Leeds local · Pudsey LS28
SEO agency in Leeds, for Leeds businesses.
Get found on Google by the people in Leeds searching for what you do right now. Not "plumber" across the whole country, the winnable search: "plumber in Leeds", "barber LS28", "garage near me". Run by one person from Pudsey, I sort the local-SEO basics that genuinely move the needle, a claimed Google Business Profile, LocalBusiness schema, fast mobile-first pages and clear titles, from £49 a month. Get found, get booked, get paid. One bill, no lock-in, you always get Jordan.
Who I do SEO for
If you are a Leeds business and customers are Googling what you do, this is for you.
You run the business; I get you found. Local search is the prize, and it is far more winnable than chasing national rankings. Be fast, look the part on a phone, show up in the Local Pack and on the map, and make booking or ringing easy. That is what I build for.
Trades
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, joiners, decorators, locksmiths. When someone Googles 'plumber Pudsey' or 'electrician LS28', you want to be the one in the Local Pack, not on page two.
Healthcare clinics
Dentists, physios, chiropractors, aesthetic clinics. Rank for 'dentist near me' in Leeds, fill every Google Business Profile field, and turn map searches into booked appointments.
Beauty & hair
Hairdressers, barbers, beauty salons, nail bars. A Google Maps tile that converts, reviews that pull in front of the big chains, and a site that loads before a thumb gets bored.
Motor
Garages, MOT centres, car dealers, valeting, tyre shops. One indexed page per service so 'MOT Leeds' and 'tyres LS27' both find you, with 'call now' on every page.
Hospitality
Cafés, restaurants, takeaways. Show up for 'takeaway near me', with hours and menu front-and-centre and a phone number that is one tap on mobile.
Home services
Removals, cleaners, gardeners, tree surgeons, skip hire. Make your service area and postcodes obvious, so a customer in Bradford knows you cover them before they call.
The local-SEO essentials
The six basics that decide whether you show up.
There is no trick and no paid shortcut. Anyone selling you Page 1 in 30 days is selling you ad spend dressed up as SEO. Getting found on Google is a handful of basics done properly, then being patient. These six decide whether a Leeds business shows up on Google Maps and in the Local Pack. For the longer version, read getting found on Google, then the deeper SEO playbook. The first of the six has a page of its own: Google Business Profile optimisation.
A claimed Google Business Profile
Free, and separate from your website, but for a lot of local searches it is the first and last thing a customer sees. Claim it, fill every field, add ten or more photos, keep your hours current, and ask happy customers for reviews.
LocalBusiness schema markup
schema.org structured data that tells Google 'this is a LocalBusiness, here are the opening hours, here is the address'. It helps Google understand you faster and earns the rich results that stand out in search.
Address, postcode and service area as text
Not just buried in a map embed. Make your LS postcodes and the towns you cover obvious on every relevant page, so Google and your customers both know exactly where you work.
One indexed page per service
Each with a clear, unique title and a meta description under 160 characters that actually mentions what you do and where. These are what people see in search, and they decide whether anyone clicks.
Sub-1.2-second loading on mobile
Google measures Core Web Vitals and ranks accordingly, on the phone version of your site, not the desktop one. A fast, clear page beats a bigger competitor's slow, dated one.
HTTPS and a mobile-first build
Non-negotiable in 2026, and a small ranking signal on its own. Google ranks the mobile version first, so the phone experience has to be the good one.
All six are built into every site I run, from £49/month upward. The basics are not a bolt-on here, they ship as standard. If your current site needs the work doing on it, that is the managed website service, and if you also need a faster, cleaner site to build on, see web design in Leeds.

FAQ
Leeds SEO, answered.
How long does SEO take to work in Leeds?
It is a long game, but a fair one. Local search builds over weeks and months as Google crawls your site and trust accumulates. Anyone selling you Page 1 in 30 days is selling you ad spend dressed up as SEO. The groundwork, a claimed Google Business Profile, fast pages, clear titles and schema, is what counts, and it keeps paying you back.
Do I really need to rank for 'plumber Leeds' rather than just 'plumber'?
Yes. You are not trying to rank for 'plumber' across the whole country. You are trying to be the plumber who shows up when someone nearby searches 'plumber in Leeds' or 'plumber LS28'. That is local search, and it is far more winnable. The way you win it is to make your service area and LS postcodes obvious on every relevant page, not just the contact one.
What is the Google Business Profile and why does it matter so much?
Your free Google Business Profile is separate from your website but just as important: it is what puts you on the map, literally, with your reviews, hours and phone number. For a lot of local searches in Leeds, the profile card is the first and last thing a customer sees. Claim it, fill every field, add ten or more photos, and ask happy customers for reviews. Ignoring it is the biggest unforced error a local business makes.
Does site speed actually affect SEO?
Yes. Google measures Core Web Vitals and ranks accordingly, and it ranks the phone version of your site, not the desktop one. Sub-1.2-second Largest Contentful Paint on mobile is the real bar. A small Leeds business with a fast, clear, well-built site beats a bigger competitor with a slow, dated one.
Is this SEO work, or a website rebuild?
Both, if you want it. The local-SEO basics, proper titles and descriptions, schema.org markup, sub-second loading and a mobile-first build, are built into every site I run, from £49/month upward. If your current site is holding you back, I rebuild it on fast, UK or EU-based hosting; if it is sound, I do the visibility work on top.
Do I have to be in Leeds to work with you?
No. I am Pudsey-based (LS28) but the work happens remotely over email and video calls, so it makes no difference whether you are round the corner or across Yorkshire. I work with businesses across Leeds, the LS postcodes and the surrounding cities, and beyond.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No. One simple monthly bill, cancel any time, no lock-in. You own your code and your domain throughout, so you can walk away with everything whenever you like.
