SEO services: get found by the people already looking for you

What SEO actually consists of

Three layers, in a fixed order. Technical: your pages have to be found, read and indexed, and load fast on a phone. Content: your page has to answer the search better than the pages above you. Authority: other sites have to point at you. Skip a layer and the ones above it stop working.

That order is not optional. A page that is not in the index cannot rank for anything, no matter how well it is written. And a brilliantly written page in a market where every competitor has three hundred referring domains will not break into the top three on merit alone.

For most small and medium businesses the biggest gain sits in the middle layer. There are already pages; they simply answer the search question nearly, but not quite, well enough. Rewriting those is faster and cheaper than building anything new.

What a month of SEO looks like

A fixed cycle, because search visibility is maintenance work. Every month the positions, the technical health, the content and the links come past. What moves gets more attention. What is stuck gets analysed for cause rather than more of the same.

1. 1

   Review positions and traffic

   Which keywords rose, which fell, and which sit just outside the top ten? That last group is the shortest route to more visitors every single month.

2. 2

   Check the technical health

   Crawl errors, indexing problems, load time and broken links. Usually half an hour, unless something was migrated or published that quietly broke.

3. 3

   Write or rewrite content

   One to three pages a month, chosen where the ratio between effort and return is most favourable.

4. 4

   Lay internal links

   Point the pages that already perform at the pages that sit just out of reach, with descriptive anchor text. This is the cheapest thing you can do and the most commonly skipped.

5. 5

   Build authority

   Mentions and links from sites that matter in your market. Quality over quantity, always.

6. 6

   Report and adjust

   A short video showing what was done, what it did and what happens next month. Not a dashboard with thirty charts nobody reads.

Why a Dutch agency for a European market?

Because search behaviour is local but the craft is not. The technical work, the content structure and the authority building are identical in Rotterdam and in Manchester. What differs is the language of the search and the competition in it, and that is research, not a different discipline.

What you do get is a different cost base. Agency rates in the Netherlands sit well below those in London, while the standard of work is comparable. Our hourly rate is € 90,-, where a comparable UK agency typically charges a multiple of that.

What you should check before hiring any agency abroad: who writes the content, and in which language. We write English content in British English, and for markets we do not have native command of, we are upfront that the copy needs a native check before it goes live.
