About SEO

We offer an agency-standard SEO service at small-business-friendly rates.

We're passionate about helping small businesses improve their online presence. We get a real buzz when we can show off what we can do to beat your competitors! For small businesses, freelancers and start-ups that don't have the budget to hire agencies or inhouse SEO professionals, Pennine SEO is the solution!

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is often overlooked by business owners. However, for most businesses, it is INCREDIBLY important if you want to remain competitive and grow your business.

There is no "easy" way of improving your search engine rankings. Most of the time, for SEO to have a long term effect on your business, it requires a long term commitment.

Although, it is possible to apply certain practises in one phase that could have noticeable long-lasting results. That depends on factors such as the quality of your website and your competition.

Here at Pennine SEO, we have the expertise, experience and tools to audit your website, formulate a plan, propose the most cost effective way to improve your search engine rankings, execute the best SEO practises and report back to you each month.

SEO is an investment in your company's future growth

Every Position Counts

When searching for services online, 90% of users will click on the first result. HALF as many of those will click on the second result and half of THOSE will click on the third result...

Accessibility

SEO isn't just about improving your search results... It's about improving the usability of your website, making it more likely to convert your visitors to sales or leads. By carrying out best practises, it also makes your website accessible to those with disabilities.

Spotting Opportunities

Included in our reporting are two valuable sections:

1. Competitors analysis whereby we check up on your competitors and let you know what they're doing differently.

2. In depth analysis of your users. This identified the demographics of your visitors, behavioural statistics and what they're searching for, helping to identify gaps in the market.

Feed the Funnel

The more who see your website, the more visits you will get.

The more visits you get, the more leads you get.

The more leads you get, the more sales you get!

How do you Improve Search Engine Rankings?

Google uses over 200 ranking factors when determining how to index every single webpage it discovers.

There is no trickery in SEO, gone are the days when you could stuff keywords at the footer of a webpage in the same colour as the background to increase your rankings.

These days, it is far more complex to improve your search engine rankings. There are "on-page" and "off-page" tactics that can help you improve your search engine rankings.

On-page SEO example: Content is King! Create original content purely with the intent of genuinely being useful to a visitor.
Off-page SEO example: Gain organic inbound links from "authoritative" websites.
On-page SEO example: Your website must be technically-sound and secure.
Off-page SEO example: Be active on social media and drive users to your website to increase engagement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend Chris Wood at Pennine SEO highly enough. Chris has been fully responsible for our digital marketing for our manufacturing company in Albania, covering everything from website maintenance and SEO to social media management, professional photography, paid advertising, TV advert production, and ongoing IT support. Since employing Chris, our company has grown to become the largest in the Balkans, and the strategic marketing, branding, and online presence he has built for us has played a major role in that success. His understanding of our industry, attention to detail, and ability to consistently deliver results set him apart. Chris is reliable, proactive, and extremely easy to work with. Communication is always clear, deadlines are met, and nothing is ever too much trouble. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely understands how to grow a business through effective digital marketing, Pennine SEO and Chris Wood are an outstanding choice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We instructed Chris to manage our social media profiles and to advise us on other marketing activities. It's only been a month and we've seen more than a 1000% increase in our social media reach and a noticeable increase in sales for our garden border products. Chris has been really easy to work with. He has taken the time to understand our product and our business objectives and has helped us break into new international markets at a very competitive rate. I can see for myself that everything he has done has increased our exposure organically and has not achieved this through underhand tactics like buying likes and interactions which many other social media management companies do. Instead, he has been able to create engaging, great-looking posts that have encouraged new customers to come and buy our product. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Owner's reply
Thank you for the fantastic review, Katie! It's a pleasure working with you :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from Pennine SEO, Chris has fixed every issue we had with our website and online profiles. We needed someone to sort out all the ‘behind the scenes’ things that we didn’t have the knowledge to do ourselves and it’s been an amazing process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Owner's reply
Thanks for leaving this glowing review, Tom! I'm glad to see the results are starting to show now after I carried out the SEO work on your window cleaning business's website.
