Small Business SEO Services
Folks are already searching for what you offer. I make sure they can find you.
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!
You might have a wedding venue, a pottery studio, a vegan cafe or a vintage clothing boutique.. Your ideal customers are searching for your services online - I can help your website show up there.
You won’t just get more visitors to your website, you’ll get more foot traffic and more online inquiries or phone calls.

Joanna Dunn Yoga: SEO Setup +Monthly SEO Maintenance
“The biggest change I’ve seen since working with Clare is that my retreats are filling way earlier than they were a year ago. One of my retreats recently filled up seven months early. Three or four years ago, I was in tears after a retreat that I worked so hard to fill and actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work.”
“My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher. Although my local ranking has been strong for some time, I’m now seeing visibility regionally and even nationally. Working with Clare has made a huge difference to my business and my confidence”
