A Birmingham SEO agency that only does SEO
Plenty of agencies in the city list SEO alongside web design, paid ads, branding and social media. That is a fair model, but it means search is one line on a long menu, and the person doing it is often switching between five kinds of work in a day.
We took the opposite route. Search is the only thing we sell, so every hour in your plan goes on the work that moves rankings and enquiries: fixing what stops Google reading your site, writing pages that answer what buyers type, earning links from real sites and running your map listing.
It also keeps our advice honest. We have no website rebuild to sell you, so if your current site can rank with fixes, we will say so and fix it. That focus is what SEO Birmingham clients pay us for.
What a Birmingham SEO company should show you before you sign
Six things you can check on any provider's website or proposal. If they are missing, ask for them in writing.
Prices
A monthly figure, what it includes and whether VAT is added. Ours sit on the pricing page: £299, £379 or £549 a month, no VAT added.
Contract terms
Length, notice period and any setup fee. Long lock-ins usually protect the agency, not you. Ours roll monthly with 30 days notice.
Who does the work
Whether the team you meet is the team doing the work, or whether it is passed to freelancers you never speak to.
Proof with numbers
Results with periods and sources, ideally with the screenshot. Be wary of percentages with no starting point.
Reporting
What you will see each month: enquiries, rankings, traffic and a list of work done. Ask to see a sample report.
No guarantees
Nobody controls Google. A promise of first place is a reason to walk away, not a reason to sign.
The team behind your campaign
Your plan is shared across five roles. Each one owns part of the work and signs it off in the monthly report.
Strategist
Picks the search terms worth chasing, sets the order of work and checks each month whether the plan still makes sense for your goals.
Technical lead
Runs the crawl, fixes speed and indexing problems, sets up schema and checks every change before it goes live.
Content writer
Writes and rewrites service pages, location pages and guides in UK English, using what your customers actually ask.
Outreach lead
Finds sites that would link to you for a good reason, from Midlands press to trade bodies, and pitches them by hand.
Account lead
Your single contact. Answers emails during UK hours, runs the monthly call and makes sure the work matches what was agreed.

What you get from a Birmingham SEO agency each month
The exact mix depends on your plan, but every client gets these as standard.
Rank tracking
Your agreed search terms checked across the city, including the map pack, so you can see movement street by street.
Technical checks
A crawl of your site to catch broken pages, slow templates and indexing problems before they cost you traffic.
New or improved pages
At least one page written or rebuilt every month, aimed at a search your customers already use.
Map listing work
Posts, photos, categories and review requests for your Google Business Profile on local plans.
AI answer checks
How ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews describe your business, with fixes for anything they get wrong.
Report and call
A written report covering enquiries, rankings and work done, followed by a call to agree next month.
Working across the Midlands
We are a remote team, which is why our prices sit below the Birmingham agencies with offices on Colmore Row or at Brindleyplace. You still get a named account lead, a video call to start, a written plan and replies between 8am and 4pm UK time.
Most of our work is the same wherever the client sits, but local search is not. We track Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country separately, because the map pack in Walsall looks nothing like the one in the Colmore business district.
If you serve customers in several towns, our local SEO work adds a page for each area, written from a search check done inside that town.
