SEO · Braintree, Essex
SEO in Braintree, from Braintree.
I'm based at The Plaza on Rutherford Park in Great Notley, five minutes from Braintree town centre. Most of the businesses I work with locally are trades and service firms where one job is worth thousands, and where being found by someone nearby is the whole game.
Braintree is a small market for search: a few hundred people a month look for local services online, not tens of thousands. That's good news. It doesn't take a huge budget to come first. It takes a site Google can read, a page for each thing you do, and a Google Business Profile that's properly looked after.
What I do for Braintree businesses
Fix what's holding the site back
Speed, structure, broken tracking, missing pages. Most local sites I look at have at least one.
One page for each thing you do
If you fit kitchens and bathrooms, you need a page for each, not one page listing everything.
Google Business Profile
The right categories, services, photos and a steady flow of reviews, so you show in the map results.
Reviews and local mentions
Directories, local organisations and the sites people in Braintree already trust.
Local proof
Braintree Van Hire, Rayne Road
New name, new hand-built site and a clean move to a new domain. Google picked it up within days, and inside a week it was second for "van hire braintree", ahead of long-established local competitors. Five website enquiries on its first full business day. Read the case study →

Questions
How much does SEO cost for a Braintree business?
It depends on how far behind the site is and how competitive your trade is. I quote after a 15-minute call, once I've seen the site. Most local businesses don't need a big budget, because the market is small.
How long before I see results in Braintree?
Usually three to five months. Fixing technical problems and your Google Business Profile can move things sooner.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I'm at The Plaza, Rutherford Park, Great Notley, and meetings are by appointment.
Do you only work with Braintree businesses?
No. I work across Essex and the UK, but Braintree is home, and local clients get the advantage of someone who knows the area.
Will SEO help me show up on Google Maps?
Yes. Map results come mostly from your Google Business Profile, reviews and how relevant your site is, and that's part of the work.
