The Importance of SEO for North East Businesses: Elevating Your Digital Presence

Rely on pure guesswork. Let’s dig into why SEO is a bedrock for any business striving for growth in the vibrant North East.

So, Why SEO?

SEO, short for Search Engine Optimisation, is your digital nameplate. Without it, people are less likely to find your business when they search for what you offer. Imagine you’re a bustling café in the heart of Newcastle—people need to see your digital shopfront, too. By making your website SEO-friendly, you ensure that it stands out amid a sea of online options.

Real Impact, Real Results

Many North East businesses have already boosted their reach and visibility through effective SEO strategies, and the results speak volumes. One of our hospitality clients in Newcastle saw a whopping 145% increase in organic traffic to their website. This wasn’t magic—it was a strategic mix of optimising their site’s content, enhancing page speed, and fixing those pesky broken links. Their website became more user-friendly, and Google rewarded them with higher search rankings. Higher search rankings mean more clicks, more customers, and ultimately, more sales.

Finding and Fixing

At Northern, we dig beneath the surface to find exactly what’s holding your business back from online success. Is your website as fast as it could be? Are there broken links that need mending? Our SEO experts are on the case, ensuring everything is working smoothly. We refine website structure, enhance mobile readability, and craft compelling content so your site doesn’t just attract visitors but keeps them engaged.

Not convinced yet? Think of SEO as a continuous savings plan for your business. While paid ads give you a temporary boost, good SEO is a long-term investment. Once your website’s organic presence is established, the traffic keeps coming, compounding over time without you having to pay for each visit.

It’s Not Guesswork; It’s Proven Strategy

The days of guessing what might kickstart your online presence are firmly in the past. We know what works because we’ve seen the results. Whether you’re a local artisan or a tech startup, SEO levels the playing field, giving you a fair shot at being seen and heard online. And let’s face it, if you’re not on the first page of Google, you’re losing out.

We tailor each SEO strategy to your specific needs. Are you looking to boost local footfall in Durham? Perhaps you’re trying to tap into a new market across Sunderland? By tweaking keywords, optimising content, and nurturing backlinks, we ensure your business ranks higher when your potential customers are searching for services or products like yours.

More Than Just Rankings

Yes, SEO brings you higher rankings, but its benefits spill over beyond just being easily found. It fosters credibility and trust with your audience. Users trust search engines to deliver them to reputable businesses. Appearing at the top of search results elevates your business as a leader in your field, driving more traffic and, in turn, more conversions.

Certified SEO Works: A Case Study

Let’s look at a local restaurant in Sunderland we helped. Before they engaged Northern, their online visibility was practically nonexistent. We overhauled their website’s SEO, fixing technical issues, optimising their content plan, and enhancing their site speed. Within weeks, they started showing up on the front page of search results for related keywords. Consequently, their restaurant experienced an 88% increase in online reservations—a tangible boost in their weekly footfall!

We explain every step, so you’re not just seeing results—you’re understanding how those results happen.

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
