From Google My Business optimisation, to content marketing and local backlink acquisition, we are specialists in getting local businesses in front of their potential customers.
Keyword Research
Comprehensive keyword research is essential to any SEO campaign. We have access to advanced tools to uncover untapped opportunities (including Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google keyword planner, and more). We go beyond simple search volume metrics to uncover the intent behind searches, ensuring your Manchester business is targeting the right audience with the right content. Our experts conduct competitor and keyword gap analysis to identify high-impact keywords that will drive traffic and conversions.
On-page SEO
On-page SEO is the foundation of a well-optimised website. We optimise your most important pages, from title tags and meta descriptions to header structures and internal linking, which are critical components of on-page SEO.
Our SEO experts strategically refine content to make sure your pages are highly relevant with the intent of the SERPs yet also engaging for your target audience.
Technical SEO
We prioritise ensuring that every client’s site we work with has a strong technical grounding to rely on. At the start of every SEO campaign, we do a complete audit of your Manchester business’ site to identify issues and work with developers to resolve these and ensure your site has strong technical foundations.
Our technical SEO work includes but is not limited to site speed and mobile performance, internal linking, crawlability, rendering and indexation, sitemaps, URL structure, structured data, and more.
Content Marketing
Without high-quality, helpful and optimised content on your website, you won’t be able to rank among or ahead of competitors in your industry. Google is placing increasing emphasis on content being valuable for users. We work with a range of clients, ranging from start-ups who need us to support them with writing content that gets them off the ground, to established organisations whose website content needs refining.
Our content marketing experts know how to write content that ranks, informs, but most importantly, converts your website visitors into paying customers.
Link Acquisition
The amount and authority of backlinks that point to a website continue to be a strong factor in helping a website to have strong visibility in search results. We have refined our link acquisition methods and strategies over the years and are constantly adapting to Google’s algorithms with the aim of ensuring our clients have strong, authoritative backlink profiles.
As well as offering digital PR services, we carry out a range of other white hat link-building tactics to help build up and strengthen your website’s link profile.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
It’s all well and good ranking for a range of high-volume keywords, but if your website offers a poor user experience or user journey, you will miss out on tons of potential conversions. As part of our SEO campaigns, we take the time to review the user experience of all our client sites and provide recommendations for conversion rate optimisation.
Your website traffic needs to be steered through your desired user journey if they are to ultimately convert and become a customer. We help clients to outline their user journey and make sure this is clear across your site.
SEO Audits
A fundamental part of our SEO process is understanding where your website currently stands. To achieve this, our SEO experts conduct in-depth audits to uncover technical and content issues, alongside opportunities for growth and improvement. We identify weaknesses that may be holding your Manchester business back from achieving top rankings, to allow us to put a plan in place to address these issues and strengthen your site’s overall SEO performance.
SEO-Optimised Web Design
An SEO strategy is only as strong as the website it’s built on, and true success comes when SEO is complemented by a well-designed, user-friendly website.

SEO Agency Manchester FAQs
How long does it take for SEO in Manchester to work?
SEO is a medium to long-term digital marketing strategy that requires an investment of patience and time. If an agency tells you they will be able to secure you a position one ranking in a short amount of time, tread with caution. If it were fast and easy, everyone would rank number 1 for all of their key searches, right?
The timeframe it takes to see results and conversions from organic search varies according to a wide range of factors, including how competitive your industry is, your existing visibility and authority, and the number of issues that need addressing on your site. Every aspect of our SEO campaigns has ROI at the forefront, so you can see sustained results from your investment over time.
Why is it important to work with a professional Manchester SEO company?
Working with a third-party SEO agency means you have access to specialists in their field, who have successfully helped businesses in a range of industries to rise to the top of the search results for their offering.
Unlike in-house SEO where businesses must rely on the knowledge of one or a few individuals, working with our large, award-winning agency means your campaigns are informed and developed by experts in all areas of organic SEO. From international eCommerce companies to local businesses looking to rank in a city like Manchester, we have the experience and expertise to provide.
Is it better to outsource your SEO to an agency or do it in-house?
Working with an SEO agency gives you access to a large team of SEO professionals who all specialise in different aspects of search engine optimisation. Whereas, if you do SEO in-house, you’re limited to the knowledge and expertise of a small team or sometimes a single person. Also, by using an experienced agency like ours, you get measurable results and a cost-effective approach without the overhead of building and maintaining an internal team.
Not only do you need to cover the salaries of an in-house SEO team, you also need to pay for premium SEO tools in order to do SEO effectively, which can be costly and add up quickly.
Why isn’t my website ranking on Google?
There can be multiple reasons why your website isn’t ranking highly on Google. Some of these reasons could be:
- Low domain authority: If your website doesn’t have many backlinks, it will struggle to rank higher than competitors with lots of relevant, high-quality backlinks.
- Not targeting keywords: Your website might have good content, but it’s not optimised for the right search terms that your potential customers are using.
- Indexing issues: Pages on your website may not have been indexed by Google’s crawlers, which means they won’t appear in search results, even if the content is valuable.
- Algorithm penalties: If you’ve used black-hat SEO tactics in the past, there’s a chance Google has issued a penalty, significantly reducing your site’s rankings or even de-indexing it entirely.
Part of our SEO services for businesses in Manchester involve diagnosing the exact issues your website is experiencing that may be preventing it from ranking on Google. We then create a strategy to resolve these issues, and improve your visibility in search results.
How much does SEO cost?
The cost of SEO services depends on the scale of work needed to improve your website’s rankings and overall performance. At The SEO Works, we offer tailored SEO strategies that align with your budget and objectives. We offer SEO packages suitable for small, medium, and large businesses.
Do I need to be based in Manchester?
No, you don’t. Not only do we work with businesses in Manchester, we work with lots of companies across a range of industries in the UK and internationally. No matter where your business is based, you’ll get the same high level of service you would if you had an office in Manchester.
