We specialise in local SEO services that help you connect with your community and drive more foot traffic to your door (and your website!). When you work with us, we help you dominate local searches so that when potential customers are looking for services you provide, they find you first.

Conversion-Driven Results
Our local SEO packages are designed to give your business the targeted support it needs to thrive. We focus on strategies that make you hard to miss online so you can effectively reach your ideal customers and stand out in your competitive market.
We look at search trends and what people are actually looking for to discover the right local keywords to drive traffic to your website. We also keep an eye on how your website ranks for your target keywords so we can make changes as needed to keep you at the top in local searches.
Knowing what your competitors are up to gives you a real advantage in your local market, so we analyse their strategies to see what works for them and where they are falling short. We use these insights to create a local SEO strategy that sets you apart.
Your Google Business profile is your first impression in local search results, so if you don’t have one, or you haven’t optimised it, you’re missing out on traffic and sales opportunities from your local market. We’ll set up your profile (if you don’t already have one!) and optimise it so it accurately reflects your business and sends all the right signals to Google to show your business higher in local rankings.
We consistently monitor your profile’s performance, track its visibility, and keep your products, services and posts up-to-date. We also work with your customer service team to help you build customer reviews on your profile to boost your reputation ahead of your competitors.
Great copywriting is all about connecting with your audience. Our team focuses on creating engaging content for your products, services, blogs, and location-based pages. By using local keywords and relevant information, we help improve your visibility in local searches and attract more customers in your local area who are looking for what you offer.
We create and manage your business listings across all relevant online directories, ensuring that your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) are consistent everywhere. This consistency not only helps customers find you but also signals to search engines that you’re a trusted local business.
We secure quality backlinks from reputable sources, prioritising the ones that matter in your industry, like local or topically relevant websites and local news publications, to boost your website’s authority with search engines to increase your rankings in local search results.
A smooth-running website is essential for users and search engines. We regularly check for technical issues that could affect your local search performance and fix them as needed. From your website’s speed to mobile and voice search optimisation, we follow and implement the best practices to enhance and boost your business’s online presence.
Sinead Curtin2024-12-10 We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Kate and the team at Webhive. Their excellent communication and expert knowledge in SEO and ad management made a significant difference to our business. They were always reliable, kept us updated every step of the way, and their pricing was very reasonable for the value they delivered. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in traffic and conversions. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, results-driven digital marketing support! Podknows Podcasting2024-11-04 Kate and the whole Webhive team did a great job for Podknows in getting the site ranking for some pretty competitive terms. Would highly recommend! Sakib Mohammed2024-06-14 Excellent experience with great results and performance improvement to my website. Knows her stuff. yusuf zaman2023-11-11 The best in the business!

In just 1 hour she answered all of my questions and helped me understand exactly what I needed to know about SEO for a project I was doing. She was clear in her communication and really took her time with me. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Thanks for the review! Hope my SEO services helped boost your online visibility! Essex Aquatics2023-03-27 Webhive Digital completely redesigned and rebuilt our website. They worked with us to overcome and solve all the problems we had previously. We also get them to carry out ongoing monthly SEO and so far have seen fantastic results. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Happy to help your business thrive with monthly SEO services and the new website design! 🙂 UK Pet Food2023-01-24 We have been working with Kate on our SEO for our new website and complete rebrand, including new name UK Pet Food. It has been a concern for us to get our SEO back to previous high levels of our old website, with a more competitive name, but so far in 3 months it is definitely going in the right direction and Kate has this all in-hand with regular useful updates, which is really reassuring! Being able to work on a monthly SEO package basis is great for us as a small organisation, enabling us to analyse whether additional consultancy is required as we go along.

Contact us to discuss how our local SEO marketing strategies can help your business stand out in the local market.
We know that every business is different, and that’s why our local SEO process is all about you. Over the first six months, we’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and the industry you operate in. Our digital marketing approach is straightforward and effective, designed to boost your visibility and connect you with customers who are already looking to convert. Here’s a look at what you can expect from our monthly SEO packages:
We kick things off by getting to know your business inside and out. We start with keyword research to identify the local search terms your target customers are using to find products or services related to your business. Then, we dive into a thorough audit of your online presence, including your Google Business Profile and local listings, to create our local SEO strategy. This includes optimising your GMB profile, optimising your website content and starting your local link building campaign to set a solid foundation for your local presence.
During the second month, we shift our focus to building your online authority. This involves acquiring backlinks from reputable national websites and enhancing your brand presence. We dive into advanced keyword research, develop a tailored content strategy, and optimise existing content to align with the national keywords identified earlier. We’ll also review your site’s user experience to find areas for improvement that can help convert traffic into customers.
In the sixth month, we evaluate everything we’ve accomplished at the first stage of your local SEO campaign. We analyse key metrics like search rankings, website traffic, and conversions to see how far you’ve come. Based on what we learn, we refine our approach for your ongoing success.
Every business has its own story, and we’re here to help you tell yours. Whether you’re an eCommerce business, a brick-and-mortar services firm, or a trusted local service provider, our local SEO strategies are crafted to fit your unique business needs. We focus on connecting you with local customers who are searching for what you offer and making sure your business stands out in local search rankings (and in their minds).

While SEO helps you reach a wider audience, local SEO focuses on getting customers in your area. If your business relies on attracting people who are close to you, it’s all about showing up when people nearby are looking for what you offer. Local SEO uses things like your Google Business Profile and location-specific keywords to help you stand out in local searches.
Optimising your Google Business Profile is a key part of our local SEO strategy. We’ll ensure your profile is fully updated with accurate information, engaging images, and compelling descriptions that attract local customers. Our goal is to make your profile work harder for you, helping you stand out in local searches.
57% of local searches are made on mobile devices, so you need to make sure your business is showing at the top of their search results when they search for what you offer. Local SEO helps you show up in those “near me” searches and Google Maps results, making it easier for people to find and choose your business.
Definitely, even with solid SEO, local SEO gives you an extra boost in your region. It helps you appear in local search results and maps, which is great for attracting nearby customers who are ready to visit or buy from you.
While Google Local Services Ads aren’t included in our standard services, we also offer Google Ads management services to help you reach your target market effectively. Our team can help you set up targeted campaigns that maximise your visibility and connect you with the right audience in your area. Let us know if you’re interested, and we can discuss how to integrate this into your overall marketing strategy!
For a physical local business, local SEO is a must. It helps people in your area find you when they’re looking for your products or services. Plus, it can drive more foot traffic to your store by making sure you show up in local searches and map listings.
We believe in keeping you informed every step of the way. You can expect regular updates from our live client portals so you can see what we’re working on and a detailed report on your website’s progress every month. These reports will cover key metrics and insights so you’ll always know how your local SEO efforts are performing and where we’re headed next.
