Local SEO management in Derbyshire

Ongoing SEO that keeps your business visible, your rankings climbing, and your enquiries growing. Two plans to match your needs and budget.

Why local SEO stops working when you stop working on it

A lot of businesses get their website built and their Google profile set up, then assume the job is done. For a few months, things might hold. But Google rewards activity, and your competitors across Derby, Chesterfield, and Belper are constantly updating their profiles, collecting new reviews, and publishing content of their own.

A business that goes quiet starts sliding. Not dramatically at first, but steadily. The enquiries slow down. The profile drops from the top three in Maps to page two, and page two might as well not exist for how many people ever scroll that far.

Local SEO is maintenance in the same way a van needs servicing. You don't wait until it breaks down. You keep it running so it doesn't.

What monthly management actually involves

On the Google Business Profile side, that means weekly posts covering project updates, tips, offers, and seasonal content, along with photo uploads, review monitoring and response, and keeping your business information accurate as anything changes.

On the website side, it means updating page content to target new keywords, fixing technical issues like page speed, mobile usability, and crawl errors, adding schema markup, and improving how the pages link to each other. Blog content goes out monthly, aimed at the searches that actually bring new traffic, things like “do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Derby” or “how to find a good electrician in Belper.”

Beyond that, we build and maintain your directory listings across Yell, Thomson Local, Checkatrade, TrustATrader, FreeIndex, Bark, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and the trade-specific directories that matter for your industry, and we keep an eye on what other businesses in your area are doing on Google so you don't fall behind without noticing. Every month you get a report showing exactly what work was done, what changed, and how the numbers are moving.

Two plans to fit your business

The GBP Management plan, at £50 a month, is for businesses that have a website they're happy with but want their Google profile actively managed. It covers weekly posts, photo uploads, review monitoring, a monthly website health check with recommendations (not fixes, just a report on what could be improved), and a monthly performance report. It's the right choice for businesses that want to stay visible without a big monthly commitment.

The Full Management plan, at £150 a month, is for businesses that want everything handled. It includes everything in GBP Management plus blog content, website SEO work, directory building, new pages where needed, competitor monitoring, and technical SEO maintenance. This is the plan that builds momentum over time rather than just holding a position steady.

Both plans run month to month with no contracts. If the results aren't there, you can walk away.
