What Is the Difference Between SEO & PPC for Small Businesses?

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, involves the efforts we undertake to achieve high organic rankings for your Small Business Website in Google’s free search results. PPC, or Pay-Per-Click advertising, such as Google Ads, enables you to pay for your website to rank highly alongside other similar small businesses that are also investing in visibility. (These will be marked as ‘Sponsored’.)

Some people might prefer ranking in the organic results through SEO, as these listings are often perceived as more trustworthy by those searching for your services, whilst others prefer instant results through Google Ads. In addition, some small businesses combine these to get the best of both worlds. The choice is yours, and is a matter of personal preference!

Will My Website Rank at the Top of Google If I Use Your Local SEO Services for Small Businesses?

No reputable SEO company should ever guarantee a top ranking on Google or specify how quickly this can be achieved. However, at WDSEO, we have a proven track record of helping our small business clients reach the top spot over the past decade.

The first step is to create a new professionally designed and built SEO-optimised website. We also recommend setting aside a monthly budget for our Local SEO Services.

Do You Offer SEO Services to Small Businesses Outside of Plymouth?

Yes, we offer our Small Business SEO Services throughout the UK, so whether you’re in Plymouth, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast, Swindon, – or any other town or city in the UK, – we can assist your company in improving its ranking on Google for your services.

Do You Do eCommerce Websites?

Our eCommerce SEO services are available exclusively to clients for whom we have developed an eCommerce website. We don't work with Wix or other eCommerce sites as a platform.

Are My Local Competitors Also Your SEO Clients?

At WDSEO, we prioritise complete transparency. While we may work with multiple local businesses in the same industry, we always treat each client equally and are committed to helping everyone achieve top rankings on Google.

Why Are My Local Competitors Ranked Higher Than Me?

Several factors influence your SEO rankings. The age of your domain plays a significant role in establishing authority; newer domains typically take longer to yield results. Additionally, Google assesses your website’s Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EEAT), which can impact your position over time, though this does not directly affect your rankings.

Furthermore, our small business clients have varying budgets for our Local SEO Services, with some allocating one day per month while others opt for two or even three; more frequent updates and fresh content can lead to improved rankings. Your overall online presence, including social media engagement and positive reviews, also contributes to your search engine rankings.

For more information, please see our blog post: Are My Local Competitors Also Your SEO Clients?

To assist you in making informed purchasing choices, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions, along with a range of valuable information related to various types of websites and options for website providers, including freelancers, agencies, onshore or remote services.

Whether you prefer watching videos or reading articles and eBooks, all of this information is available to you – at no cost!

Why Do Small Businesses Need Local SEO?

In today’s world, most people search for new services and products online, predominantly using Google.  Before making a final purchasing decision, they often confirm their findings by checking Online Reviews of the website they found and liked. This trend is especially prevalent among small businesses.

To grow your business and attract new customers, it is essential for your small business website to appear on the first page of Google’s organic (free) search results. Ideally, you want to be featured at the top of the “3 Pack”, which showcases three listings directly below the Google Map. Businesses that achieve high rankings on the first page of search engines and receive numerous positive online reviews are more likely to be contacted by potential customers.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the most effective method (the only way!) for obtaining a high ranking on Google, without the hefty costs associated with Google Ads. If you’re interested in learning more about SEO, feel free to read our blog: What is SEO?

What Is On-site SEO for Small Businesses?

At WDSEO, we incorporate on-site SEO, right from the initial design phase of your small business website. This approach ensures that SEO best practices are integrated from the very beginning.

Website Design &
Development

Once we understand your priorities for business growth, we will design and develop your website. Our focus is on creating appropriate pages, an effective website structure, and clear Calls to Action. These elements work together to help generate more high-quality leads.

On-Site Small
Business SEO

Using all of the information you have provided; we will write and SEO-optimise the copy for your website. In addition, we optimise images, videos, and page names to enhance your site’s performance in Google search results.

User
Experience

We prioritise making your website user-friendly across all device types, including smartphones, tablets, and computers, including well-placed and relevant Calls to Action, such as Click-to-Call buttons, Contact Forms, and Booking options.

