What we do

SEO at Essheo is one retainer, not a menu of add-ons. Each month your account runs across five workstreams, weighted to wherever the biggest gains are for your site at that point.

What our SEO service covers

  1. Technical foundations

    Crawlability, indexation, site speed, structured data and the fixes that stop Google wasting crawl budget on pages that will never rank.

  2. Content strategy and production

    Topical maps built around the questions your buyers actually ask, written by people who understand the sector, then optimised for both traditional results and AI-generated answers.

  3. Authority building

    Links and mentions earned through digital PR, community placement and partnerships, never bought from networks.

  4. Local and multi-location search

    Google Business Profile, citations, location pages and review strategy for businesses that serve a geography.

  5. Measurement

    Search Console, rank tracking, AI prompt tracking and revenue attribution reported in one dashboard you can read in five minutes.

  • Why senior-only matters in SEO

    Most agencies sell you their director's expertise and deliver their graduate's time. That model works for easy sectors. It fails in the ones we specialise in: heating, solar, home improvement, finance, legal and e-commerce, where the top results are held by MoneySuperMarket, Checkatrade, national comparison sites and retailers with seven-figure budgets. Beating them takes judgement that only comes from years of doing it, so that is who works your account. We keep the client list deliberately short to make that possible.

  • SEO that survives AI search

    Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini all draw from the same signals traditional SEO builds: clear entity definitions, structured content, authoritative mentions and a technically clean site. We treat those as one discipline. Every page we optimise is checked for how it reads to a search engine and how it reads to a language model assembling an answer, which is why our clients keep appearing when the result is a generated paragraph rather than ten blue links. Our Generative Engine Optimisation service goes deeper on this; the SEO retainer builds the foundations it relies on.

  • Who we work with

    Businesses that sell something with a considered purchase behind it: trades and installers, professional services, e-commerce stores on Shopify and WooCommerce, B2B companies with long sales cycles, and multi-location service businesses. If your buyers research before they buy, we can put you in front of that research wherever it happens.

What you get each month

  • A named senior SEO who owns your account and joins every call
  • A written monthly plan agreed in advance, so you always know what is being worked on
  • Implementation done for you, or documented for your developers if you prefer to keep it in-house
  • Reporting on rankings, AI visibility, traffic, leads and revenue, with commentary rather than charts alone
  • No long lock-in: rolling monthly after an initial three-month term

How it works

How the first ninety days run

  • Step 1 of 4: Weeks one and two

    Weeks one and two are audit and planning: a full technical crawl, content gap analysis against your three strongest competitors, keyword and prompt research, and a prioritised roadmap. We compress this on purpose so that less of your budget goes on reporting and more goes on implementation.

  • Step 2 of 4: From week three

    From week three we ship quick wins: the technical fixes with the largest crawl and index impact, the pages closest to page one that need one more push, and the internal linking changes that redistribute authority to money pages.

  • Step 3 of 4: Months two and three

    Months two and three move into the content and authority programme, with the first new pages live and the first placements earned.

  • Step 4 of 4: By day ninety

    By day ninety you have a clear read on trajectory and the roadmap for the rest of the year.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick wins from technical and on-page work usually show within four to eight weeks. Competitive head terms in the sectors we work in take six to twelve months to move meaningfully. We aim to have the retainer paying for itself in the first few months through the pages that are already close to ranking.
