Search for a service in Newport and Google will happily show you firms from Cardiff, Bristol and everywhere in between. That is the problem an SEO agency Newport businesses hire has to solve first: making sure a customer in Maindee or Malpas finds the company down the road before one that is an hour and a toll bridge away.
For most Newport searches the three map listings get the calls. We sort your categories, service area, opening hours, photos and the steady flow of reviews that keeps you in them.
A single services page saying you cover South Wales will lose to a competitor with a proper Newport page. We write the pages your area actually needs and nothing padded out.
Before any content goes up we check how Google sees the site: speed on a phone, pages it cannot index, missing titles, broken redirects. Those get fixed first because they hold everything else back.
You get a monthly note showing the phone calls, enquiry forms and map direction requests that came from Google, not a ranking chart that means little to your bank balance.
Type almost any trade and Newport into Google and look at who comes back. A good share of the results will be Cardiff firms, some will be national directories, and on a bad day a few will be from across the Severn in Bristol. The genuinely local businesses are often on the second page.
That happens because Newport has sat in Cardiff’s shadow online for years. The bigger city agencies write pages that mention Newport in passing, their clients pick up the traffic, and the firm on Commercial Street that has served the city for twenty years never gets a look in.
A lot of Newport searching is also done by commuters. People who live in Rogerstone or Duffryn and work in Cardiff or Bristol search from wherever they happen to be, so your site needs to make it obvious which parts of Newport you cover, not just where your premises are.
We start by pulling the real numbers for your trade across the city, checking who currently takes the top spots and why, then showing you the gap in plain terms before you spend a penny. Any SEO agency Newport firms speak to should be able to do the same.
Our studio is in Swansea. Newport is about an hour east along the M4, traffic at the Brynglas tunnels permitting, and we will not rent a virtual office on Commercial Street to pretend otherwise.
Being a drive away makes very little difference to how the work gets done. Most of it is research, writing, fixing and reporting, and that runs perfectly well over email and the odd video call. When a visit genuinely helps, such as sitting down to plan the year, we come to you.
We know Newport is not one place. A retailer near Friars Walk, a logistics firm by the docks and a consultancy out at Celtic Springs are chasing completely different customers, and the plan for each looks different.
And because we are not paying city centre Cardiff rent, the monthly price reflects that.
How close you are to the person searching is one of the biggest things Google weighs locally. These are the parts of Newport we plan around, and each has its own mix of customers and search habits.
Beyond search, Newport businesses can also come to us for paid Google Ads and a new website when the current one is the real obstacle.
Shops, cafés, salons, solicitors and accountants competing for the same handful of map spots. Complete profiles, fresh photos and a steady stream of genuine reviews decide who gets seen.
Logistics, engineering, trade suppliers and firms at Celtic Springs and along junctions 24 to 28. Buyers here want capability and location in one search, and they judge you on how quickly the site answers practical questions.
Residential areas where people search by their own name first. Trades and home services that cover them need those names on the site, or they only show up for people in the centre.
Busy local high streets and growing estates full of families and commuters. Most searches here happen on a phone, so a quick mobile site and a tap to call button matter as much as the ranking.
Our SEO starts from £350 a month plus VAT. Where you land above that depends on how crowded your trade is in Newport and how much repair the website needs first. You get one fixed monthly price before we start, and it only goes up if you ask for more.
Not much, honestly. Most are written by directories that charge agencies to be included, or by the agencies themselves. They are a fine place to find names, but judge each firm on what it shows you about your own site, not on where a paid list put it.
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. Google changes results constantly and personalises them by location. What a good agency can promise is honest work on the things that move rankings, and clear reporting on whether it is paying off.
With us it is an audit of the whole site, a review of your Google profile, and a look at who beats you locally and why. You get a short prioritised plan, then we start on the fixes that will make the biggest difference soonest.
No. We work from our studio in Swansea, roughly an hour along the M4. We visit Newport clients when there is a good reason to, and the rest of the time we are a phone call away.
Usually because they have a page that talks about Newport and you have not, or their Google profile is fuller than yours. Now and then it is a technical fault on your own site. We work out which before we quote, so you are not paying to guess.
Yes. We add the areas you really serve to your profile and write content for the ones with enough searches behind them. We will not churn out copies of one page with the place name changed, because Google treats those as doorway pages and so do customers.
Map listing improvements can show within weeks. Organic rankings for the busier Newport searches usually need three to six months before a clear trend appears. Google sets out what it weighs locally in its local ranking guide, and that is where we focus.
No. Everything runs month to month on 30 days notice. The pages we write and the fixes we make belong to you, whether you stay or not.
We do the research and the writing, based on how Newport customers phrase their searches, and nothing goes live until you have approved it. You know your customers, so your comments shape the finished pages.
Because the aim here is narrower: Newport customers finding you. Our SEO agency Wales service is for businesses selling right across the country. We also cover SEO in Cardiff next door.
A single page in plain English. What we changed, which searches moved, and how many calls, forms and direction requests Google sent your way. If something is underperforming, the report says so and what we are doing about it.
Before you sign up with an SEO agency in Newport or anywhere else, send me your website and I will look through it myself. I will tell you what is stopping Newport customers finding you, what it would take to fix, and whether SEO is the right spend for you at all. If it is not, I will say so.
Before we start, what should I call you?
