FAQs about SEO

What is SEO and why is it important? 

Toggle

SEO (search engine optimisation) is the process of improving your website’s visibility on Google, Bing, and other search engines. A strong SEO strategy helps your business appear higher in search results, bringing in more traffic, leads, and sales without relying on paid ads. 

SEO is a long-term investment, and results typically start to show within 3 to 6 months, depending on your industry, competition, and the current state of your website. The more effort and ongoing optimisation, the stronger and more sustainable the results. 

Local SEO helps businesses appear in search results when potential customers look for services near them. By optimising your Google Business Profile, local keywords, and citations, we help you attract more local leads and stand out in your area. 

While some basic SEO (like adding keywords and updating content) can be done yourself, effective SEO requires expertise in technical SEO, link building, and ongoing optimisation. Hiring an expert ensures your website follows best practices and remains competitive. 

SEO (search engine optimisation) improves organic rankings, meaning free, long-term traffic. PPC (pay-per-click advertising) delivers immediate results but requires ongoing ad spend. A combined SEO & PPC strategy often works best for maximising traffic and conversions. 

Our SEO services include: 

  • Keyword research – Finding the best search terms for your business. 
  • On-page optimisation – Improving content, meta tags, and site structure. 
  • Technical SEO – Fixing issues like site speed and mobile usability. 
  • Local SEO – Optimising for Google Maps and location-based searches. 
  • High-quality link building – Increasing credibility with backlinks. 
  • Performance tracking & reporting – Clear insights into your progress. 

Yes! SEO works alongside paid ads and social media to build long-term visibility. While Google Ads provides instant traffic, SEO ensures sustained growth and reduces reliance on paid advertising over time. 

SEO is an ongoing process – if you stop, competitors who continue optimising will overtake your rankings. Search engines prioritise fresh, relevant content, so regular updates and optimisations are key to maintaining results. 

We provide detailed SEO reports so you can track your progress with clear, measurable insights: 

  • Keyword rankings – See how your website moves up in search results. 
  • Website traffic – Monitor organic visits, engagement, and trends. 
  • Conversion rates – Measure leads, calls, or sales generated from SEO. 
  • Backlink growth – Track high-quality links that boost your website’s authority. 

To keep you fully informed, you’ll also receive a quarterly (solutions) or monthly (premier services) performance review call with your account manager. We’ll discuss your results, answer any questions, and outline the next steps to further optimise your SEO strategy. 

The cost of SEO depends on your business size, competition, and goals. Some agencies offer low-cost SEO, but quality SEO requires ongoing work from experienced professionals. At Yell, we provide tailored SEO packages to suit different business needs so you can get the best results for your budget. 

Our local SEO upgrade for websites built as part of our digital marketing solutions starts from £300 per month. For a fully bespoke SEO strategy with enhanced service and support, our premier SEO services start from £700 per month. Get in touch today, and we’ll recommend the best SEO solution to match your business goals and budget! 

Look for an SEO company with: 

  • A proven track record of ranking businesses higher. 
  • Transparent pricing and clear reporting. 
  • Google Partner status or industry certifications. 
  • A strategy tailored to your business goals. 
  • Ethical, white-hat SEO practices to ensure sustainable growth. 

Google uses hundreds of ranking factors to determine where your website appears in search results. The most important include: 

  • Website content quality & relevance 
  • Keyword usage & optimisation 
  • Page loading speed & mobile-friendliness 
  • Backlinks from reputable websites 
  • User experience (UX) & engagement metrics 

Technical SEO ensures your website is fast, secure, and easy to navigate, helping both users and search engines. Key aspects include: 

  • Fixing broken links & errors 
  • Improving site speed & mobile responsiveness 
  • Adding structured data (schema markup) 
  • Ensuring search engines can properly index your pages 

Keyword research helps you target the exact search terms your customers use, ensuring your website appears for the right audience. Using the wrong keywords can result in low-quality traffic that doesn’t convert into leads or sales. 

Backlinks are links from other websites to yours. High-quality backlinks from trusted, relevant websites improve your site’s credibility, helping it rank higher on Google. Low-quality or spammy backlinks, however, can harm your rankings. 

Google regularly updates its search algorithms to improve user experience and fight spam. If your SEO strategy follows Google’s best practices, your rankings should remain stable. However, low-quality SEO tactics can lead to ranking drops after updates. 

SEO helps you attract high-intent customers who are already searching for your products or services. This leads to higher conversion rates, meaning more sales and enquiries without increasing ad spend. 

Yes, but new websites take time to build authority. A well-planned SEO strategy – including keyword optimisation, content creation, and technical SEO – can help speed up the process and start driving traffic sooner. 

Yes! SEO benefits all businesses, whether you’re a local tradesperson, eCommerce store, law firm, hair salon, or national brand. Each industry requires a tailored approach, but the goal remains the same – to increase visibility and attract the right customers. 

An SEO audit is a health check for your website. It identifies: 

  • Technical issues affecting rankings. 
  • Keyword opportunities to target. 
  • Competitor insights to gain an advantage. 
  • Content gaps that need improvement. 

A free SEO audit is the best way to understand your website’s current performance and where improvements can be made. 

Getting started is easy! Request a free SEO audit, and our experts will: 

  • Assess your website’s current rankings & performance. 
  • Identify opportunities to improve visibility & traffic. 
  • Provide a tailored SEO strategy to help you grow.
