Short version of long story - looking to get into local SEO services for small businesses along with managing Adwords accounts.
For last 4 months Ive been self teaching SEO / Adwords to get my new website for external cleaning up the rankings and tbh have enjoyed it and had success with organically getting it from nowhere to top of page 2 which when I take the next step will get me to page 1.
The next step is buying various software that will allow me to reverse engineer competitors websites and analyse their organic keywords along with their whole website from top to bottom other software will help me improve search engine visibility with emphasis on local marketing and the google map 3 pack - software not cheap so little ott just for my own site.
Currently thinking I may offer this service out to paying customers (when I have more knowledge) towards end of year so that's the reason for this post as I have struggled previously to find a trustworthy company to do my SEO at a sensible price (most seo firms cant be bothered with small spending customers)
Looking to help for no charge 2 window cleaners from here with a website in place that perhaps is not ranking as high as it can - don't assume your on page 1 of google unless you have totally cleared your "manage your google activity" in your account settings (will stick a link up at some point to YouTube showing the less techy how this is done) or at least searched on google "in private".
Ideally I can get you up to page 1 at no cost from me - you may need to pay someone to update your web site though - then if it all works out you can give me a glowing reference I can show to potential future customers.
Only stipulation is you cant be from the areas I cover which is North Wales and Chester unless its just residential window cleaning which I no longer offer.
If your interested reply to this post with your web address and any particular problems your having with it regarding ranking and visibility in searches.
For the two I take on I will analyse 3 of your higher ranking competitors and tell you what you need to do.
One last thing - seo don't happen overnight so looking at 3 to 4 months to see results though some improvement can be almost immediately and as I still do everything but windows this will be a side project so you will have to bear with me some weeks.

Here you are Ian. A commercial website for commercial work in London. A nice project to get your teeth into and well worth a glowing reference should you be able to do something with it. It's been up and running for one month.

Hi Ian,
I have just had a website sorted, and just starting out on my window cleaning career, let me know if this is a site you would like to use. It's hosted by Squarespace.
www.wrightbright.co.uk
Ps. It's not completely finished, need to amend some of the text, but 99% there.
Cheers,
Ollie

Hi Paul got the 2 I needed plus doing a mates already so don't want to over commit - will give u a shout if I can fit you in :)
-
Ollie and Matt you have mail :)
-
So what have I been doing - well 2 different jobs as both guys are in different stages -
Matt's site www.commercial-window-cleaners-in-london.co.uk
is in a better position quality wise already and don't need much doing to it to get perfect so have been taking a look at some of his competitors keywords and rankings - have passed a list with over 1000 keywords that other firms are getting found for so he can take the best from it and gave a list of long tail keywords that get over 200 hits a month and rank their sites on the first page - don't mean Matt will suddenly be on page 1 but saves a lot of time by going after the best keywords to start with. Some surprises in there.
Ollie's site www.wrightbright.co.uk is currently blocked from being crawled by my seo programme by a no index tag ? which tbh I think has been left in place in error by its writer so cant do a full proper quality audit but done keyword research that will avoid him going head to head against the competition in the area and found some easier ranking keywords for him to go for ... the meta tags and descriptions have been reworked to include the new keywords that I have found so these with his desired keyword will give him a boost - also now on facebook ... google my business and have found some more local directories to be added onto.
The next job is to look at the competitors back links and to isolate the good ones with a good ranking which is all for another day.
We now have a baseline to work from with some starting scores and ranks so time will tell.
-
Yes, thanks Ian. Im more confused now than I was half an hour ago thats for sure. ???
-
well the 2 guys are making changes to their sites and I can see the improvements ... Ollie's site has now been unblocked by the company that wrote it so can now be scanned by my software and tbh quite a few errors but there getting worked on so he will see improvements over the new few weeks.
My site was full of errors which can be seen in the photo1 and tbh was a lot higher but didn't take a photo however photo 2 shows where its currently at with a little work to be done on page content.
photo 3 shows what my organic search results will be (possibly) once I sort out the other problems
Some of my keywords are starting to rank already and have moved up the ranks such as render cleaning now in position 67 wasn't even ranking last week, window cleaners chester now at 82 was at 98 and window cleaning Wirral wasn't ranking but now at 54 ..... the way this works is each page of google has 10 spaces for organic listings so 98 is at bottom of page 9 ... postions 1 to 10 is the first page ..... my keyword of patio cleaning Wrexham wasn't ranking at all but now on page 1 position 6 (happy days)
