SEO FOR THE INDEPENDENTS

Most local SEO is a subscription for a job that takes 90 days.

Black Hog SEO sorts your Google Business Profile, your website and your local search presence in a fixed 3-month package. Then we hand it back to you. No retainer. No drip-feed. No “trust the process.”

Get the free audit 3-month fixed package. Fixed price. You own the results.

Run by a business owner, not an agency. I own a sash window restoration business. I’ve done my own marketing, taken the calls, and seen what actually brings in work. Black Hog SEO is built on that, not a sales script.

YOU’VE HEARD THIS PITCH BEFORE

“Sign up, trust the process, we’ll rank you #1.”

Most local SEO firms sell independent businesses an open-ended monthly retainer for work that’s mostly done in the first few months. After that, a lot of what you’re paying for is a subscription. That’s why so many small and independent businesses feel burned by SEO: not because SEO doesn’t work, but because what’s sold doesn’t match what’s done.

What they say

“We’re constantly optimising your rankings every single month.”

What they say

“Google changes its algorithm all the time, so this has to be ongoing.”

What they say

“Results take time. Best to commit to 12 months.”

What’s actually true

For a one-person or single-site local business, the heavy lifting (Google Business Profile, your website, your local citations) is a fixed amount of work. It has a start and an end. We tell you what it is, do it, and stop billing you.

The three things that actually matter

Not a hundred-point checklist. These three decide whether local customers find you.

01

Your Google Business Profile

Where most local customers are won or lost. Categories, service areas, photos, Q&A and a proper review engine, set up right, once.

02

Your website, actually working

Technical fixes, page speed, local landing pages and a contact form that converts. A surprising number of enquiries still come through the site, if it’s built to earn them.

03

Local citations & backlinks

Clean, consistent listings across the directories that matter, plus real local links. Basic, unglamorous, and it works.

The Black Hog method: 90 days, then you’re done
