Some of the brands we have worked with
Who this is for
Who we help in and around Selby
Based in West Yorkshire, with no Selby office, we can still meet you here in person and train your team at your premises. We work from Gowthorpe and the Abbey outwards, as far as Brayton, Thorpe Willoughby, Tadcaster and Sherburn-in-Elmet. Plumber searches here use the town's name; ones naming Thorpe Willoughby or Sherburn-in-Elmet did not register in our research.
Estate and letting agents
Agent searches here sometimes add "yorkshire" or "uk" to the town's name, and in one August snapshot two Selby agents' own homepages outranked a national portal and chains. We write your sales and lettings pages with every phrasing in mind.
Solicitors, accountants and advisers
National comparison sites often crowd legal and finance results, and accountants here are searched with Selby first or last. We write each service page under a named expert and define it plainly enough for AI assistants to match to a question.
Trades and heating firms
Roofer, electrician and plumber searches naming Selby each show a map pack, and your profile must beat the firms in it. Heating is a specialist sector of ours, and boiler servicing, searched by name here, gets its own page.
New website projects
People here search "web design selby", yet a relaunch can drop pages that already rank. Ahead of launch we list every URL, redirect each one and run a launch-day checklist, then track the site for eight weeks.
What we do
Adviser or advisor: how Selby phrases a search
Mortgage help here is sought as both "adviser" and "advisor", and some searches drop the town altogether: a homeowner by the Abbey with a leak may type only "plumber near me". For a search like that, your Google Business Profile does the introducing: it feeds the map pack, which customers usually see before any website. Our keyword research starts from phrasings like these.
What our SEO agency does for Selby firms
Our SEO Services retainer spans five areas, weighted each month to where your site has most to gain.
The technical base
A Technical SEO audit first, hunting for what quietly caps a site, such as near-duplicate URLs or a menu leaving pages unlinked, then indexation, speed and structured data fixes.
Service pages
Lettings, boiler servicing or whatever you most want enquiries for gets its own page, in the words people here use.
Google Business Profile and listings
Services, posts and photos kept current for the map pack, with consistent contact details on every directory, through Local SEO.
Reputation and press
A routine that keeps genuine reviews coming, and Digital PR stories for local and regional titles, which also support your map pack standing.
Reports in plain words
Your rank in each Selby postcode, your map pack and AI visibility, where enquiries come from, and overall leads and revenue, with written notes.
One Selby results page, read in full
In Ahrefs' August 2026 snapshot of "estate agents selby", three agents filled the map pack. The first three organic places below went to two Selby agents' own homepages and a Yorkshire agency's Selby page, all above a national property portal, chain branch pages and a comparison site, though the portal's backlink profile is far stronger. Where your sector looks similar, we make your pages plainly about Selby and the villages you serve.
Asking an assistant for a Selby letting agent
A landlord choosing a letting agent can now ask ChatGPT or Gemini. Its answer depends on what it can read about each agent: the Google Business Profile that competes for that three-agent map pack, reviews, the lettings page, directory listings. If those disagree, say a lettings service on the profile that the website never mentions, the model has less reason to cite that agent. Our Generative Engine Optimisation work gets every source telling the same story, then builds up what else assistants weigh: fresh reviews and local discussion of you. We check Bing too, as its index feeds ChatGPT's search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Less for a firm chasing one Selby map pack than for one facing national comparison sites: price follows your competition and your site's size. Contracts run three months, then monthly, and we set a figure only after reviewing your site on a call.
Begin with your trading name, address and phone number, written exactly as your website shows them. Then complete every section: the category for your main service, the hours you actually take calls, a full service list and genuine photos. Our Local SEO work covers the set-up.
Faster on some searches than others. Those your local rivals hold most firmly typically take six to twelve months, but repairs to your existing pages, technical and on-page, tend to show within four to eight weeks, since fixing what you have pays off before new content does.
Ask how they will prove progress. A credible agency records a baseline first, then runs the same buyer prompts monthly and logs whether you are named, linked and placed ahead of rivals. Be wary of anyone promising you a mention.
Through tickets your developer can act on straight away. About half our clients have in-house marketing or development staff. For them we write tickets, specifications and content briefs in the team's own system, then check each change after release.
Make asking part of how each job ends, whether that is handing over keys or signing off a new roof, so requests never lapse. Answer each review as well; genuine reviews arriving steadily count towards your place in the map pack.
