A proper starting point

Start with your business.
Build around the brief.

A business with several services, products or decision-makers needs a search structure that makes the offer easy to understand. I’m Sam Jay Heaton, a Wigan-based developer working with Manchester businesses on SEO, content and the technical changes needed to support them.

A broad service page can introduce the business, but a specialist buyer may need more detail before making contact. I help organise the main services and supporting pages around distinct requirements, rather than give several near-identical pages different keyword labels.

For a B2B or technical service, that can mean explaining the problem, the implementation process, relevant work and the information needed for a proposal. The content should help a person choose, not simply repeat a search phrase.

The detail behind the work

A considered approach.
From the start.

The choices, practical details and support that shape your project.

01

Use the development work to support the content

Useful search content can be limited by the way the website is built. I can review templates, navigation, internal links and indexability, then implement the agreed improvements or coordinate them with your existing team.

That joined-up role is useful when a business already has marketing staff or another supplier. The goal is a workable plan with clear responsibilities, not a second set of recommendations that no one can apply.

02

Match the plan to the business model

Local customer acquisition, nationwide consultancy and e-commerce need different priorities. We establish who buys, where the service can be delivered and which pages support the commercial goal before choosing the work.

For online stores, an e-commerce SEO service starts from £400 plus VAT a month with a defined scope. Other projects are quoted after review. A local page does not imply that every service has the same price or needs the same campaign.

03

Clear reporting and direct contact

I use available Search Console, analytics and research evidence with its dates and limits made clear. We look for useful visibility and relevant enquiries, while allowing time for changes to be crawled and measured.

You work directly with me from my Wigan base. Tell me the services or products you want to grow and who handles the site today; I can suggest a focused review and an implementation plan.

Tools with a purpose.

  • Google Search Console
  • Bing Webmaster Tools
  • Google Analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity
  • Ahrefs

I use website data and research tools together to understand what to improve, then connect the recommendations with the work on your site.

Google Search Console

Google search queries, pages, indexing and technical visibility.

Bing Webmaster Tools

Bing search visibility, sitemap and crawling information.

Google Analytics

How visitors use the website and the conversions configured for your business.

Microsoft Clarity

Session and interaction insights where configured with appropriate privacy controls.

Ahrefs

Link research, competitor analysis and technical audit information alongside your measured data.
