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?
“I am a yoga teacher whose primary business is leading retreats. The biggest change that I have seen since starting to work 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 felt I worked hard to fill and I actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work. My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher.
With Clare’s help, my local ranking has been high for some time, and now I am getting more visibility regionally and even nationally.”

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.
“If you want someone to help translate the SEO noise and transform it into clicks and progress, and who is also lovely and professional, you’re in wonderful hands with Clare.
Clare was able to lay out what my website needed - and clearly communicated what I should prioritize for my site to make it work harder for me.
In the midst of all of this she would make suggestions to fine tune things and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness paired with her expertise. Our Google meet calls were always so helpful, and she helped me stay on track and hit the goals we set.
Since working together I’ve had an increase in locally-based inquiries and bookings, website clicks, couples interested in sustainably sourced florals for their weddings and I rank on page 1 of Google”

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

-
Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with designers, developers, and in-house teams.
-
Yes, I offer monthly SEO maintenance tailored to your business needs. This typically includes reporting, performance analysis, and blog optimization—keeping your SEO strategy active so you can continue to grow.
