Would You Prioritise Your Existing Local Clients as Long-Standing Ones?
As with everything we do at WDSEO, we are 100% transparent. We may work with multiple plumbers, electricians or pet services companies in the same city, but we treat all of our clients the same. While some of your local competitors may also be our clients, we are fully committed to helping each and every client to achieve the highest possible rankings on Google for their priority services.
We have a standard process that we follow with each of our clients so that there is no conflict. On your SEO day/s, we will be solely dedicated to you and your business.
There are so many factors that influence why you might / might not rank higher than our other local clients. Although the level of competition for your specific services in your area can affect your rankings, there are many other considerations at play as well.

Why Are My Local Competitors Higher Than Me?
The duration for which your domain has been registered and in use plays a significant role in establishing its authority, which greatly affects your SEO rankings. If your domain is brand-new, it may take longer for SEO efforts to show results. Some of our SEO clients may have been in the game longer than you, giving their domains more authority.
Google assess the quality of your website based on your Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EEAT). While these factors won’t directly influence your rankings, they might make it longer for your site to reach top positions on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
Additionally, our SEO clients often have varying budgets – some may allocate resources for two or even 3 days of SEO work per month, while many others take one day. This can also impact your rankings; the more fresh content that is published on your website, the better your chances of surpassing the competition.
What’s more, your online presence beyond your website is equally important. Consider how often you post and engage on social media. Plus, how many positive reviews do you have on Google, and are you responding to them? Every effort counts in helping your website achieve that coveted top spot.

Want to Rank Higher Than Your Local Competition?
Whilst we can’t make any promises to get you higher than your local competition, we will certainly try our absolute hardest for each and every client, and we pride ourselves on knowing what we’re doing, based on many years’ experience and success achieved for our clients.
