Let’s face it – SEO can feel like a black box. You’re told you need it, but no one really explains what it is, how it works, or why your site still isn’t showing up on Google. Sound familiar?

That’s where I come in.

At That Digital Guru, I work with local, independent businesses to take the mystery out of SEO. Whether you run a salon, a plumbing company, a bakery, or a boutique, I’ll help you show up when your customers are searching.

No fluff. No jargon. Just smart, honest strategies that actually work for small businesses with real budgets.

What I Actually Do (In Plain English)

You don’t need to know how Google’s algorithm works—that’s my job. What you need is a clear plan, smart SEO strategies, and someone you trust to help your business show up where your customers are searching.

I focus on getting your business in front of people in your area—the ones searching for your services right now.

How long does SEO take to work?

Great question, and the honest answer is: it depends. Most local businesses start to see noticeable improvements within 2 to 3 months, but meaningful, long-lasting results build over time. SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, but the long-term payoff is worth it.

Do I need SEO if I’m already running Google Ads?

Yes! Google Ads are great for quick wins, but SEO builds your visibility organically, meaning you’re not paying every time someone clicks. The two work really well together: ads bring fast traffic, SEO builds a foundation for consistent, long-term growth.

Can you guarantee I’ll rank #1 on Google?

No one can honestly guarantee a #1 ranking (and if they do – run). What I can promise is a smart, data-driven strategy that improves your visibility, increases traffic, and helps you outrank your local competitors over time.

What’s included in your SEO service?

My SEO packages typically include:

Monthly reports and ongoing optimisation

We’ll tailor everything based on your business, goals, and location.

Full website & keyword audit

On-page SEO fixes (titles, content, structure)

Google Business Profile optimisation

Local keyword targeting

I’m a local business—do I need SEO?

Absolutely. Local SEO helps you show up when people near you search for what you offer, think ā€œplumber near meā€ or ā€œNottingham hair salon.ā€ If you’re not showing up in those local search results, you’re missing out on ready-to-buy customers.

Will I need to write content?

It helps, but you don’t have to. If blogging or content creation isn’t your thing, I can write SEO-friendly content for you, or help you repurpose what you already have into something Google (and your customers) will love.

How do I know if SEO is working?

You’ll receive easy-to-understand monthly reports that show your keyword rankings, website traffic, and leads or sales that come from organic search. No confusing graphs, just real insights and results you can see.
