What's included

What you'll actually get.

No 60-page PDF. No tool-generated noise. A real, written audit, scoped to what matters for your business.

01

Site & technical review

How your site is built, indexed and served — including the technical issues most likely to be holding your rankings back right now.

02

On-page & content review

How well your pages target the searches that actually drive enquiries — and the obvious gaps your competitors are exploiting.

03

Local visibility check

How visible your Google Business Profile is across Harrogate and surrounding areas — and how you compare in the Map Pack.

04

Top three competitor analysis

What your nearest competitors are doing well, where they're vulnerable, and the specific opportunities to overtake them.

05

Keyword landscape

The commercial search terms that matter in your category, ranked by intent and difficulty — not just volume.

06

Three prioritised actions

The three things, in order, that will move the needle most. Specific, doable, and tied to outcomes you actually care about.

Why local search matters

Local search is where buying happens.

Most service businesses underestimate just how much of their potential market is searching for them right now — and how decisive being visible in those searches is.

46%
of all Google searches have local intent
Search Engine Roundtable

Statistics cited from publicly reported industry sources as of 2025–2026. We share them not as a sales pitch but as honest context for why getting local search right has a meaningful, measurable impact on most service businesses.

What we promise

No tricks, no tactics.

A free audit shouldn't be a Trojan horse. Here's what we commit to.

Senior delivery

Your audit is read, written and signed off by a senior consultant. No juniors, no offshore copy-paste, no agency template.

Plain English

Clear, written summaries you can hand to your team or any other agency. No jargon, no impressive-looking nonsense.

Specific, not generic

Recommendations tied to your site, your competitors, your market. Not a list of best practices anyone could find on Google.

Honest assessment

If you don't need us, we'll say so. If your current agency is doing a good job, we'll tell you. We'd rather be useful than win at any cost.

No pressure

One follow-up email after the audit lands, with the option to discuss it on a call. No drip campaigns, no nagging, no selling.

Privacy respected

We won't share your details, sell them on, or add you to a mailing list. Your information stays between us.

Being straight with you

What we won't promise.

SEO has a reputation problem because most agencies oversell. We won't.

Things you won't hear from us:

  • "You'll be #1 in 30 days." Rankings depend on factors outside any agency's control. Anyone promising specific timelines for specific rankings is either lucky or lying.
  • "Guaranteed top three spot." No reputable SEO professional guarantees rankings — Google's own guidelines warn against it. What we can promise is the work itself: defined deliverables, shipped every month.
  • "You'll double your traffic next quarter." Maybe. Often yes for businesses starting from a weak base. But predicting precise traffic uplift before we've seen your data is just storytelling.
  • "Our secret method." There isn't one. There's the methodical work of fixing what's broken, building what's missing, and being consistent for long enough that it compounds.
  • "This audit is your only shot — act now." No urgency tactics. The audit is free because it's how we show our work, not because we're trying to corner you into a decision.
Common questions

Free audits, answered.

Is the audit actually free?

Yes — no charge, no obligation to engage us afterwards, no credit card. We do this because it's the best way to demonstrate the quality of our thinking and to show what working together would look like. About one in three audits leads to an engagement, which is more than enough for us to keep offering them.

What do you need from me to do the audit?

Just your website URL and a sense of what you're trying to achieve. If you have access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics and you're willing to share read-only access, the audit will be more accurate — but it's not a requirement to start.

How long does it take?

We commit to a written audit within 5 working days of receiving everything we need. For more complex sites or multi-location businesses, we may flag a slightly longer turnaround at the start — but never longer than 10 working days.

Will you try to sell me something afterwards?

We'll offer one optional 30-minute call to talk through the audit. If you'd like to discuss working together at that point, great. If you'd rather take the audit and act on it yourself, that's also fine — no pressure, no follow-up campaign.

Can you audit my existing agency's work?

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people request an audit. We'll give you an honest, independent view of what your current agency is doing well, what's missing, and whether the cost is reasonable for the work being delivered. If they're doing a good job, we'll say so.

Do I need to be Harrogate-based?

We specialise in service businesses across Harrogate and the surrounding region — Leeds, York, Knaresborough, Wetherby, Ripon, Ilkley, Skipton — but we'll consider clients further afield where there's a good strategic fit. Mention your location in the form and we'll let you know.

Get started

See where you really stand.

The audit takes us a few hours of senior time and is genuinely useful even if we never work together. If you're not ready for a written audit yet, a 30-minute discovery call is a faster way to get a quick read.
