Search marketing you can measure, month by month
Sheffield SEO is a specialist search team with more than 12 years behind it. We help service firms, clinics, professional practices, online shops and manufacturers across the city turn Google searches into calls, forms and sales, with every price on the site and no long contract.
No VAT added, no setup fee and 30 days notice to stop. A one-off Kickstart is £245.
Revenue logged from organic search and Google Business Profile across 10 US clients in 7 months. Paid ads excluded.
If your monthly report shows no measurable visibility gain by day 90, the fourth month costs nothing.

Mixed service businessesFigures are what each client logged in their own call tracking. Paid ads rows are never counted, and clients are named by business type only.
Our team covers the whole job: technical fixes, the pages themselves, your Google Business Profile, links and citations, and the monthly report. You deal with one team and pay one monthly price, so nothing falls between a web designer, a copywriter and an ads freelancer.
We are a remote specialist agency and we say so plainly. There is no office on West Street to visit. Instead you get video calls, a named contact on our team, replies inside UK working hours and a report you can read in five minutes.
Most of the firms we work with are owner-run. They want to know what changed this month and what it brought in, not a slide deck. So each report opens with calls and forms, then explains the work behind them and what comes next.
Six ways in, depending on where your business is now. Each page sets out what is included and which package it sits in.
Everything we do on one page, with what each part involves and costs.
See services → Map packNearby searches and the map pack across every S postcode in the city.
Local SEO → ProfileCategories, services, photos, posts and reviews kept up every month.
Profile management → Owner-run firmsPlans sized for firms with no marketing staff and a tight budget.
Small business SEO → Under the bonnetAudits, speed, migrations and indexing faults fixed at the source.
Technical SEO → AdviceOne-off audits and expert advice when you already have someone in-house.
Consultant →Most of our clients rely on the phone ringing or the enquiry form filling up: trades, clinics, professional firms, garages, agents and makers. Each sector searches and gets searched for in its own way, so each one gets its own plan rather than a template.
The city has around 280 plumbing and heating firms, 330 electricians, 260 accountancy practices, 305 private clinics and 1,070 manufacturers, and several of those sectors make up a bigger share of local firms here than across the five large UK cities we track. Heating engineers can see how we approach the map pack on our page about SEO for plumbers in Sheffield.
Making things still sets this city apart. Sheffield has about 1,070 manufacturing businesses, 335 firms in metal products and fabrication and 390 engineering consultancies. Metal work alone runs at close to twice the share we see in other large UK cities.
Industrial buyers rarely search like a homeowner. A procurement lead types a process, a material or a tolerance: stainless laser cutting, five-axis machining, coded welding, pressure vessel fabrication. We build pages around those capabilities, write case pages your sales team can send to a buyer, and clear the technical faults that keep older industrial websites out of Google's index.
The research and supply chain around the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the wider Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District keeps bringing new specialists to South Yorkshire. More of them now compete for the same specialist terms, which makes a clear capability page worth more each year.

About 17,310 businesses are registered in the city. Another 24,830 sit in Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham, and roughly 17,500 more in north Derbyshire around Chesterfield, Dronfield and the Peak District towns. Around 28% of the city's firms are in the Sheffield Central constituency, which is why searches aimed at the centre are the most crowded.
Page one here is a mix of large agencies that rank on the strength of their whole website and a handful of small specialists. Several of the strongest pages say very little about the city: no prices, no local detail and no answers to the questions buyers ask. That leaves room for a business that explains its work properly.
The map pack works the same way. A firm with a complete profile, steady reviews and one good page per service often outranks bigger names that never filled theirs in.

Every package price is published, with no VAT added, no setup fee and 30 days notice to stop.
The day 90 check. If your monthly report shows no measurable visibility gain by day 90, month four is free. It is based on the metrics we report to you, never on rankings.
Full price listTwo service businesses that rely on the phone ringing, much like many of the firms we work with in Sheffield.
Seven months of profile and organic search work brought $63,251 in revenue logged through call tracking, across 206 conversions. The Google Business Profile produced $36,371 of it and Google's organic results $26,880. The client ran Google Ads separately, and none of that spend or revenue is counted here.
Monthly calls and forms from search grew from 56 in the first month to 173 by month ten, with 1,340 contacts across 11 months. Most came through the Google Business Profile (973) and the rest from organic results (363). The practice did not track revenue, so we report contacts only.
We work with firms in the surrounding towns as well as the city. Each town page uses that town's own business mix and its own search results, never this page with the name swapped.
Four steps, with the time each one takes. You can stop at the end of any month.

Get my free auditLocal solo studios publish prices of around £199 to £349 a month, and small agencies tend to quote £400 to £2,000. Our monthly packages run from £189 to £329, plus a £245 one-off Kickstart, all with no VAT added and no setup fee.
Profile fixes can show in the map pack within a few weeks. New pages usually need three to six months to settle into strong positions, and competitive city centre terms take longer. Your monthly report shows the movement, so you can judge progress early.
For most firms with a clear service area, yes. One or two extra jobs, patients or clients a month usually cover the Local package. Page one and the map pack reward complete profiles, reviews and clear service pages, all things a smaller business can win on.
No. We are a remote specialist team and will not pretend otherwise. You get video calls, a named contact, replies from 8am to 4pm UK time and the same monthly reporting a local agency would give you.
Yes. Each of the four has its own page, and we work with firms across South Yorkshire and north Derbyshire, including the Peak District towns. Targeting several towns at once usually fits the National package.
Yes, it is part of the Local package. We handle categories, services, photos, posts, questions and a simple review routine. Our page on Google Business Profile management sets out every task in detail.
No fixed term. Every package runs month to month with 30 days notice and no setup fee. If the work is not paying for itself, you can stop.
Yes. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and similar tools lean on the same signals: clear pages, consistent business details and mentions on trusted sites. We build those into the monthly work and report on AI visibility where it can be measured.
Ads bring calls the day you switch them on and stop the day you switch them off. SEO takes longer but keeps working without a cost per click. Many firms run both at first and trim ad spend as organic enquiries build.
Yes. Send your website and we check your visibility, speed, profile and competitors, then return 3 quick wins within one working day. There is no obligation to buy anything.
Sheffield SEO audits come back within one working day, with three fixes you can make straight away. Send your website and we will take it from there.
