About
Built for a city that has been sold a lot of SEO and shown very few numbers
The audits we ran for Portsmouth businesses before this site existed kept turning up the same four things: a retainer paid to an agency somewhere else, a Google profile nobody had finished, district pages with the name swapped, and a monthly PDF of graphs with no enquiries in it. Portsmouth SEO is the alternative: the work done by one named person, district by district, with the prices on the page and the figures shown every month.
What we will not do
Five refusals, before the sales pitch
Most of the damage we see on Portsmouth profiles and sites was done by someone paid to help. These are the lines we do not cross, whatever the client asks or the competitor does.
01
No bought links, no bought reviews
Both get profiles suspended and sites filtered, and buying reviews is an offence. We report competitors who do it and we do not match them.
02
No keywords in your business name
A profile called Smith Plumbing Portsmouth Emergency Plumber ranks for a month and then loses the profile. The name on the profile is the name on the van.
03
No district pages on a template
Twenty pages with Southsea, Fratton and Copnor swapped in are what Google calls doorway pages. One honest areas page, and real pages only where you really work.
04
No guarantees of position
Nobody can promise a map position, and the ones who do are describing a page they will build under their own account. We promise the work, listed, and the figures.
05
No competitor of yours while you are with us
One business per trade per map centre. If a Southsea cafe is a client, the next Southsea cafe is turned away, and told why.
The first month
Week by week, from the first email to the first report
| Week | What happens | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Before you pay | The free audit: your profile, your site, your reviews, the three businesses above you in your district. A fixed price with it. | Your website address and your trade |
| Week one | Access to the profile and the site, a fifteen-minute conversation about the work you want more of, Search Console connected. | Fifteen minutes, and the logins |
| Week two | The profile rebuilt: categories, services, hours, photographs, the service area drawn to where you work. The review link set up. | Photographs from real jobs, with the district |
| Week three | The first pages live or rewritten, on a private link first, then published when you have read them. | A read-through, and any corrections |
| Week four | The first report: what changed, the figures with their sources, what happens next month. | Nothing; read it and ask questions |
The person
Daniel Stoychev
Developer first, SEO specialist second, which is the right way round: the pages are built by the person who will have to make them rank, and the profile is set up by the person who will read its figures for the next year. There is no account manager between you and the work and no rota of juniors. The same person answers the phone, writes the pages and sends the report.
The method is on the service pages and the prices are on the pricing page, in full, because a business that has to quote its own customers should be able to read ours without booking a call.
