SEO in Northampton

If you are looking for SEO in Northampton, you probably want one simple thing: more local people finding your business on Google. We are Ecomm Development, based in Kingsley, Northampton, and our local SEO service is built for small businesses that want to see clearly where they rank and what is being done about it. If you have spoken to an SEO agency in Northampton before and come away with a long contract and a report you could not read, this works differently.

Local SEO for Northampton businesses, from £70 a month

Our local SEO and social management starts from £70 a month, with no contract. Here is what is included:

• Google Business Profile set up and managed. Categories, services, opening hours, photos and description filled in properly, then kept up to date.
• Weekly Google Maps rank scans. We check where you appear on Google Maps from a grid of points across your area, every week. The results come back as a coloured map: green where you are in the top three, red where you are nowhere.
• Posts from one screen. We prepare posts for your website, Google and Facebook. You see them on one screen, approve the ones you like, and they go out.

The rank map is the part clients find most useful. You can see which parts of Northampton you show up in and which you do not, and watch that change over time.

Website SEO work

Google Maps is driven by your Business Profile, but your website still matters. On client sites we handle the on-page work that helps Google understand and trust you:

Titles, descriptions and alt text

Every page gets a title and description written for the searches your customers use, and every image gets alt text that describes it.

Structured data

Code that tells Google your business name, address, opening hours, products and FAQs in a format it can read directly.

Indexing and Search Console

We set up Google Search Console, fix pages Google is not indexing, and check for errors that stop pages appearing.

Area pages

If you serve several towns, a useful page for each one gives Google a reason to show you to people searching there.

Case study: Airport Taxi Links

Airport Taxi Links runs airport transfers from Slough. We built their booking site and a set of 17 Gatwick route pages, each one written for a specific journey with its own distance and fare information, plus a Gatwick hub page linking them together. Route pages like these give Google a clear page to show for each search. Read the Airport Taxi Links case study.

We use the same weekly rank tracking for Volt & Spoke, a mobile bike repair business in Glasgow, alongside its area pages.

Why it is run by someone who sells online

Mike, who runs Ecomm Development, also runs the online side of a roughly £12m multi-channel retailer, where direct web revenue grew from about £300k to £2.2m in under two years. Search traffic and Google Shopping played a big part in that. The same habits apply to small local businesses: measure where you are, fix the basics properly, and keep posting.

What it costs

Local SEO and social management is from £70 a month, no contract. If your website needs work first, websites are from £250 one-off (tiers £250, £495 and £795), you own the site, and we build a free homepage preview before you pay. See the pricing page or our Shopify SEO and Google Ads page for online shops.
