – Google’s algorithm is constantly evolving. What I offer is a clear plan, a cleaner site, and significantly better chances to rank based on actual search behaviour and data. For Shropshire and Telford businesses, I also focus on local SEO strategies that improve your visibility in your specific market.
How long does SEO take to show results?
The initial audit and foundational plan usually take 2–3 weeks from booking. Once we implement changes, you’ll typically see measurable improvements in 3-6 months. SEO is a long-term strategy, not a quick fix – which is why ongoing support through an SEO retainer often makes sense for growing businesses.
What type of businesses in Shropshire have you worked with?
I’ve helped SMEs across diverse sectors: skincare startups, industrial manufacturers, horticulture suppliers, wellness brands, and e-commerce businesses. If you’re based in Telford, Shrewsbury, or anywhere in Shropshire and committed to growing through strategic digital marketing, I can help.
How is working with you different from an SEO agency?
You work directly with me – no account managers, no outsourced teams, no bloated reporting. As a Shropshire-based SEO consultancy, I can meet face-to-face when helpful, I understand the local market, and I integrate your SEO with your broader marketing strategy (including PPC and brand positioning). You get personalised, strategic support, not a cookie-cutter package.
