Why your sector changes the plan
SEO for a dentist looks very different from SEO for a builder. The searches are different, the way customers decide is different and even the parts of Google that matter are different. Most local firms start with local SEO in Birmingham and build from there. Dentists live and die by the map pack, online shops by category pages, law firms by practice area pages and solicitor profiles.
That is why we plan every account around its sector first. Each page in this section explains how search works in that sector in Birmingham, how many firms compete, what customers search for and where most businesses go wrong online.
If your sector is not listed yet, it will be soon. We are adding more pages over the coming months, and the same approach applies to any business that serves customers in Birmingham.

What every sector plan includes
Sector research
The searches your customers use, how many people search and who holds page one.
Pages that fit
Service, treatment, practice area or category pages written for your customers.
Local presence
A Business Profile set up with the right categories for your sector.
Reviews routine
A way of asking for reviews that suits how your customers buy.
Sector links
Mentions from trade bodies, suppliers and sector publications.
Sector reporting
Bookings, quotes, matters or sales, whatever counts in your sector.
More sectors on the way
Over the coming months we are adding pages for roofers, financial advisers, salons, training providers, hotels, architects, manufacturers, recruitment agencies, engineering firms, franchises, cleaning companies, landscapers and property developers.
If you work in one of those sectors, or any other, the free audit works the same way. We research your searches and rivals before suggesting anything, and our SEO Birmingham plans cover every sector at the same published prices.
Results across sectors
Ten local clients, 7 months, organic and Business Profile sources only.
How to choose an agency for your sector
Ask any agency what they know about your sector before they talk about SEO. A good answer covers how your customers search, which rivals they would watch and what usually goes wrong on sites like yours. A weak answer jumps straight to keywords and links.
Ask for proof from a similar business, even if it is in another country. The methods transfer well between markets, and real numbers from a similar business tell you more than a list of awards.
Finally, ask how they handle sector rules. Healthcare, legal, financial and aesthetics businesses all have rules about what they can say, and an agency that ignores them can create real problems.
We are happy to answer all of these on a call, and our sector pages go into detail for each one.
