SEO for B2B service businesses that want enquiries, not vanity stats

SEO & Copywriting Content for UK websites

Your website exists. It probably looks good. The question is whether the right people find it on Google, and whether they get in touch when they do. I’ve been doing SEO for 30 years, since before Google existed, and I do it for B2B businesses who’d rather have a full enquiry form than a pretty rankings report.

“Rankings are nice. Enquiries pay the bills. I work on the second one.”
“We had a new site built last year and the enquiries dried up.” I hear this more than anything else. It’s rarely the design. It’s what the build did to the SEO.

Looks great, invisible on Google

A rebuild, redesign or migration done without anyone checking what Google could still find afterwards.

Ranking for the wrong things

Traffic from people who will never buy, while the searches from people ready to hire go to a competitor.

Visitors, but no enquiries

The page ranks, people land on it, and nothing on it matches the question they came with.

Here’s how I can help your website

Three ways to work with me, depending on how much you want to do yourself. Most B2B businesses start with the first one.

SEO Content & Copy

Writing about your own business is hard. Writing it so a stranger wants to get in touch is harder. Doing that while keeping one eye on what Google needs, and the other on running the business, is where most people give up.

All my copy is written with search intent in mind: what the reader was looking for, and what they need to see to trust you. You get pages and posts that bring in enquiries and then leave you alone to deal with them.

SEO Training

Some people want to do their own SEO. Some just want to know enough to stop getting ripped off by whoever’s doing it for them. Both are fine. After 30 years I reckon I can teach either.

What do I know about SEO?

I started promoting websites over 30 years ago, before Google existed, and I’ve kept doing it through every algorithm change since. Panda, Penguin, helpful content, AI overviews. Different names, same job: make sure the right people find you.

What do I know about Content Writing?

From website copy to blog posts and beyond, I’ve been writing since I wanted to be a journalist. I know what makes someone keep reading, and what makes them close the tab.

What do I know about your industry?

Probably more than you’d expect. Thirty years of SEO and copy across children’s clothes, engineering, web agencies, architects, accountants, SaaS, healthcare and a lot in between. Proper research means I can write about most things with confidence. It also makes me very annoying in a pub quiz.
