Our Strategic Manchester SEO Services
At The SEO Works, we offer a full range of SEO services to help your Manchester business succeed online over the long term. Everything we do is shaped by data and built around your goals, with a focus on steady, sustainable growth.
Local SEO
If you’re a Manchester business trying to stand out locally, it helps to work with an SEO agency that knows local SEO inside out. We’ve helped hundreds of businesses in Manchester and across the UK rise above their competitors and build a strong local presence.
Whether it’s setting up and improving your Google Business Profile, creating useful content or earning local backlinks, we know how to get your business seen by the people who matter.
Keyword Research
Good topical keyword research is at the heart of every strong SEO campaign. We use enterpise level tools to spot opportunities others might miss. But we don’t stop at search volumes. We look at what people are really searching for and why, so your Manchester business reaches the right people with the right content. We also run detailed checks on your competitors to find keyword gaps that can bring in more traffic and help boost 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 make sure every site we work on develops a strong technical base. At the start of each SEO campaign, we carry out a full audit of your site to spot any issues. Then we work with developers to fix them and get everything running smoothly.
Our technical SEO covers things like site speed, mobile performance, internal linking, crawlability, 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 and AI models place increasing emphasis on content being valuable for users and structured into chunks. 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.
Authority Building
The number and quality of brand mentions and backlinks to your website still play a big role in how well you show up in search results. We’ve fine-tuned our approach to authority building over the years and keep it up to date with Google’s changes, so our clients build strong and trustworthy profiles.
Alongside digital PR, we use a mix of proven, ethical link-building methods to help boost your site’s authority.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
It’s all well and good being visible, 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 key part of our SEO work is understanding how your website is performing right now. Our team runs detailed benchmarking audits to spot technical problems, content gaps and areas where there’s room to grow. We look at what might be holding your Manchester business back from ranking well, then create a plan to fix those issues and improve your site’s overall 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. Our experienced web design team can create a visually stunning and fully optimised site that looks great and performs well in search rankings. We create fast-loading, mobile-friendly websites that enhance the user experience and keep visitors engaged.

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.
