For Sheffield Gutter Services, Google Search clicks to the service pages and guides went from 34 to 143, comparing July–September 2026 with the same months of 2025. Read the case study.
I look at SEO like a business owner, because I've been one for more than 25 years.
I've spent more than 25 years running businesses, and nearly five working professionally in SEO and digital marketing. I've built websites and apps along the way, so I'm as comfortable with the technical side as I am with the commercial one.
That background shapes how I work. Rankings and traffic matter, but only because of what they lead to: enquiries, customers and sales. If a piece of work isn't likely to make a worthwhile difference to your business, I'll tell you, and I won't sell it to you.

You don't need to know what's wrong before you call.
Most people get in touch with a problem, not a service in mind. These are the ones I hear most.
Not appearing where you should on Google?
I'll look at how you show up in search and on Google Maps, who's above you and why, and what it would realistically take to close the gap.
Usually a job for SEOWebsite needs sorting?
Slow, dated, awkward to update or just not bringing in enquiries. I can improve what you have or build something better.
Usually a job for WebsitesCompetitor suddenly everywhere?
I'll find out what they've changed and whether it matters. Sometimes it calls for a response, and sometimes it doesn't.
Usually a job for SEOSomething broken?
A form that's stopped sending, tracking that's stopped counting, an update that's taken something down. I'll fix it where I can, or help you find the right person to.
Usually a job for Digital supportNot sure what the problem is?
That's common, and it's a fine place to start. Tell me what you're seeing and I'll work out what's behind it.

Check how visible your business is on Google near you
Run a free check on how your business appears when people nearby search for what you do, and where the gaps are.
If you'd rather talk it through, ask me to take a look and I'll check it myself.
What happens after you get in touch
I don't start with a package. I start by finding out what's going on.
Understand the business
What you sell, who buys it, where the profit is and what you want more of.
Find the opportunity
I look at your website, your visibility on Google, your competitors and what customers are searching for, using your analytics and search data where it's available.
Prioritise what matters
You get a short list of what's most likely to make a difference, in plain English, with a realistic view of what to expect.
Do the work, or advise
I carry out what we agree. If something is better handled another way, I'll say so.
Watch what happens
I keep an eye on the results and adjust as things change.
You won't get passed around an agency.
When you work with Grow Local, you work directly with me. I get to know your business, so you don't have to explain it again every time you ring.
If something changes, breaks or you simply want to talk through an idea, you can call me.
People ring me when
- something has gone wrong
- they've had an idea and want a second opinion
- the website is playing up
- a competitor has appeared from nowhere
- they need to choose software or a supplier
- they can't tell what the problem is
Being able to pick up the phone is part of working with me. What's included in the work itself is agreed up front, and if something falls outside it I'll tell you what's involved before I start.
Not sure what you need? That's fine.
Tell me about the business and I'll take a look. If I can help, I'll say how. If I can't, I'll say that too.
