CLARE ASHBROOK
Small Business SEO Services
People are already searching for what you offer. I make sure they can find you.
Hi, I’m Clare! I’m an SEO strategist located in Stockport, Greater Manchester, working with small businesses throughout the UK, the USA and worldwide.
My specialism is in local SEO. If you have a small business that works in a specific physical location or that serves customers locally, you need local SEO!
Your ideal customers are searching for your services online
You might have an events venue, a pottery studio, a vegan cafe, a flower shop or you host yoga and meditation retreats - I can help your website show up. You won’t just get more visitors to your website, you’ll get more foot traffic and more online inquiries or phone calls.
Does this sound good?
Get found online
You don't need to do everything at once. You just need the right things in place, so your ideal client can find you when they're searching online. These three foundations make that possible:
A clear SEO foundation so Google understands who you are and what you do.
Content that answers the questions your clients are already asking. This is what builds trust and search visibility.
A simple, supportive plan so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to be seen.
That’s what I help with.

SEO set-up and monthly maintenance
The main way I work with clients is via a monthly retainer to give you ongoing, hands-on support across SEO, content and marketing – so everything works together.
Perfect if you’d like long-term partnership designed to support steady, sustainable growth, plus SEO maintenance plans with monthly reports.
White label SEO for you and your clients
If you’re a web designer or copywriter looking to elevate the work you deliver to your clients, I offer a seamless SEO add-on that fits around your process.
From tailored keyword research and full SEO set-up to Google Business Profile optimisation, Google Analytics and Search Console integration, everything is thoughtfully aligned with the site you’re building or the copy you are writing and the goals you’ve already defined.

I focus on strategies that actually work for growing small businesses, not enterprise-level tactics that don’t fit your reality.