Site Speed &
Security

Our Web Developers ensure the safety and security of your website for all users. We also make sure your site loads quickly and runs smoothly, providing a positive user experience to avoid frustrating visitors with long load times.

What Is Off-site SEO for Small Businesses?

Off-site SEO centres around enhancing your small business’s digital presence across the web and focuses on promoting your website to potential customers. To achieve this, off-site SEO for small businesses includes: 

Listings &
Citations

Over the past decade, we have developed and consistently updated the WDSEO list of approximately 100 high Google “PageRank” Listings, Directories, and Citations websites. We manually ensure that your business information is accurately represented across these platforms. This includes maintaining consistent and comprehensive details wherever your company is found online, particularly your NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number).

High-Quality
Backlinks

 It’s also important to source and implement quality backlinks to your website. A backlink is a link from a high-quality, reputable website to your own. This type of link signals to Google the trustworthiness and quality of your website. Some SEO companies purchase backlinks, but this can be risky. It’s better to focus on natural link-building practices.

Social Media
Marketing

Choosing and consistently engaging with the most relevant social media channels for your business is crucial. This involves focusing on the platforms where your ideal customers are most active, typically Instagram and Facebook for Business. Utilising the appropriate social media platforms will enhance your business presence and cultivate customer loyalty.

w

Online
Reviews

Acquiring positive Online Reviews from your customers is one of the most crucial aspects of Off-site SEO for small businesses. Prospective clients will almost always check these before deciding which one to choose. We can advise you on how to obtain more Online Reviews to improve your credibility and attract customers.

Can You Provide SEO for My Existing Small Business Website?

Unfortunately, no. Our Small Business SEO Services are available exclusively for websites that we have designed and developed ourselves. Optimising an existing site can be complicated due to issues such as poor design, limited on-site optimisation, and non-WordPress/Shopify platforms. We find it more efficient and cost-effective to create a new, SEO-optimised website from the ground up rather than attempting to fix an outdated one.

For more details, check out our blog post: Can You Provide SEO for My Existing Website?

How Long Does SEO for Small Businesses Take to Work?

Determining SEO timelines can be challenging, as various factors come into play: industry competitiveness, your budget, website quality (don’t worry – we’ve got you covered!), as well as domain authority and relevance. Generally, it’s advisable to allow around six months before you begin to see results from our Local SEO Services for Small Businesses. While quicker results are possible, SEO is fundamentally a long-term strategy. Established domains in less competitive areas may witness results sooner, whereas new domains targeting broader regions might take more than twelve months.

Your overall online presence also affects the duration for SEO to take effect. Being listed on reputable platforms, acquiring positive reviews, and engaging on social media boost your credibility and contribute to improved search engine rankings. Backlinks from quality websites further strengthen your authority in the eyes of search engines.

How Much Does Local SEO for Small Businesses Cost?

  • For a 3-month commitment, the monthly fee is £375 plus VAT.
  • If you sign up for 6 months, the fee is reduced to £345 plus VAT per month.
  • A 9-month subscription costs £320 plus VAT per month.
  • Finally, if you commit to 12 months, the monthly fee is £295 plus VAT.

To learn more about SEO costs, you can read our blog posts: How Much Will My SEO Cost Per Month? and How Much Does SEO Cost in the UK?

Is SEO a One-Time Thing?

No, SEO is not a one-off task; it demands ongoing effort. Continuous work is crucial to sustain and improve your website’s performance. While you concentrate on gaining an edge over your competitors, they are likely investing in SEO as well, so neglecting it can lead to the loss of valuable organic traffic. Even if you reach the top position on Google, your website will still require hard work to maintain its ranking.

Why Isn’t SEO a One-Off Thing?

Search engines favour websites with fresh, high-quality content. Furthermore, they are continually refining their algorithms to deliver the most relevant results. Regularly updating your site improves user experience and builds trust, ultimately drawing in more potential customers. Our ongoing Small Business SEO Services ensure you remain relevant and competitive in local search rankings.
